"The Blade of Despair" Deep inside the Rivermoor dungeon's ruined laboratory, Zee stands face to face with Kiro — the man who betrayed everyone he once called family. With Huma still trapped and unconscious inside the Extraction Capsule, there is no room left for words. Golden aura ignites around Zee's Obsidian Sword; shadow energy coils around Kiro's twin daggers. What follows is a battle that tears the laboratory itself apart — shattering soul capsules, unleashing half-formed demons, and forcing Kiro to drag the fight into the open sky. Under a full moon in the forest beyond the dungeon, the true duel begins. Kiro toys with Zee at first, testing him, breaking his rhythm — until a cruel revelation about Master Jin's death ignites something far more dangerous in Zee: a golden power passed down in his final moments. Sword against shadow, the two clash again and again, cutting through trees and earth, until both warriors bleed and Kiro is forced to retreat through a portal, promising their next battle will be the last. Back in the ruins, Zee's companions save Huma and bring down the laboratory for good — but the cost is written on Zee's body when he finally returns, collapsing the moment he knows she's safe. As the wounded pair rest and heal beneath the moonlight, the calm feels less like relief and more like a warning: this was only the beginning of something far greater waiting in the dark.
