"The higher they soar, the greater their fall. But even fallen angels still cast divine shadows."
The Tribunal Zone began to warp—its golden walls folding outward like petals of light. Jiwoon, now a Code Bearer, stepped into the shifting threshold of a new realm:
[Entering Exile Layer: Skyfall]
[Target Detected: Lioras, the Celestial Dragon – Former Archon of Judicium]
Skyfall – The Realm of Exiles
Above them stretched a cracked, hollow sky; shards of ancient justice floated like broken wings.
Here dwelled all beings deemed "too divine or too dangerous" for any world.
Mira (whispers):
"So this is where the system throws away its mistakes…"
Jiwoon:
"Not mistakes—threats to its control."
In the distance, a cathedral built from silver bone and molten clouds floated mid-air.
And on its edge stood a towering silhouette… Lioras.
The Celestial Dragon Appears
Lioras descended with slow grace, his four wings tattered but burning with holy flame. His eyes shone with a justice too sharp to be merciful.
Lioras:
"So the system sends a Warden to collect my debt?"
"How ironic—when I created its first code."
Jiwoon's Warden Mark responded with static and sparks.
[Sin Detection Error: Lioras operates outside measurable morality.]
[Initiate: Dialogue of Divine Conflict]
The Divine Debate
Jiwoon:
"You abandoned the cycle of judgment. How many suffered because of your silence?"
Lioras:
"And how many suffered because you followed it blindly?"
"I walked away not out of shame—but out of knowledge. The system feeds on guilt and calls it balance."
"Can you rewrite what was designed to be broken?"
The Challenge
Lioras extended his hand, summoning a weapon forged from light and flame—Judgmentfang.
"Then show me, Warden. Prove your will against the heavens themselves."
A storm gathered.
Jiwoon's armor responded in kind—his Dread Kirin-Dragon Mantle activated, swirling with dark smoke and silver glyphs.

End Scene
As blade met claw, sky met abyss.
The hunter who once punished mortals now faced a god who punished the system.
And the battlefield?
A heaven no longer worthy of its name.
