Chapter 29 : The Second Blue Knight
Yuzurei walked calmly through the misty, high-tech corridors, spinning his four katanas lazily in the air.
Yuzurei: "I'm sooo bored…"
The eerie silence and flickering blue lights didn't bother him at all — in fact, he looked almost relaxed.
Moments later, footsteps echoed behind him. Musukoni appeared from the shadows, his usual calm expression in place.
Musukoni: "So you're here. We thought you were lost."
Yuzurei turned slightly, catching one of his katanas mid-spin.
Yuzurei: "Eh? Ah, yeah, yeah... I'm just bored. Where are Yusikuna and Jin Yuan?"
Musukoni's eyes darkened slightly.
Musukoni: "Jin Yuan went to check the other side — he's searching for a way out."
He hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor.
"And… Yusikuna died saving me."
Yuzurei froze. For a brief second, his usual cocky grin faded. The image of Yusikuna's cheerful face and loud laugh flickered in his mind.
Yuzurei (quietly): "That bastard…"
He muttered it under his breath, then kept walking, his swords still spinning.
Musukoni: "Did you find anything?"
Yuzurei: "Eh!? In this boring place? What the hell could I possibly find!?"
He snapped, clearly irritated.
Musukoni: "Jin Yuan and I fought one of them — Blue Knight #3."
Yuzurei's head tilted.
Yuzurei: "Eh? 'Blue Knight Three'? What the hell is that?"
Musukoni: "Not sure. But judging by the marking on his gauntlet, he was probably the third-strongest fighter here."
Yuzurei's expression immediately changed — from annoyance to wild excitement.
Yuzurei: "You dummy!!! You fought one of the strongest without me!?"
He yelled, pouting in frustration before grinning wide again.
Musukoni: "If there's a third… that means there must be a second and a first as well."
Yuzurei's eyes gleamed like a maniac.
Yuzurei: "YES!!! I'll take them on myself!"
He said, his voice filled with excitement and madness as he started running deeper into the realm.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side —
Jin Yuan walked through the dense, shadow-filled corridors of the Blue Realm. The air grew heavier, darker, colder with each step.
And then — a voice echoed.
??? "My, my... seems this realm has a new guest."
A tall figure emerged from the fog — Tetsuya Makano, the Second Blue Knight.
He stood firm, a massive high-tech axe resting on his shoulder, a long black cloak flowing behind him. His golden eyes glowed faintly under the blue light, and strands of grey and brown hair framed his sharp face.
Tetsuya (smirking): "Welcome, intruder. I'll make sure you feel right at home…"
