Episode 4 - Survival in the Midst of Extermination 2
Scene: Flames engulf houses and bases around Luminus Mountains
Civilians and disciples, lie dead, injured among the ruins.
Inside Luminus Main Compound — Fat Man Gazzu vs. Hooded Man
Hooded Man:
You're one of our top targets as well, though there are three main targets.
Your art is quite a headache to us right now! You need to die!!
The Hooded Man runs and releases energy strings straight from his claws
on his fingers. But Fat Man Gazzu sends the first fireball at him.
The Hooded Man jumps to avoid it; explosions and dust from the ground erupt.
Hooded Man: Hmm!?
Then he throws his string claws at Gazzu.
Fat Man Gazzu: Hmm!
He deflects the string claws with his hand imbued with flaming energy.
Then he counters with a skill.
Fat Man Gazzu:
Supreme Flame Art: Fire Wolves!
Flames take the form of wolves, circling the Hooded Man
before attacking together.
Explosions and fire erupt in the area, hitting him.
Fat Man Gazzu: Hmmp…
Scene change…
Elder Juzo and Baorra clash,
Baorra with his long sword and Juzo with concentrated energy
in his two hands. Their strikes collide and deflect each other.
Then Elder Juzo casts a skill,
and Baorra counters with his own.
Elder Juzo:
"Luminus Decaying Art: Decaying Light Orb!"
Baorra:
"Bamboo Sword Art: Red Wiper!"
Explosions, dust, and shockwaves spread across the area.
Near them, Kyuen and Bill lie on the ground.
Kyuen (bloodied, fatally injured):
"Bi…ill…"
Kyuen lies heavily injured, blood covering his face and body.
Slowly, Elder Juzo begins healing him.
Kyuen does not yet know that Bill has already died,
and he himself is in a life-and-death situation—
he could lose consciousness at any moment.
Baorra:
"You really live up to the name Sage of Healing…
but how much can you endure?
Healing others while fighting, your energy is greatly decreasing.
You're sweating too much, old man."
Elder Juzo:
"Shut up. Now I see why you never reached the top.
You lost even to that woman. Your skill isn't enough to be the head.
You'll remain a commander for the rest of your life. Hahaha!"
Baorra's face twists with irritation.
Baorra:
"Shut up, old man. You know nothing!"
"Bamboo Sword Art: Red Geori Slashes!"
Suddenly, a figure steps out from the darkness, striking Elder Juzo from behind.
Hooded Figure:
"It's time to rest, old man…"
In a split second, Baorra slashes at Elder Juzo.
The healing is disrupted, leaving many in danger—including Kyuen.
Elder Juzo (thinking):
"The attack came from behind… it paralyzes my body…
it's like a combination of silencing and poison skills."
Narrator:
"At over eighty years old, the old man can no longer endure.
Bearing tremendous damage, combined with the poison and silencing stab of the attack,
his body collapses to his knees, finally falling to the ground, blood covering his mouth and body."
Hooded Figure:
"I've made sure to kill him with the lethal poison from that attack.
Baorra, I'll leave you here. I'll check the outside territory."
Scene Change:
Red-Eyes Black-Faced Man:
"I can't believe I lost to you in combat…
So much for the weakest. If your energy weren't limited, you could even match me.
But look at your so-called strongest disciple…"
The Black Beast stabs Orozell's body.
Orozell (bloodied, thinking):Clan Head… I'm sorry… Owella… everyone…
Other senior disciples are crying on the ground,bloodied, some with fatal wounds, others already dead.
Then the Black Puppet opens, revealing an old man inside.
Metal Puppet opening sound: krrr… krrrr….
Orozoel (exhausted):
"You… you are an Elder of one of the High Clans…"
Narrator:
Clans are divided into four levels:
Small Clans
Average Clans
High Clans
Highest Clans
Orozoel (exhausted, gasping):
"Mroku Clan… Korud Mroku…
You've been hiding for many years because of your crimes.
They spread word that you had died… so that was all a lie."
Korud:
"It's time to end this. Your energy is leaving you.
We will attack him once…
Metal Art: Bloody Black Cage."
A black metal quickly forms a circle web around field of Orozoel.
Scene change: Back at Fat Man Gazzu vs. Hooded Man
The ground hit by the flame wolves is burning.
Fat Man Gazzu slowly walks near the Hooded Man's burning area.
Then he casts a skill.
Gazzu, Fat Man:
Supreme Flame Art: Devouring Ball!
A giant flaming ball forms in his right hand,
ready to crash into the Hooded Man's burning area.
But before it happens, thin string energies in a swirling form
are released from the Hooded Man's burning area.
Gazzu is hit and receives multiple wounds from the strings.
He is forced backward, his bloodied body and face hitting the ground.
Hooded Man (speaks):
You let your guard down by coming near me.
Gazzu struggles and starts to stand.
Then, the Hooded Man quickly slashes him with X-shaped string attacks,
cutting him again. He is thrown back once more, and this time,
he falls unconscious from the fatal hits.
Scene Change:
Elder Juzo (thinking, exhausted):
"I… I'm at my limit… too much blood lost, the poison has already spread…
This old body can't take it…
Wait… that boy is releasing energy? His dying body…
Ah, of course… I healed him.
But why is he releasing energy? He has a very rare disease…
(Coughs up blood)… We're almost wiped out…
If this is a miracle… I have to bet on this kid before I die…"
Elder Juzo slowly crawls toward Kyuen.
Scene Change:
Orozoel kneels, pierces by black metal small blades.
His right arm is cut and destroyed.
Hooded Man (appearing):
"The Elder has died. The clan is almost wiped out.
According to my reports, the flames are spreading fast."
Orozoel (before dying, gasping):
"Hah… haha… There wi…ll always be a born… hee…ro.
You'll face judgment! Remember my words!!!"
(Korud cuts his head.)
Scene Change:
Elder Juzo:
"Boy… you have so many broken bones… how are you able to release energy?
Study this book, which contains arts created by me…"
Juzo drags Kyuen toward a cliff, planning to throw him from a very high point
in the mountain base.
He channels his last energy from his hands into Kyuen's heart.
He also inserts his Art Book into Kyuen's clothing.
Elder Juzo:
"I've completely healed your left arm, and my last energy is now channeled into your heart.
I also put an energy barrier so you'll survive from this.
This will be enough for at least two days.
Survive at any cost. Your body is creating a miracle. Bye-bye, brat…"
Narrator:
The mountain base of the Great Luminus Clan has been completely destroyed.
Almost wiped out cause there are others that in unknown status.
Outsiders cannot see what is happening inside due to the Silent Field skill.
Two hours remain before it deactivates.
The fall of the Great Luminus Clan is complete.
Despair and Reality strikes in the next episode.
