Chapter Start
A cold voice echoes through the air—
"It's been a long time… Aviraj Verma."
Aviraj freezes.
His eyes slowly lift—
And in the very next second—
"KAAAAIIITOOO!!!"
His roar shakes the entire area.
"You're not escaping today!"
Aviraj raises his hand—
And instantly—
A massive shadow army erupts into existence.
Hundreds of soldiers stand ready on the battlefield.
Without hesitation, Aviraj charges straight toward Kaito.
In his eyes—
Only one thing burns.
Revenge.
"You took my Master… Sidharth Yadav… away from me…"
"I will never forgive you!"
He closes the distance in a flash—
Just as he's about to strike—
Kaito speaks calmly—
"Will you kill your best friend too… Vaibhav?"
Aviraj stops.
Time itself seems to freeze.
And suddenly—
Everything changes.
In the blink of an eye—
Aviraj, Aditya, and the others find themselves standing inside an airport.
Aviraj clenches his fists.
"He escaped again…!"
Aditya looks confused.
"Sir… why were you calling Vaibhav 'Kaito'?"
Then—
A voice echoes from behind—
"So… you finally arrived, Bloodbond."
Scene Shift – Hell
In the depths of darkness—
A demon suddenly speaks—
"This overwhelming power… where is it coming from?"
A towering figure steps forward—
A Supreme Demon.
"This energy… it's coming from a Gate."
He closes his eyes—
And observes.
"Aviraj… Bloodbond…"
"…but who is that standing beside him… with such a demonic aura?"
His eyes open.
"Teleport."
In the next instant—
Kaito appears before him.
Kaito casually lights a cigarette.
"And who are you?"
The demon smiles.
"I am Malzor."
"I can free you from that body…"
"…but in exchange, your soul will belong to me."
Kaito doesn't hesitate.
"Deal."
Malzor creates a new body—
One identical to Vaibhav.
A spell is cast.
Kaito's soul shifts into the new vessel.
Kaito stands up in his new body.
"Hm… this one feels much better."
Malzor smirks.
"Now your soul belongs to me."
Kaito lets out a low laugh.
"Malzor… you should know…"
"…a soul can only be taken from someone weaker."
"…and I'm far stronger than you."
Suddenly—
Kaito releases his full power.
Inferno Mode.
Malzor's expression shatters.
"This… Inferno power?!"
"It was supposed to be extinct for centuries…!"
Kaito smirks.
"When a human becomes so dark that even demons feel it…"
"…this power is born."
"…and right now, I'm the only one who has it."
Kaito lifts Vaibhav's body.
"Teleport."
And in an instant—
They return to the battlefield.
Scene Shift – Airport
A voice echoes behind Aviraj—
"So… you're here, Bloodbond."
Aviraj turns.
A small boy sits there calmly.
Aditya blinks in confusion.
"Kid… how did you get here?"
Aviraj's voice turns cold.
"Aditya… don't move."
"…that's not a child."
"He has Inferno-level power."
The boy claps slowly.
"Impressive, Bloodbond… you understood right away."
"My name is Ansh."
"And I'm here to kill you."
Aviraj's gaze sharpens.
"Why?"
"And were you the one who killed all those hunters?"
Ansh smiles.
"Yes. Everything… was done by me."
"You humans took everything from me…"
"…and Lord Xytherion gave me a mission—"
"To capture you."
Aditya frowns.
"Who is Xytherion?"
Ansh's voice darkens.
"When my family was destroyed…"
"…a demon saved me."
"That demon… is Xytherion."
Aviraj speaks again—
Calm. Dangerous.
"Where is Anvi?"
Ansh grins.
"With me."
He gestures—
A prison appears.
Inside—
Anvi.
Unconscious. Trapped.
The moment Aviraj sees her—
Something inside him snaps.
"You're dead."
He turns to Aditya.
"Run. Now."
Aditya doesn't hesitate—
He rushes into a nearby room.
Aviraj starts laughing—
A dark, chilling laugh.
"No one can save you now…"
He slowly rises into the air.
The airport lights begin to flicker… then dim.
His eyes—
Turn black.
A single red dot glowing in the center.
Ansh smiles wider.
"Oh… so you have Inferno Mode too."
His own eyes change—
Black.
Red dot.
Meanwhile…
Kaito gently places Vaibhav's body on the ground.
"Your body was useful…"
"…so I'll let you live."
He punches the wall—
A portal tears open.
On the other side—
Japan.
"Goodbye… Vaibhav Sharma."
Kaito steps in.
The portal closes.
Back at the Station
Aditya emerges from the room—
Only to find himself back at the same station.
His eyes widen.
"Wait… what?"
Then—
He spots Vaibhav.
He runs toward him and shakes him awake.
Vaibhav slowly opens his eyes.
"…What year… is this?"
Aditya exhales in relief.
"Sir… same day. Same year."
"Kaito… is gone."
Scene Shift – HQ
Inside headquarters—
Aditya's father stands before a team.
"Aviraj, Vaibhav, and Anvi entered that Gate…"
"…and they still haven't returned."
His expression turns serious.
"That means something dangerous is inside."
He looks at the team.
"Prepare yourselves."
