Your army's gone. You're empty. What can you possibly do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack kept his head bowed, shoulders trembling… until a low chuckle escaped his lips. Slowly, he raised a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not alone,\" he said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shadow rippling beneath him, a figure began to rise—cloaked in a tattered black robe, a single eye glaring from behind a jagged eye patch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember me?\" the man rasped, and Grey's eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You?!\" Grey exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that?\" Sol asked, chest heaving with exhaustion. Her mana reserves had dwindled to a perilous three percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you still alive?\" Jay demanded, stepping forward in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\" Scarlet added sharply. \"We killed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait… You all know who this is?\" Selene asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A few months back,\" Greg explained, \"we were assigned to investigate a bandit-infested town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's where we fought him. It was a brutal battle, and Jay landed the final blow. We thought he was dead—but maybe… he wasn't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're right,\" the man replied with a bitter grin. \"I was hanging by a thread… until the boss saved me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey's eyes narrowed as recognition sparked. \"Now I get it. That emblem…\" He pointed at the insignia on Jack's robe. \"You joined the Eclipse Pact, didn't you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack glanced at his attire but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that what you're focused on right now?\" Charlotte snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, yes,\" Grey replied. \"Throughout the fight, the reason why I haven't killed him was that I was trying hard to remember where I had seen that emblem from and now I know. So shall we wrap this up quickly?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind began swirling around him like a living thing, sharp and ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, we shall,\" the robed man said with a wicked grin as thick mist began seeping from his body, cloaking the battlefield in a heavy fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mist magic?\" Dante scoffed. \"He's just a support, then. Useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be so quick to judge,\" Grey warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, fifty gleaming ice shards materialized around them, all aimed at their vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So he's packing Ice Magic too?\" Sol muttered, arcane runes glowing faintly around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shards launched with terrifying speed—but Arthur stepped forward, slamming his palms together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A translucent, shimmering barrier expanded outward, enclosing the group. The shards struck, clinking and crackling—but failed to leave a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surprised?\" Arthur grinned, his voice strained but defiant. \"Last time, I was weak. But I found something that amplified my magic. I'm not out yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough talking!\" Jack snapped, waving his hand as the ice mage conjured twenty ice swords in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selene's fingers danced subtly behind the squad, her eyes locked onto the ice mage. As he released the shards, they veered off course and slammed harmlessly into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell was that?\" Jack growled. \"Can't you aim properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you wanted them dead so bad, maybe you should do it yourself,\" the mage shot back. Another volley of ten shards flew, only to be diverted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't, idiot! I've got no mana left—I've been fighting nonstop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then stop rushing me!\" the mage barked, launching ten more ice swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack scoffed. \"I didn't even like you from the moment when they brought me in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feeling's mutual,\" the mage snapped, his eyes scanning for interference. They locked on Selene, hands weaving strange signs. He looked down—his shadow writhed unnaturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shadow Magic… so that's your trick.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hiss, he summoned an enormous ice snake, launching it at breakneck speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crashed into Arthur's shield before Selene could redirect it. The barrier cracked. Arthur staggered, coughing blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drop the shield,\" Grey ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackling lightning formed around his arms, twisting into glowing gauntlets etched with runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur obeyed. The bubble vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time for payback,\" Grey said—and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—how is he faster than before?!\" the ice mage gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand frantically, fog wrapping around himself and Jack like a shroud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He can't find me in this…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crackle of lightning burst through the mist—Grey reappeared, his aura surging with electric fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can sense mana, you fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage barely conjured a shield before Grey's punch shattered it like glass. Ice shards exploded everywhere—one even slicing Grey's cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage skidded across the ground, blood trailing from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed behind Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've had enough of you,\" Jack snarled, his cursed black hand aiming for Grey's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no resistance—Grey had already moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted Viktor to take his revenge… but now I'll show you how it's done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind exploded outward from Grey's body, a roaring tempest that blasted Jack out of the fog. The dense mist thinned momentarily as Jack tumbled across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\" the ice mage screamed in panic. Grey was far more powerful than their last encounter. Desperate, he hurled an ice arrow at blinding speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He caught the arrow between two fingers and stared at it before snapping it clean in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two lightning arrows screamed from his hand, slamming into the mage. The force lifted him off the ground and flung him into unconsciousness, the fog finally vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that's how you deal with delusional fools,\" Grey said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—they felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From atop the unconscious bodies stood a man—smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, students of Lunaria,\" he greeted. \"I'm Daze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That aura… it's him. The same presence I felt from the old man in the village months ago.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded as he took an involuntary step back. 'Who is he? What is he? This… this man is on a level I can't touch.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. I'm not here to kill you—not yet,\" Daze said casually. \"Those two acted without my permission, and clearly, they lost. Miserably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows coiled at his feet as Jack and the ice mage were dragged into them like dolls into quicksand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" came a raw, thunderous scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viktor was awake—standing—while Vanica lay collapsed beside him, utterly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"BRING HIM BACK! I need my revenge—NOW!\" Viktor bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very air trembled under his rage. Pressure surged, forcing the first-years to their knees. Even Grey struggled to stay upright. But Daze didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You had your chance… and you lost,\" Daze said as he slowly sank into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Live with that,\" he added. \"And know—I will return. Not just to end you… but to burn your academy and kingdom to the ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{A\u002FN}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loving the story so far?
