Episode 4 - Survival in the Midst of Extermination 2

Scene: Flames engulf houses and bases around Luminus Mountains

Civilians and disciples, lie dead, injured among the ruins.

Elder Juzo:

"Anti-Healing Art: Decaying Light Orb!"

Baorra:

"Bamboo Sword Art: Red Wiper!"

BOOMMSSHHH!!

Scene Change:

Kyuen:

"Bi…ill…"

Kyuen lies heavily injured, blood covering his face and body.

Slowly, Elder Juzo begins healing him.

Kyuen does not yet know that Bill has already died,

and he himself is in a life-and-death situation—

he could lose consciousness at any minute.

Baorra:

"You really live up to the name Sage of Healing…

but how much can you endure?

Healing others while fighting, your energy is greatly decreasing.

You're sweating too much, old man."

Elder Juzo:

"Shut up. Now I see why you never reached the top.

You lost even to that woman. Your skill isn't enough to be the head.

You'll remain a commander for the rest of your life. Hahaha!"

Baorra's face twists with irritation.

Baorra:

"Shut up, old man. You know nothing!"

"Bamboo Sword Art: Red Geori Slashes!"

shhww.. shhww.. busshhh!!

Suddenly, a figure steps out from the darkness, striking Elder Juzo from behind.

Hooded Figure:

"It's time to rest, old man…"

In a split second, Baorra slashes at Elder Juzo.

The healing is disrupted, leaving many in danger—including Kyuen.

Elder Juzo (thinking):

"The attack came from behind… it paralyzes my body…

it's like a combination of silencing and poison skills."

Narrator:

"At over eighty years old, the old man can no longer endure.

Bearing tremendous damage, combined with the poison and silencing stab of the attack,

his body collapses to his knees, finally falling to the ground, blood covering his mouth and body."

Hooded Figure:

"I've made sure to kill him with the lethal poison from that attack.

Baorra, I'll leave you here. I'll check the outside territory."

Scene Change:

Red-Eyes Black-Faced Man:

"I can't believe I lost to you in combat…

So much for the weakest. If your energy weren't limited, you could even match me.

But look at your so-called strongest disciple…"

The Black Beast stabs Orozell's body.

The Black Puppet opens, revealing an old man inside.

Metal Puppet opening sound: krrr… krrrr….

Orozoel (exhausted):

"You… you are an Elder of one of the High Clans…"

Narrator:

Clans are divided into four levels:

Small Clans

Average Clans

High Clans

Highest Clans

Orozoel (exhausted, gasping):

"Mroku Clan… Korud Mroku…

You've been hiding for many years because of your crimes.

They spread word that you had died… so that was all a lie."

Korud:

"It's time to end this. Your energy is leaving you.

We will attack him once…

Metal Art: Bloody Black Cage."

A black metal quickly forms a circle web around field of Orozoel.

Scene Change:

Elder Juzo (thinking, exhausted):

"I… I'm at my limit… too much blood lost, the poison has already spread…

This old body can't take it…

Wait… that boy is releasing energy? His dying body…

Ah, of course… I healed him.

But why is he releasing energy? He has a very rare disease…

(Coughs up blood)… We're almost wiped out…

If this is a miracle… I have to bet on this kid before I die…"

Elder Juzo slowly crawls toward Kyuen.

Scene Change:

Orozoel kneels, pierces by black metal small blades.

His right arm is cut and destroyed.

Hooded Man (appearing):

"The Elder has died. The clan is almost wiped out.

According to my reports, the flames are spreading fast."

Orozoel (before dying, gasping):

"Hah… haha… There wi…ll always be a born… hee…ro.

You'll face judgment! Remember my words!!!"

(Korud cuts his head.)

Scene Change:

Elder Juzo:

"Boy… you have so many broken bones… how are you able to release energy?

Study this book, which contains arts created by me…"

Juzo drags Kyuen toward a cliff, planning to throw him from a very high point

in the mountain base.

He channels his last energy from his hands into Kyuen's heart.

He also inserts his Art Book into Kyuen's clothing.

Elder Juzo:

"I've completely healed your left arm, and my last energy is now channeled into your heart.

I also put an energy barrier so you'll survive from this.

This will be enough for at least two days.

Survive at any cost. Your body is creating a miracle. Bye-bye, brat…"

Narrator:

The mountain base of the Great Luminus Clan has been completely destroyed.

Almost wiped out cause there are others that in unknown status.

Outsiders cannot see what is happening inside due to the Silent Field skill.

Two hours remain before it deactivates.

The fall of the Great Luminus Clan is complete.

Despair and Reality strikes in the next episode.
