**Benjamin & Clard:** "LOOK BEHIND YOU!"
The warning came too late.
Benjamin's runes ignited at once—
His entire body glowing like a living magic circle.
**Clard:** "WHY ARE YOU GLOWING LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE?!?"
Benjamin ignored him and slammed his hand forward.
**Benjamin:** "*7th Circle Magic: Time-Slip Barri—*"
But before the spell completed—
Blood sprayed from his mouth and nose.
Clard and Ivan froze.
But the blood wasn't from Ivan.
Sil'Varion had stabbed **himself**, tearing out his own hearts—
All of them.
**Sil'Varion:** "Ahhh… I offer… my hearts… to the beings above…"
His grin did not falter once.
The ground darkened.
Shadows swallowed the sky.
**Sil'Varion:** "Sin Manifestation… *Armageddon Form.*"
His body twisted into a grotesque mass—
Multiple faces.
Arms branching like tree limbs.
Legs bent backwards.
A nightmare of every ability he had ever copied.
**Sil'Varion:** "You… forced me… into THIS…"
All his mouths stretched into a single, sinister smile.
**Benjamin, Clard & Ivan:**
"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL—?!"
The monster surged toward them.
**Benjamin:** "FUCK—SCATTER! KILL THIS MOTHERFUCKER!!"
**Ivan:** "I ALMOST DIED TEN TIMES BUT OKAY!!"
**Clard:** "WHY IS THERE A DEMON KAIJU HERE?!"
They circled the abomination.
Benjamin gathered the last of his strength.
**Benjamin:** "5th Circle Magic: *GRAVITY CRUSH — Modified!*"
The ground ruptured beneath Sil'Varion—
A crater forming, pressure collapsing inward—
Sil'Varion didn't even kneel.
**Sil'Varion:** "Only… high-tier spells… can harm me now. AND I STILL WANT YOUR POWER."
Benjamin's vision blurred.
The "Brain Overload" hit him like a truck.
He collapsed to his knees.
**Ivan:** "BENJAMIN?! CLARD, COVER HIM— I'LL PROTECT HIM!"
**Clard:** "ALRIGHT— 4th Circle Magic: Adrenaline Sur—"
A shadow appeared behind him.
Sil'Varion's massive jaws opened.
**Ivan:** "HELL NAH— *7th Circle Magic: Perfect Illu—*"
Benjamin weakly grabbed Ivan's wrist.
**Benjamin:** "No… let me…"
He raised one trembling hand.
A small, compressed ball of chaotic flame spun into existence.
**Benjamin:** "Fireball."
He flicked it.
**BOOM.**
The explosion tore one of Sil'Varion's faces apart.
Ivan teleported Clard away just in time.
Sil'Varion staggered, clutching his burned visage.
**Sil'Varion:** "Ahhhh… IT… HURTS…! HOW?!"
Benjamin collapsed completely, unconscious.
**Ivan:** "MAIN PROTAGONIST, GET UP!! WE NEED YOU!!"
**Clard:** "OUR SAVIOR IS DEAD!!"
**Ivan:** "…When did you get behind me?"
**Clard:** "I don't know."
Sil'Varion charged again—
A wave of claws and teeth closing in—
A burst of divine light tore the monster apart mid-movement.
A woman stepped out of the radiant explosion.
**Uzakia.**
Her hair blew like cosmic flame.
**Uzakia:** "10th Circle Magic: *Origin Nova.*"
The entire battlefield evaporated.
When the light faded, Sil'Varion was nothing more than dust in the wind.
Uzakia floated down, landing beside the three idiots.
**Uzakia:** "You three… did well. Now sleep."
**Ivan & Clard:** "Wait—wha—?"
**Uzakia:** *4th Circle Magic: Sleep Paralysis.*
They dropped instantly, snoring next to Benjamin.
Uzakia exhaled weakly.
Her knees buckled.
**Uzakia:** "Ugh… damn it… this law really is absolute…"
She fell beside them, exhausted—
And the four lay unconscious together on the ruined battlefield.
