Author note: I’m back! Took quite a break huh… not because I wanted to though. College has been destroying me, but hopefully I’ll get back on track starting from now. Thank you all for staying on the track with me!

‘W-what in the world is he saying?’ Tyr questioned, his brain barely able to stay conscious right now.

Krax Sakti stood on Black’s chest like a heavy metal beam on a trampoline, touching the floor and immovable.

Black’s previous had been wiped out, replaced with a more forgiving energy that was Sakti’s.

Hanzo and the others slowly rose to their feet, gazing at Sakti with awe-filled faces.

“I…” Black said, his eyes wide open and his pupils dancing as though they were being vibrated.

‘All those years of planning… and yet, I overlooked something like this? No… this is not my fault. How could I expect this demon to arrive so quickly? Mere seconds of my existence and he was here.

He is different from me… a true being of power.’

Black couldn’t help but tighten his fists and clench him until his palms bled.

His eyes flew open: “I apologize!” He screamed, “Please! I submit everything to his almighty!”

Sakti raised his chin, a disdainful look on his face, “You have plagued this world for far too long… Black of the underground merchants…” He said in a low tone.

‘He knows… who I am… even in this state?’ Black thought to himself in disbelief, his frustration growing like a bamboo shoot.

Sakti turned to face Tyr. The man’s eyes were enough to make Tyr’s eyes widen in amazement.

It wasn’t fear… but rather, astonishing respect for the man.

However, there was no doubt about it: ‘He tried to threaten my mental fortitude there… If I didn’t have Full Golden Body activated, I can already tell that I would have been crushed under that fearsome Aura from just a single glance.’

After that, Sakti’s eyes gazed across the crowd in a more soft manner.

“I see you brats want to make history…” Sakti exclaimed, clenching his fist.

Everyone froze like deer in headlights. Even Reana, who had her finger on the trigger to capture a picture, could not move her hand even a millimeter under the pressure.

“So be it.” Sakti said before hurling a punch into Black’s chest. The punch sent a resounding boom through the floor and across the entire city as Black’s limbs flung forward and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

With that, Sakti took a step back and got off of the giant. He looked around again before facing Tyr.

“You… have promise, kid. Don’t die.” With that, the man disappeared on the spot.

Tyr was so focused on the present moment that he barely even thought about what the man had just said.

Instead, he forced himself to rise to his feet–his organs ruptured and bleeding.

‘My legs… are still fine.’ He thought to himself as he stumbled all the way over to Black, ‘I can still hear his breath…’ Tyr mused.

Everyone stared forward with anticipation. With Krax Sakti’s pressure gone, Reana continued to take pictures of the events unfolding before her.

Each picture showed Tyr having moved multiple feet closer to the fallen Black.

Finally, Tyr climbed onto the giant’s torso and stood on his chest, clenching his own fist and looking down at the man underneath him with pure malice in his eyes.

Black spoke, barely able to get his words out, “I…” He said, “Knew this was going to happen. But I would never allow myself to be killed without a challenge… you fucker. You did not deserve it… YOU ARE NOTH–“

As he began to scream, Tyr said only a single word: “Die…” And with that, he unleashed a punch into the same spot where Sakti had hit the giant.

Tyr’s fist tore through the man’s torso and ribs, grabbing his still-beating heart.

‘Its too big to grab…’ Tyr mused, digging all five of his fingers into the organ before pushing his legs into Black’s stomach and thrusting the heart out of his chest.

Black gagged, coughing up blood as his eyes lost all spark and slowly turned lifeless.

Tyr raised the heart above his head, the organ still beating as Reana took pictures of the event.

All those witnessing this event gazed with awe and reverence, relief, joy, and… the satisfaction of retribution.

As everyone reacted, most rejoicing with eager screams, and some mourning the losses of their lost ones, a robed figure staring at the scene from afar behind a building turned and began to sprint away.

He quickly disappeared into the distance while panting in shock, ‘Our leader is dead…’ He said to himself, ‘And he… no, forget about him.’

He paused, thinking of something before quickly shrugging it off. Discover hidden tales at m,v l’e-NovelBin

‘Anyways, I have to report what’s important to the world. The head may have been sliced off, but the body will remain as long as the blood still flows. I will cause havoc to Tyr Evolion before I get snubbed out as well…’

Finally, he looked forward with determined eyes glowing in a bright brown hue: ‘I will tell the world that he has the dragon.’

The day after the event, Reana left to publish her scoop to the world. But before that, she bowed to Tyr with tears trickling down from her eyes like rivers and thanked him wholeheartedly.

Tyr was a bit surprised by this, not expecting the sudden act. He was completely bandaged up from head to toe, but still stood up on Reana’s request to accept her words of gratitude.

“Thank you, Tyr! I will never forget this moment until the day I die! I’m sorry for ever doubting you…”

Tyr was speechless at first, his friends around him near his resting bed.

However, he smiled after only a moment and replied: “Of course… now go tell the world how strong I am.” He grinned.

Reana couldn’t help but chuckle through her tears as she heard this.

“I will!” She laughed, still bowing with tears and snot all over her face.

With that, Reana left, and another day passed. On that following day, a tsunami crashed on the continent of Ainsveld.

“Are you serious!?”

“No way…”

“Who is that kid?”

That brilliant scene of Tyr holding Black’s heart up for all to see was soon mass-printed and plastered on the walls of almost every major town within Zasea.

“Let me see! Give that paper to me!”

“Tyr…”

“Where did he come from!?”

The shocking news quickly spread to the highest of media, catching their interests like a delicious grub on a hook and making them take the biggest bite of their lives.

“Is it another prodigy!?”

“He looks awesome!”

“What a monster…”

All news sources across the Zasea Kingdom began to print out the word of Tyr’s accomplishments, and the destruction of one of the most infamous villain groups in Ainsveld.

“This is unbelievable…”

“You’re right… it’s enough to shake up the state of the continent.”

The news spread like wildfire, reaching across the borders of the kingdom and quickly being shared all across the continent within hours.

“I can’t fathom it… who is this guy!?”

“That guy was the leader of the Black Merchant Guild!?”

“I can’t believe they are actually gone… that Tyr kid is a saint!”

Through Aura announcements, fast newspapers and word of mouth, the grand act of a young, unknown figure going by the name of Tyr Evolion quickly became the talk of every major town and minor city.
