Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki - Capítulo 16

16: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 16: The Death of Mercy 16: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 16: The Death of Mercy Chapter 16: The Death of Mercy Xyron lay slumped against the jagged rock, blood matting his hair and dripping from his lips.

His vision was blurry, but he could see Kim looking down at his trembling hands.

‘Did I do the right thing?’ Kim thought, his heart heavy with guilt.

‘He saved my life…

but I had to protect my brother.

He was going to kill Chul.’ Chul, clutching the bloody stump of his arm, let out a jagged laugh.

He turned toward Kim, his eyes filled with a cruel light.

“You did well, Kim.

A very good job.” “Brother…

are you okay?” Kim asked, stepping toward him.

SLAP!

The force of the blow sent Kim spinning to the ground, blood blooming on his cheek.

He looked up, shocked and betrayed.

“I don’t need you anymore, you pathetic weakling,” Chul spat, stepping over Kim’s body toward the unconscious Xyron.

“Did this brat really think he was stronger than me?

I am a Rank 2 Captain.

He’s nothing but a fluke.” Inside the dark void of Xyron’s mind, he was listening.

He wasn’t dead.

He was evolving.

‘That was my mistake,’ Xyron’s inner voice echoed.

‘Trusting a kid.

Showing mercy.

I forgot the most important rule of this world: Kindness has no value.

Intentions don’t matter.

Only power does.

People don’t judge you by your heart; they judge you by the strength of your blade.

I need to get up.

I need to be powerful.

I will become the most powerful.’ In the shadows of his soul, Ryon leaned back on his throne, a sinister smirk on his face.

“Finally,” Ryon whispered.

“My brother is starting to understand how this world really works.” Suddenly, Xyron’s eyes snapped open.

There was no gradual awakening.

In a flash of blue light, the hole in his chest closed.

The crack in his skull fused back together.

The blood on his face evaporated into soul energy.

Xyron stood up, his presence so heavy it felt like the gravity in the cave had doubled.

Chul’s smile vanished.

“S-Still alive?!

Fine!

Die for real this time!” He threw a desperate, energy-infused punch at Xyron’s face.

Xyron didn’t dodge.

He simply raised his hand and caught the punch in mid-air.

The sound of Chul’s knuckles shattering echoed through the cave.

“My turn,” Xyron said coldly.

He buried his fist into Chul’s stomach.

Chul coughed out a fountain of blood, his lungs collapsing.

Xyron didn’t stop.

He spawned his soul-dagger and plunged it deep into Chul’s gut.

Chul fell to his knees, his face pale with the realization of death.

“Please…

let me go…

I’ll give you everything…

money, stones…

please…” Xyron looked at him with eyes that held no pity.

“Mercy is a luxury I can no longer afford.” With one clean, brutal swipe, Xyron severed Chul’s head.

The Captain was dead.

Xyron turned his gaze toward Kim, who was shaking on the floor, paralyzed by fear.

Xyron walked over, the tip of his bloody dagger trailing in the dirt.

He stopped in front of Kim and placed the blade against the boy’s throat.

“I’m sorry…

I’m so sorry, Xyron!” Kim sobbed, looking up at the monster he had helped create.

Xyron didn’t respond with anger.

He just looked at him and gave a slow, terrifying smile.

[Xyron’s Apartment – Night] Maki was pacing the living room, her eyes constantly darting to the clock.

It was late.

The city outside was quiet, but her mind was loud with worry.

“He’s never been this late,” she whispered, clutching her hands together.

“He doesn’t even have a phone.

What if something happened in the portal?

What if…

no.

He’s strong.

He has to be okay.” She looked out the window, praying for the sound of a key in the door.

Editor’s Comment: The ‘Weakest Knight’ is gone.

In his place stands a man who has learned the hardest lesson of life: Trust is a weakness.

Xyron has executed Chul, but what will he do with Kim?

And as Maki waits at home, she has no idea that the brother returning to her might not be the same Xyron who left this morning.
