Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki - Capítulo 12

12: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 12: The Hidden Shadow 12: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 12: The Hidden Shadow Chapter 12: The Hidden Shadow The air was thick with tension as Yujo stood frozen before Xyron.

Behind his back, Yujo’s fingers twitched, and with a faint shimmer of soul energy, a jagged dagger spawned in his grip.

He prepared to strike, but before his muscles could even contract, the weight in his hand vanished.

Yujo blinked, staring at his empty palm.

He looked up, and his blood ran cold.

Xyron was standing there, casually spinning Yujo’s own dagger around his finger.

“Looking for this?” Xyron asked, his voice devoid of emotion.

“And more importantly…

why were you spying on me?” Yujo tried to regain his composure, though his heart was hammering against his ribs.

“I…

I was just fulfilling my duty to the Association.

Monitoring low-rank knights is part of the job.” “Duty?” Xyron stepped closer, the blue tint in his eyes flickering dangerously.

“Let’s be clear, Yujo.

You’re only breathing right now because you’re the Chairman’s right hand.

If I see your face behind me again, you won’t get a second chance.

You’ll be a memory.” With a flick of his wrist, Xyron tossed the dagger back.

It landed perfectly in Yujo’s hand, hilt-first.

Without another word, Xyron turned and walked away, leaving the Rank 1 knight trembling in the middle of the street.

“You…

you arrogant brat!” Yujo hissed under his breath, his face twisting in rage.

“A Rank 6 threatening me?

I’ll make sure you regret this.

No one insults me and lives!” [Xyron’s Home – Kitchen] When Xyron entered the apartment, the smell of spicy stew filled the air.

Maki was standing by the stove, wearing an apron over her school clothes.

“Oh!

Welcome back, Your Majesty!” she said sarcastically, waving a wooden spoon.

“I’ve been waiting for an hour for the ‘King of the House’ to return.

Food’s ready, come and eat.” Xyron didn’t smile.

“Maki, come to the room.

We need to talk.

Seriously.” Maki noticed the gravity in his voice and put the spoon down.

She followed him into his room, closing the door behind her.

“Okay, what is it?

You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” “I’m only going to say this once, so listen carefully,” Xyron began.

He told her everything—the dream about their father, the forbidden entry into the Jurassic Portal, the massacre of the team, and the moment his leg was severed.

He told her about Hayato appearing as a phantom and the surge of power that saved his life.

Maki stared at him, her expression blank.

“Okay…

nice story.

Can we go eat now?” Xyron sighed.

He held out his hand, and with a sharp hiss of energy, a brilliant blue dagger materialized out of thin air.

Then, he looked at a glass on the nightstand.

Without touching it, the glass began to levitate, swirling in the air before gently landing back down.

Maki’s jaw dropped.

The color drained from her face.

“What…

how?

Xyron, that’s not Rank 6 power.

That’s…

that’s impossible!” “I told you.

Dad gave me this,” Xyron said.

Maki’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

“Oh my god!

My brother is a genius!

He’s a super-knight!

Wait until I tell my friends at school, their jaws are going to—” She started for the door, but Xyron moved like a shadow, grabbing her arm and pulling her back.

His grip was firm, his eyes dark.

“Are you trying to get me killed, Maki?” Maki flinched.

“What do you mean?

I just want to brag about—” “Listen to me!” Xyron interrupted.

“If the Association or the Chairman find out that a Rank 6 knight suddenly has S-Rank powers, they won’t celebrate.

They’ll be terrified.

They’ll hunt me down, lock me in a lab, or kill me to keep the balance.

Every ‘glitched’ knight in history who grew too fast has disappeared.

If you tell anyone…

I won’t be coming home again.” The excitement in Maki’s eyes died instantly, replaced by a cold realization of the world they lived in.

She nodded slowly, her voice trembling.

“I…

I understand.

I won’t tell a soul.

I promise.” Editor’s Comment: The secret is out, but only within the family.

Xyron has successfully intimidated a Rank 1 knight and made his sister realize the life-or-death stakes of his new power.

But Yujo’s pride is wounded, and a wounded predator is the most dangerous kind.

As Xyron hides his true strength, how long can he keep the ‘Shadow’ inside him from screaming for more?
