The Grand Court's Command
In the vast and ominous Grand Court, the King sat on his towering throne, surrounded by demons, monsters, and shadowy figures that governed the realm. His cold, piercing gaze swept across the room before he spoke, his voice echoing through the chamber.
"Send the assassin to Earth. I want answers."
A sinister figure stepped forward from the shadows, his very presence making the others shudder. Without a word, he vanished into the darkness, heading toward his mission.
Meanwhile, the Monster Lord, who had been listening in silence, clenched his jaw. His monstrous claws dug into the armrest of his throne as he smirked.
"If my soldiers retrieve the source of this disturbance before the King does, it will be in my favor," he thought. His glowing eyes flickered with sinister amusement.
He then commanded his elite monster soldiers, creatures forged in battle, to travel to Earth. But unlike the assassin, their mission was clear—find the source, eliminate the threat.
The Training Hall – Rakhad's Warning
Far from the chaos, in an ancient training hall, the sound of fists striking stone echoed. A muscular young man stood amidst shattered rock, his breath steady despite the intense training.
His name was Rakhad, a prodigy of battle and disciple of a legendary master.
A figure, cloaked in wisdom and age, approached him. "Boy, have you felt anything… unusual lately?"
Rakhad frowned, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Teacher, why do you ask me this every day?"
The master remained silent, waiting.
Rakhad sighed and finally answered. "Two days ago… something strange happened. The air became so heavy that everyone around me collapsed to their knees. It felt like… the entire world was being crushed."
The master's expression darkened. His voice was low and ominous. "I know. He is coming."
Rakhad's eyes narrowed. "Who?"
Before his master could answer, a loud, thunderous noise erupted outside. The ground trembled beneath their feet.
BOOM!
Rakhad instinctively grabbed his weapon, his pulse quickening. "What was that?"
The Portal Opens – Zoick's Stand
At the entrance of Zoick's lab, an unnatural distortion rippled through the air. Suddenly, a portal burst open, its energy crackling like lightning.
From within, four monstrous figures emerged, each exuding a terrifying aura. Their glowing eyes locked onto the building, sensing their target.
Zoick, standing at the entrance with his arms crossed, scoffed. "How many of you does it take to handle one guy?" His voice dripped with arrogance.
The monsters ignored him and marched forward, their claws ready to tear through anything in their path.
Zoick's smirk faded. He clenched his fists. "Tch… guess I have no choice."
Sang's Nightmare – The Pitch-Black Abyss
Meanwhile, Sang remained trapped in an endless dream, his body lying motionless in the lab.
A void surrounded him—pure blackness. It was an abyss with no end, no sound, no light… except for the faintest echo of a voice.
It was deep. Ancient. Monstrous.
"Why are you running?"
Sang froze. His breath became shallow as he turned, desperately searching for the source. But there was nothing—just pitch-black emptiness.
"Who are you?!" he shouted, his voice trembling.
No response.
He took cautious steps forward, reaching out into the darkness, but his hands met nothing. The voice laughed, its sound reverberating from every direction.
"What happened to me?! Why is this happening?!" Sang's frustration turned into desperation.
Then, a chilling answer.
"Because you are...
Zoick's Awakening – The Battle Begins
Back in reality, the monsters reached their target. One of them extended its clawed hand toward Sang's neck, ready to end him.
But in an instant—
A surge of power exploded from Zoick.
His muscles bulged, his eyes ignited with an otherworldly glow, and his body began to shift. His skin hardened, his fingers elongated into sharp claws, and an overwhelming aura erupted from within him.
The very air became suffocating.
"LEAVE. MY. FRIEND."
Zoick's voice shook the battlefield, deeper, more monstrous than ever before.
The monster soldier hesitated for only a second—a fatal mistake.
SLAASH!
Before it could react, Zoick beheaded the soldier in a single strike. The remaining three lunged at him, but Zoick, now fully transformed, met them head-on.
The battlefield erupted in chaos.
Claws clashed, bodies tore through buildings, and the ground cracked beneath them. The once-arrogant Zoick was now an unstoppable force, moving with instinctual rage.
Rakhad's Arrival – A Terrifying Sight
Far away, Rakhad sensed the violent auras clashing. He could feel it—power beyond human comprehension.
Without hesitation, he rushed toward the battlefield, his heart pounding.
As he reached the scene, his eyes widened in shock.
Before him stood a raging beast, its body covered in blood and scars, its eyes glowing with nothing but pure fury.
It wasn't a monster.
It was Zoick.
And in that moment, Rakhad felt something stir within him. A deep, unknown force…
Something was waking up inside him, too.
