Chapter 4 - The Judgment Of The Survivors

Scene 1: The Blood Invitation

(The screen opens revealing Nemor holding the decapitated head of a player. The camera slowly pans down to show the blood-soaked ground and the bodies of three other fallen players. One of them is still breathing, injured, releasing small flames from his mouth.)

Nemor (with a dark smile):

— You're strong, aren't you? Tell me... don't you want to join me? Your friends were too weak. And as you can see... it cost them their lives.

Injured Player (gasping, suspicious):

— Are you... are you even human?

Nemor (with disdain):

— I believe I am... But maybe I'll let you live. If you agree to help me eliminate the remaining players.

Player (with restrained anger):

— Do you enjoy taking human lives?

Nemor (laughing ironically):

— Still so innocent? Think about it... A game with no rules, fifty players divided into groups of five. And in the end, only two or three groups will be victorious.

Nemor (cold eyes):

— I have no intention of letting anyone else live... except me, of course. I hate sharing. But... if you help me eliminate the rest, I'll let you live. Now, if you refuse... you'll be the next to fall.

Player (hesitant, suspicious):

— And if I accept... what will you do with me after everyone else is dead?

Nemor (pretending to be friendly):

— Oh... I'll split the prize with you. How about that?

Player:

— Alright... I accept.

Nemor (smiling insanely):

— Excellent. Your fire power is truly impressive. Tell me, what's your name?

Player:

— Barzar.

Nemor:

— Incredible...

(The screen fades to black.)

Scene 2: The Fury Awakens

(When the scene opens again, Revild is firmly holding Ragnoto's leg.)

Revild (cold and imposing):

— Stop this.

Otakura (bloody and swollen face, muttering weakly):

— Run... He's a monster...

Ragnoto (furious):

— Let go of my leg! Your time is coming!

(Ragnoto tries to break free, but Revild holds him with immense strength.)

Ragnoto (surprised):

— What absurd strength is this?!

(With brutality, Revild throws him against a wall, sending rubble flying.)

Otakura (spitting blood):

— I... owe you one...

Revild:

— Just rest. I've got this.

(Revild turns to Sasha.)

Revild:

— You're Sasha, right?

Sasha (nodding):

— Yes, that's me.

Revild:

— I'll take care of his wounds. Alya, watch over the unconscious one.

(Ragnoto stands up, furious.)

Ragnoto (growling):

— You bastard... How dare you interrupt my fun?!

(Revild vanishes instantly. Before Ragnoto can react, a devastating punch sends him flying.)

(Revild reappears and, before Ragnoto hits the ground, lands a brutal kick to his face.)

Ragnoto (confused):

— That speed...?! I can't keep up!

(Ragnoto releases a massive wave of dark energy. Revild absorbs, mimics, and amplifies the magic, launching it back with explosive force, blasting through two walls.)

Ragnoto (trying to stand):

— He... copied my power?! No matter... it's still not enough!

Ragnoto (shouting):

— Fifth Resurrection!

(A dark and menacing aura engulfs his body.)

Sasha (panicked):

— That aura... it's the same he used against Otakura!

(Revild charges and delivers four rapid punches to Ragnoto, who barely reacts.)

Ragnoto:

— Is that all?!

(He unleashes a huge wave of dark energy. Revild tries to contain it but is forced to dodge. The impact throws him against the wall. He spits blood.)

Revild (gasping):

— That power... If I hadn't dodged, I'd be dead.

(Ragnoto appears in front of him in an instant.)

Ragnoto:

— Now, Revild... witness true power!

(Another attack sends him flying even farther.)

Revild (getting up):

— I've understood your power. But tell me... what is this resurrection thing?

Ragnoto (impatient):

— You're about to die. Why do you care?

Revild:

— Because you haven't seen my true power. I can copy any magic from those I touch.

Ragnoto:

— That won't change your fate. You will die!

Revild:

— I don't just copy... I amplify four times when countering. Watch this.

Ragnoto:

— Pathetic.

Revild (shouting):

— Fourth Resurrection!

(A colossal energy field explodes around him.)

Ragnoto (shocked):

— Impossible! How can a human... have such power?!

Alya (stunned):

— His power seems even stronger...

Otakura (whispering):

— Who is this guy...?

(Revild appears behind Ragnoto and lands a concentrated punch that pierces his body. A black energy explosion sends Ragnoto flying, spitting blood.)

Ragnoto (desperate):

— No... This isn't possible... I'm one of the Demon King's knights... I can't be defeated by a mere human!

(Revild walks toward him, shrouded in a massive dark aura.)

Ragnoto (panicking):

— I... I'll run! Yes! I have to run!

(He tries to take a step... but his head is sliced off in an instant. His body falls, blood gushing.)

Otakura (shocked):

— He did it... But this guy... is a monster.

Revild:

— Ragnoto claimed to be a Demon King's knight... That means there are others like him.

(The screen fades to black.)

Scene 3: Nina's Sword

(A new scene opens. A group of five players — four men and one woman, Nina — are facing a black-haired horned creature.)

(Nina teleports, appears in front of the enemy, summons a sword, and decapitates it in a single strike. She exhales deeply.)

Teammates:

— Nice one, Nina! You're amazing!

Elias:

— With Nina on our team, I'm sure we'll make it to the end and win this game!

Nina:

— Don't overdo it. I just did what any of you would've done.

Nina (confused):

— But... who was that guy? He came out of nowhere and attacked us...

Elias:

— With those horns and creepy look... could he have been a demon? Like an NPC?

Goto:

— If he was an NPC, don't you think the game's getting a little too brutal?

Nina:

— Should we keep going?

Elias:

— Yeah, you're right. After all, you're the leader.

Nina:

— Leader? What do you mean?

Devil:

— Of course! You're the strongest among us.

(The screen fades to black.)

Scene 4: Kinetsa's Group

(The camera focuses on another group. Kinetsa is among them.)

Sasuke:

— Hey, white-haired girl... Your name's Kinetsa, right?

Kinetsa:

— Yeah. What is it?

Sasuke:

— Can I... can I touch your boobs? Please, just a little?

Kinetsa:

— Keep dreaming, you idiot.

Sasuke:

— Aw... that's mean...

Orimya:

— Is that all you think about? You perv!

Sasuke:

— But they're so beautiful... Don't you agree?

Sara:

— Kinetsa, you said you entered the game with your brother, but got separated, right?

Kinetsa:

— Yeah... But I'll find him. Soon.
