Please remember that this is a completely amateur series.

LAYER 13: POWER

After a long struggle, Jamz awakens, sits up, and looks around confused. "What happened... Furoy, Felix, and Rosalie... were attacking Haerdon the last time i remember... Where are they..." he says, and then Felix joins the conversation. "We're here." he says. Jamz turns around and says, "Is she dead? Or did she escape? I don't remember the last moments." Rosalie speaks. "The reason you don't remember must be because the Temseral of Blood used a seal." Jamz also says to himself, "So my body isn't strong enough to use a seal..." He gets up and says, "Let's go now." The others also get up and begin walking towards the castle. After crossing the mountain, despite the miles of road, they finally arrive at the castle. The castle gate is 80 meters high. In front of it is a guard 75 meters tall, wearing a dazzling purple jewel-encrusted armor, his face hidden, wearing a crusader helmet, and wielding a giant sword. One from the Kortania council. An S-Grudged. The guard, standing like a statue, suddenly springs into action, draws his sword, and swings it. Jamz and Luna fly in one direction, Rosalie and Felix in another. In the second attack, it splits Rosalie in two, leaving her severely wounded As Felix approaches, the guard delivers the final blow without anyone even understand what is happening... "One. Gone. Three. Remains... Kill." it says with a bold, robotic voice. Before Felix proceeds the events, the Tes of Emotion enters hims chest. Felix becomes half black and half colored; protrusions sprout from his elbows, two spirals, one colored and one colorless form around him, a colorful yet colorless crown appears on his head, and in the center are the Tes of Nothingness and the Tes of Emotion. As if using the Tes of Nothingness wasn't easy, now that he's also possess the Tes of Emotion, Felix loses his mind. He begins to feel emotions, but all he feels is pure revenge. He attacks. He gets wounded, but he doesn't give up. The guard isn't fast, but even a single blow is deadly. Jamz and Luna watch carefully. Jamz starts talking. "Luna. Felix isn't thinking straight. Think. What should we do?" Luna is in shock because of Rosalie's death. "Luna, snap out of it!" Jamz shouts, shaking her. As soon as Luna comes to, she falls into Jamz's arms, trembling. (...)

LAYER 14: FUTURE

"I don't want this anymore... Everyone is dead, dying, will die! This must end!" Luna rebels. Jamz understands, doesn't shout, "I know, Luna. I know exactly how you feel." he says. He plunges his cleaver into the ground, supports Luna's chin, and makes eye contact with her. "Look into my eyes, Luna. These eyes are the eyes of someone whose hands were emptied without any fault... We've been down the same road. The only difference is, my eyes... are the eyes of someone who learned to use their hands without power, someone who filled their empty hands with their own labor... Your hands are full... You have power, I know." he says. At that moment, Jamz seems to begin to shine for Luna. Luna straightens up. She begins to speak, "Jamz... I apologize for what happened before... After everything I've been through, Eloi seemed like my savior... I became so attached to him... And when you came along, he acted like you were... I thought..." but her words are cut short. Jamz says, "The past is in the past! Let's look to the future, shall we?" and they run towards Felix. Felix falls beside them. Felix exclaims, "Perfect timing! The Seal of Love! The Power of Friendship!" and continues, "The Seal of Love raises the energy of those I love in my presence, while lowering the energy of those I don't love. Of course, there's a side effect..." Felix's colorful parts and Emotion Test completely disappear, and Felix falls to his knees. Breathless, he says, "The Seal of Nothingness: The Ruthless Unknown that Annihilates from Existence. This is a suicide, I know... But i have to do it for people believing in me... For her..." He creates a perfectly round, pitch-black orb and throws it at the guard. The guard swings it's sword at the same speed, but the orb pierces both the sword and the guard, shattering the castle gate and vanishing. The guard slowly disappears under the power of nothingness. Nothingness devours the guard like a virus, absorbing it. Just as Felix is ​​about to collapse to the ground, another S-Grudged enters the area. Felix lifts his head and sees him. (...)
