The twist came when the King of Sloth himself appeared behind the hero. But he wasn't alone. Beside him stood the original 'Hero of Diligence,' a man who had gone mad from never resting. "You see, little Guardian," the King mocked, "the world needs balance. I gave you power, but Diligence here wants his throne back. He's the one sending the monsters. He wants to destroy the world so he can finally stop working."
The Hero of Diligence attacked with a speed that even the Sleepless Hero couldn't match. Every strike was a blur of pure kinetic energy. The battle tore through the palace, shattering stone and glass. The Sleepless Hero realized that fighting with pure power wasn't enough; he was becoming as mindless as his opponent. In the middle of the fight, he looked at Laila. She was holding a small, dusty pillow—the one he had lost long ago. She didn't remember him, but she had kept his only possession. This realization sparked a new kind of power—not from the Void, but from the fragments of love still hidden in his heart.
