Chapter 31 - Chapter 31 — The Twin of Shadows

The mage City Looks like Battleground

Where Vampires and Mage still doing battle

Scene-Nolex Dimension

The battlefield was still burning when Oban finally caught his breath. His eyes narrowed at the man standing before him — the same face as Aijack, but something about him was different.

Oban: "You're not Aijack… are you?"

The man smirked slightly.Nijack: "No. My name is Nijack. Aijack was my twin brother."

Oban froze for a moment, confused but alert.Oban: "Then why are you here? What do you want from me?"

Nijack folded his arms and took a few steps closer, calm and confident.Nijack: "I'm not here to destroy you, Oban. I'm here to change something far bigger. My brother only wanted chaos and blood. But I—" he pointed at himself "—want to end this endless war between humans and vampires."

Oban frowned.Oban: "End it? By attacking me?"

Nijack: "By testing you. I want to see if a vampire like you can rise beyond bloodlust. Humans and vampires hate each other because they fear what they don't understand. I want to make awareness between both races… but before that, I must know who among us is worthy to lead."

Oban: "So that's your real reason?"

Nijack: "Yes. I want to take my brother's place and reshape everything he ruined. I'll bring a new order — one where vampires and humans don't hide from each other anymore."

Oban's eyes sharpened.Oban: "You're just another manipulator hiding behind words."

Nijack tilted his head, not angry but rather amused.Nijack: "You really think I'm lying? You've killed enough to know pain, haven't you? Tell me, Oban, are you proud of what you've become?"

Oban's fists tightened. He didn't answer.Instead, he turned and raised his hand toward Yuji, whose body lay nearby, wounded and fading fast.

Oban: "You're not my concern anymore."

He transferred Yuji's body into the living world through a small dimensional tear, using the last bit of his control over the portal.

Scene: The Living World

At the mage city, chaos was everywhere. Vampires and mages were still locked in battle, their spells and attacks shaking the ruined streets.

Suddenly, a glowing mark appeared in the sky, and Yuji's body dropped to the ground, covered in blood.

Klein: "What the— Yuji?!"

He rushed toward him, eyes wide in shock.

Klein: (whispering to Allisa) "What is he doing here? Didn't Oban kill him? Or is something else going on?"

Allisa didn't reply. She placed her hand near Yuji's forehead, her eyes glowing faintly. Through her psychic connection, she read Yuji's thoughts — and saw what was happening inside the dimension.

She saw Oban and Nijack face to face, the tension, the talk about Aijack, and Nijack's purpose. Her face turned serious immediately.

Allisa: "We need to go there. Now."

She quickly pulled out the Dimensional Key. The object pulsed with a faint red light, vibrating in her hand.

{Note -Key of Dimensionality:Its a key which access All Type of endless dimensions Of entire Cosmology}

Klein: "Wait! You just healed up, Allisa. If you force a transfer again, your body won't handle it."

Allisa: (taking a deep breath) "Then you go. I'll stay here. Just bring them back alive."

Klein nodded once, took the key, and without another word, activated it.The air around him warped, and in an instant, he vanished into the dimensional space.

Scene: Inside the Dimension

Oban and Nijack stood facing each other again. The ground was still, the air tense.

Oban: "You talk about awareness, peace, and control, but you killed Yuji's family. You're the reason he hates vampires."

Nijack smirked, looking almost entertained.Nijack: "Oh, that part. I didn't kill them for pleasure. I did it because they were part of an experiment—one that could've stopped this war decades ago. But humans refused to understand."

Oban's tone hardened.Oban: "You experimented on them…? You think that justifies it?"

Nijack: "No. But I live with it. I know what I've done. You, on the other hand, hide from your own sins."

Oban's body trembled in anger.Oban: "You talk like you understand pain, but you're the same as Aijack. You both destroy everything you touch!"

Nijack: (smiling faintly) "Oh boy, you're angry, huh?"

Before Oban could move, Nijack dashed forward and punched him straight in the chest, sending him sliding across the ground.

Oban coughed, clutching his ribs, then looked up with fury burning in his eyes.

Nijack: "Not bad. You can take a hit. But I'm not here to just fight… I want to see what's inside you — your full potential. Show me if you can be the one who changes this world, or if you're just another killer."

Oban clenched his jaw, the mark of his system glowing faintly across his left hand.

System: [Emotion Surge detected. Combat efficiency increased by 37%.]

Oban stood, his energy rising. His expression went cold.

Oban: "You want my full potential?"

Nijack: "Yes, boy. Show me what you really are."

Oban's aura burst outward as the system screen glowed brighter. His energy spiked, shaking the air around them.

The world seemed to pause — the ground cracking, light bending.

And then—

System: [Rage Protocol Activated]

Everything went silent.
