The sky above the prison had changed.
Dark clouds covered the moon, and the air felt strangely still.
Morgan stood at the center of the battlefield, staring toward the distant prison.
He slowly smiled.
Morgan: "It is done."
Dom looked toward him.
Dom: "Wonderful. Time for the last thing."
Morgan's eyes narrowed.
Morgan: "The final phase."
INSIDE THE PRISON
Deep beneath the prison, Junyu and Ton finally climbed out of the underground cave.
Junyu looked around.
Then his eyes stopped.
Inside one of the cells—
Someone was lying motionless.
Junyu's expression changed.
Junyu: "That's Mil."
He stepped closer.
His eyes widened.
Junyu: "So that's the body he was in…"
Ton didn't waste another second.
He rushed toward the cell.
BOOM!
One powerful strike shattered the cell door.
Ton grabbed Mil's body and carefully pulled him out.
Ton: "Got him."
Junyu stood silently as wind from the broken passage blew through his hair.
His hair flowed behind him.
He smiled.
Junyu: "At least we found him."
Ton lifted Mil onto his shoulder and began dragging him away.
Junyu followed.
After a few steps, he stopped.
Junyu: "Now what?"
Ton looked back.
Junyu: "How do we bring him back to his original body?"
A voice came from behind them.
Silver Woman: "We need the silver girl."
Junyu's eyes widened.
Junyu: "Oh! The witch!"
He pointed at himself proudly.
Junyu: "I get it. I am smart."
Ton slowly sighed.
Ton: "You're pretty dumb."
Junyu ignored him.
Junyu: "Let's go."
THE DEVIL HORNS CHAMBER
The two entered the chamber where the silver woman was sleeping.
Junyu walked toward the bed.
He suddenly shouted—
Junyu: "BOHH!!"
The silver woman jumped out of bed.
Silver Woman: "WHAT?!"
Junyu laughed.
Junyu: "Scared you, didn't I?"
Ton stared at him.
Ton: "He is pretty dumb."
The silver woman calmly looked at Ton.
Silver Woman: "I see more than you."
Ton paused.
Junyu pointed toward Mil.
Junyu: "Ignore that, by the way. Fix him. Bring him back to his original body."
The silver woman's expression became serious.
She walked toward Mil and examined the body.
Silver Woman: "What do you mean?"
Junyu: "Can't you just transfer him back?"
She shook her head.
Silver Woman: "I can't."
Junyu's smile disappeared.
Silver Woman: "The guard's body is almost dead. If Mil is transferred into this body now, he might not survive."
Silence.
Junyu stared at Mil.
Junyu: "Okay."
Ton immediately turned toward him.
Ton: "What do you mean, 'okay'?! Didn't you hear what she said?"
Junyu looked at him.
Junyu: "It's okay."
Ton's expression hardened.
Ton: "Junyu…"
Junyu looked back toward the unconscious guard.
Junyu: "The guard works for Organization X. He's helping them hurt innocent people."
Ton stepped closer.
Ton: "He's still a person. And he's just a guard. He probably did it for money!"
Junyu's fists slowly tightened.
Ton: "Junyu, come back to your senses."
Junyu lowered his head.
For a moment, nobody spoke.
Then—
A memory returned to Ton.
The words spoken by the Unknown Soul.
You think this is the end?
I am not a one-time thing.
I am inside Junyu forever.
I can always come back.
Ton's eyes widened.
He looked at Junyu.
Ton's thoughts:He was right.
Something is changing.
Junyu is changing.
Junyu suddenly spoke.
Junyu: "A battlefield requires these things."
Ton looked shocked.
Junyu: "We can't lose Mil."
He looked toward Mil.
Junyu: "He's one of the strongest among all of us."
Ton shook his head.
Ton: "That's not you talking."
Junyu's eyes narrowed.
Ton: "He's playing with your brain, Junyu."
Ton: "Come back to your senses!"
Junyu suddenly punched the table.
BANG!
The chamber shook.
Junyu: "I AM IN MY SENSES!"
His voice sounded deeper than before.
Ton froze.
Junyu's eyes slowly changed.
The color inside them became like raging fire.
Thin red veins appeared around his eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Ton took a step forward.
Ton: "Junyu…"
Junyu clenched his fists harder.
Then—
He closed his eyes.
He took a slow breath.
The red glow faded.
His body relaxed.
Junyu: "Come back?"
Ton stared at him.
Junyu looked down at his own hands.
His expression was no longer angry.
It was confused.
Junyu: "There is something happening with me."
Ton remained silent.
Junyu slowly looked up.
Junyu: "I feel like…"
He paused.
Junyu: "I'm not even the owner of this body anymore."
The silver woman looked at him carefully.
Then she turned toward Mil.
Silver Woman: "So… what is the plan?"
Junyu stared at Mil.
His expression hardened again.
Junyu: "Do it."
Ton's eyes widened.
Junyu: "I'll heal him with my powers."
Ton whispered to himself.
Ton: "This is bad."
THE SOUL TRANSFER
The silver woman raised both hands.
The chamber immediately changed.
The torches around the room flickered.
Then—
They went out.
Darkness swallowed the chamber.
A silver glow appeared beneath Mil.
Another circle appeared around Junyu.
The two circles slowly connected.
Wind began swirling through the room.
Junyu's hair lifted into the air.
Ton stepped backward.
Ton: "Junyu…"
Junyu looked toward him.
Junyu: "Don't worry."
But Ton could hear something strange in his voice.
The silver woman began the spell.
The air trembled.
Mil's body suddenly lifted slightly from the ground.
Junyu's eyes widened.
A stream of silver energy began moving between them.
Ton: "What's happening?!"
The silver woman struggled to maintain the spell.
Silver Woman: "The souls are transferring!"
Junyu suddenly grabbed his chest.
His eyes widened.
Junyu: "AHHHH!"
Ton panicked.
Ton: "JUNYU!"
The silver energy exploded outward.
BOOM!
The entire chamber shook.
Ton covered his face as a wave of energy rushed past him.
The silver woman's hair flew wildly behind her.
For several seconds—
There was nothing but darkness.
Then the energy slowly disappeared.
Mil's body fell back onto the bed.
Junyu dropped to one knee.
Ton rushed toward him.
Ton: "Junyu! Are you okay?!"
Junyu slowly lifted his head.
His eyes were normal again.
He looked exhausted.
Junyu: "Mil…"
Ton turned toward the bed.
Junyu: "Wake him up."
The silver woman checked Mil.
After a moment, she shook her head.
Silver Woman: "He won't wake up for a few hours."
Junyu nodded.
Junyu: "Okay. We'll leave him here."
Ton looked at him.
Ton: "What do we do now, Junyu?"
Junyu stood up.
For a moment, he said nothing.
He looked toward the dark entrance of the chamber.
The sound of distant explosions echoed through the prison.
Junyu's eyes narrowed.
Junyu: "Wait."
Ton frowned.
Ton: "For what?"
Junyu slowly smiled.
His fists tightened.
Junyu: "BATTLE!"
The atmosphere changed instantly.
Far above them, Organization X was beginning the final phase.
And deep beneath the prison—
The Devil Horns were preparing for war.
