Chapter 49: Divide and Conquer

Xyron looked at Wang Rise, his expression firm. “One thing, Wang. Don’t tell anyone about our friendship. Not the Chairman, not the media.”

The Right Hand translated, and Wang raised an eyebrow. “But why? Being a friend of an X-Rank knight would make your life much easier.”

“Because I’m already an S-Rank, and the fame is driving Maki crazy,” Xyron sighed. “Reporters are always outside our house. I don’t want more eyes on us. Especially not from people who would use our connection against me.”

Wang Rise nodded. “Fair enough. But Xyron… don’t go into this portal. I can feel it. I don’t think any of these S-Ranks are coming back alive.”

Xyron looked back at Yuhima, who was watching them curiously. “I have to. I’m here now, and I can’t leave my friend behind. Besides, I need to test exactly what I’m capable of.”

“Suit yourself,” Wang smirked. “Just don’t die on me.”

[Inside the X-Rank Portal]

As the 27 knights stepped through the shimmering veil, a massive blue holographic screen flickered to life in front of them.

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: Welcome to your Death Place. In this zone, the following are DISABLED:

Spawn Magic & Summons

Teleportation Abilities

Healing Potions & Healing Magic Good luck. You’ll need it.

The knights shifted uncomfortably, but their leader—a veteran S-Rank—pushed forward. They reached a massive cavern where the path split into 13 different tunnels.

“Listen up!” the veteran shouted. “We’ll split into pairs. One tunnel each. If anyone finds the Boss Room, use these.” He handed out specialized earpieces. “These don’t use voice; they send a soul-energy signal. If you find the Boss, trigger the signal, and we all converge.”

Xyron and Yuhima paired up naturally and entered the eleventh tunnel.

[Scene Shift: New Delhi, India]

While the world’s eyes were on the China-Pakistan border, another S-Rank Gate had appeared in India. Standing at the entrance was a man wrapped in a dark cloak, his presence radiating a quiet but terrifying power.

“Thank you for coming, Mr. L,” the Indian Chairman said, bowing deeply. “We currently have no X-Rank knights available to handle this. Your help is a blessing.”

“Don’t mention it,” Mr. L replied, his voice calm. “My friend Wang Rise is handling the border portal, so I decided to help our neighbors. An X-Rank threat anywhere is a threat everywhere.” Without another word, Pakistan’s strongest knight stepped into the Indian gate.

[Back to the X-Rank Portal]

Xyron and Yuhima reached a fork inside their tunnel. Two more paths stretched out before them.

“Two more?” Yuhima whispered, her hand on her dagger. “We should stick together. We’ll check the left one first, then the right.”

“No,” Xyron said, his purple eyes glowing slightly in the dark. “That wastes too much time. You take the left. I’ll take the right. We’re S-Ranks; we can handle a few minutes alone.”

Yuhima hesitated but eventually nodded, disappearing into the left tunnel. Xyron immediately headed right.

“Heh,” Ryan’s voice echoed in his head. “You’re a bold one, Xyron. I have to admit, when I saw that Wang guy, even I felt a chill. His soul energy is on another level. But you… you’re walking straight into the fire, aren’t you?”

Xyron didn’t slow down. “You sensed it too, didn’t you?”

“Of course,” Ryan laughed darkly. “The right path. The heavy air. The smell of old blood. You’re heading straight for the Boss Room on purpose.”

“If you already know,” Xyron muttered, “then stop talking and get ready. I’m going to need every bit of your power for what’s behind that door.”

Editor’s Comment:

The stage is set! Xyron has intentionally separated himself from Yuhima to face the X-Rank Boss alone, likely to hide his true power from the other knights. Meanwhile, the mysterious Mr. L is showing his power in India. Is there a connection between all these Gozzaki-level threats appearing at once? Xyron is about to face a monster that 27 S-Ranks couldn’t dream of defeating.
