52: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 78: The Shattered Mirror 52: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 78: The Shattered Mirror Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 78: The Shattered Mirror Xyron was sitting in a dimly lit room, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Suddenly, the door creaked open.

Hayato, his father, stepped in, his face devoid of any emotion.

In his grip was a heavy black pistol.

Without a word, Hayato raised the gun and fired.

Xyron tilted his head, the bullet whistling past his ear.

“Dad?!

Have you lost your mind?

What are you doing?!” Xyron screamed.

The next shot was a wet thud.

The bullet tore through Xyron’s shoulder, spraying blood against the wall.

Before he could recover, another round slammed into his chest, puncturing his lung.

Xyron gasped, collapsing to his knees.

Hayato walked forward, pressed the cold barrel against Xyron’s forehead, and pulled the trigger.

GASP!

Xyron’s eyes snapped open.

He was drenched in a cold sweat, sitting on a hard plastic chair in the hospital hallway.

His heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird.

He instinctively touched his shoulder and chest—no holes, no blood.

“Just a dream…

just a nightmare,” he whispered, his hands trembling.

The heavy doors to the ICU opened, and the lead doctor stepped out, removing his surgical mask.

“Mr.

Gozzaki?” Xyron stood up instantly.

“Yes?

How are they?” “Your friend is stable.

He will regain consciousness within the hour.

As for your sister, she has pullled through, but she needs absolute rest.

Her internal veins were nearly shattered.” “Thank you, doctor,” Xyron said, his voice hollow.

“Can I take them home?

I have…

high-level medical facilities at my residence.” The doctor hesitated but nodded.

“Given your status, yes.

But keep her monitored.” Xyron walked into Maki’s room.

The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound.

He sat by her bed, looking at her pale, bandaged face.

A surge of self-loathing hit him like a physical blow.

“Curse me,” he hissed under his breath.

“I’m an S-Rank Knight.

I have an army of a hundred thousand.

I have the power of a God…

and I couldn’t even protect my own sister.

I couldn’t even heal her myself.

I am a failure.” His rage turned inward.

Xyron clenched his left fist so hard that his veins bulged and turned purple.

His sharp nails dug deep into his palm, slicing through the skin.

Blood began to drip onto the hospital floor, but he didn’t feel the pain.

He deserved it.

“Xyron…?” The sound was barely a whisper.

Xyron jerked his head up.

Maki’s eyes were half-open, clouded with exhaustion but focusing on him.

He rushed to her side, his eyes welling up.

“Maki!

I’m so sorry.

Please, forgive me.

I failed you…

I should have been there.

I should have protected you,” Xyron choked out, his voice thick with tears.

Maki managed a weak, trembling smile.

“Don’t…

don’t say that.

It wasn’t your fault.

You always try your best for us.” Her eyes drifted down to his left hand.

“Xyron…

your hand.

You’re bleeding.” Xyron quickly hid his hand behind his back, forcing a calm expression.

“It’s nothing, just a scratch from the raid.

Don’t worry about me.

Let’s get you home, okay?

Everything is going to be fine now.” “But…

are you really okay?” Maki asked, her voice fading as sleep threatened to take her again.

“I’m fine, Maki,” Xyron lied, his heart breaking.

“I’ve never been better.” Editor’s Comment: The psychological toll on Xyron is becoming visible.

The nightmare about his father indicates a deep-seated trauma that even his God-level powers can’t heal.

Maki, despite being the victim, is the one comforting Xyron, showing the strength of their bond.

But Xyron’s self-harm and hidden bleeding suggest that he is heading toward a mental breakdown or a very dark path of vengeance.
