Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki

Chapter 95: The Shadow of the Traitor

Xyron walked through the smoldering remains of the village building. Amidst the debris, he spotted several survivors clawing their way out from beneath the rubble. “Guardians, move in! Save them!” Xyron commanded.

As his shadow stretched, dozens of elite Shadow Guardians emerged, lifting slabs of concrete and pulling the trapped civilians to safety. Xyron watched them, his brow furrowed. ‘If Yujo isn’t here, and this isn’t a Titan attack… did he betray the Chairman for the seat of power?’

[The Dark Laboratory]

Miles away, in a room buried deep underground, the atmosphere was suffocating. A figure sat on a high-backed chair, draped in black robes with a deep hood and a chilling porcelain mask. Standing before him, trembling, was Yujo.

“You failed,” the robed figure hissed, his voice echoing like grinding metal. “I ordered you to wipe out the building. The Chairman was supposed to be dead!”

Yujo kept his head bowed. “My Lord, the entire structure collapsed. I am certain he couldn’t have survived… yet, he did.” Yujo pulled a USB drive from his pocket, his hand shaking as he plugged it into a monitor.

The screen flickered to life, showing the grainy footage of the village raid. The hooded figure watched, frozen, as the footage showed Xyron Gozzaki teleporting in and extracting the Chairman at the last possible second.

“That knight…” the hooded figure murmured, leaning closer to the screen. “I have seen him before. Who is he?”

“His name is Xyron Gozzaki,” Yujo replied. “He is the new S-Rank from the Wonders Guild.”

“Capture him,” the figure commanded. “But bring him to me alive. I want to see what he’s truly made of.”

As the hooded figure stared at Xyron’s face on the screen, a memory flashed through his mind—a dark dungeon inside a Rank-4 portal, years ago. He remembered a younger, bloodied Xyron, fighting off a monster that had backstabbed him.

‘That face… that intensity,’ the hooded figure thought, his heart racing beneath the robe. ‘It’s him. My old best friend. But he’s changed so much… he’s become a monster of a knight.’

Editor’s Comment:

The plot twist of the century: The leader of this shadow organization, the man who ordered the Chairman’s assassination, is actually Xyron’s former best friend—the one Xyron thought was lost or dead. The fact that he wants Xyron captured alive suggests a twisted reunion is in the works. Xyron is walking into a trap set by someone who knows his every move, his every strength, and his every weakness.
