Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki - Capítulo 62

62: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 84: The King’s Shadow 62: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 84: The King’s Shadow Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 84: The King’s Shadow Maki burst into the hospital room, her breath hitching in her throat.

She pushed past Yuhima, her eyes locked onto Xyron’s still, broken form.

“Xyron!” she cried, lunging forward to embrace him.

“Maki, wait!” Yuhima pulled her back gently.

“His ribs are shattered.

Any sudden movement could kill him.” Maki froze, tears streaming down her face as she looked at his pale, scarred skin.

Xyron lay there, his mind echoing with Ryan’s taunt: ‘If you aren’t really her brother, would she still care this much?’ He watched Maki’s genuine despair, and for a split second, the doubt in his mind flickered.

Meanwhile, in the hallway, Yujo stood with a medical report, his hand trembling.

“Chairman, the scan is clear.

You have a dormant tumor in your brain that causes an automatic rage-response when you overexert yourself.

That’s what triggered the ‘Berserker’ state during the fight.” Chairman Kill Zero sighed, his face weary.

“I knew the risks.

I just didn’t expect it to cost him his life.

Take me to him, Yujo.

I will pay for every cent of the treatment.” As they entered the room, Xyron’s right eye snapped open.

He didn’t speak; he just watched Maki.

But when Maki saw the Chairman, her grief turned into pure, molten rage.

She lunged at him, grabbing his collar.

“YOU!

You did this!

Look at him!

Because of your ‘friendly fight,’ my brother is dying!” Yujo stepped forward to pull her away, but the Chairman raised a hand.

“Let her be.

She’s right.” Inside Xyron’s mind, a dark voice whispered: ‘You think you are dying, Xyron?

Fool.

You absorbed a fragment of the God-Power when you killed the entity.

That energy is currently knitting your shattered bones together.

You are alive only because of the very thing that made you strong.’ Yuhima finally pulled Maki out into the hall.

“Maki, listen to me.

He is the Chairman!

One sign from him and we all disappear.

We can’t fight him!” “I don’t care!” Maki shouted.

“Xyron’s army wouldn’t care either!” She turned to the shadows of the hospital corridor.

“Kage!

Where are you?

Bring the army here!

I want this man to pay!” Kage stepped out of the darkness, his head bowed.

“I am sorry, Maki-san.

The Lord gave a direct order: we are not to attack those who have committed no malicious intent.

The Chairman’s actions were an accident of his condition, not an assassination attempt.” Maki was speechless.

Outside the hospital, the air suddenly grew heavy.

Thousands of Shadow Guardians had manifested, silently surrounding the entire medical facility, standing in perfect formation to protect their unconscious King.

Editor’s Comment: The loyalty of the Shadow Army is absolute, but their restraint is what’s keeping Maki from starting a war.

Xyron is recovering faster than the doctors realize, thanks to the absorbed God-fragment, but his identity crisis is far from over.

With the Chairman feeling guilty and the Shadow Army guarding the building, the hospital has become the most fortified place on Earth.
