The Author's POV

The world was shrouded in melancholy as ashy gray clouds filled the sky.

WIIIIIING!

A dazzling light burst forth in the middle of the vacant space and quickly spread everywhere. The gloomy clouds then parted under a terrible pressure that stretched toward the entire world.

A human figure with distinct facial characteristics was visible within the illumination. The air vibrated as a result of the pressure the figure was emitting.

Whoever the figure was, they were an absolute master.

Soon enough the brightness diminished and the human form within the brilliant light became more and more distinct. A black-clad male with two crimson-colored eyes finally emerged in the air as the light dimmed completely.

Taking a step back, the crimson-eyed figure looked towards the horizon with an uncharacteristically serious expression.

Riiip—!

It was then that a hand suddenly stretched out of thin air, grasping the sky, and tearing it apart as though it was tangible.

White hair, red-blood eyes, and fair skin...

Out of the darkness came a figure that appeared human. He appeared to be rather ordinary, but only someone with strength approaching the boundaries of the human limit could realize what a miserable existence he actually led. The power hidden in this weak looking body could wipe out the planet with a single wave of his palm. It was horrible.

Devastation was what the white-haired figure saw as he floated in the sky and cast a detached gaze downward. A world now on the point of extinction.

A smile formed on his face.

Then, lowering his head and staring at the crimson-eyed male below him, the white-haired individual's eyes rippled slightly.

The crimson-colored eyed male, Kevin, stared back, and silence enveloped the world.

While neither of the two figures spoke, a great deal of energy erupted from their respective bodies before they silently collided.

Everything below them crumbled as a powerful wave from their collision fanned out.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, Kevin opened his mouth.

"Jezebeth."

His soft voice traveled through every corner of the world. Yet, deep-seated hatred could be felt in his voice as he spoke.

Staring at Kevin below, Jezebeth closed his eyes slightly before the smile on his face deepened ever so slightly.

"How have you been? It's been a while since we've last seen each other."

"..."

Kevin didn't say anything in response; instead, the red hue surrounding his body became more intense.

The sword in his hand glowed in a majestic color and the world around him shook fiercely.

In spite of that, Jezebeth showed no change in his expression. Rather, he seemed even more relaxed as he watched Kevin glare in his direction.

"...You should already know by now that your efforts are futile, right?"

His words echoed throughout the globe.

Kevin's expression sank.
