Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki

Chapter 73: The Devil’s Bargain

The moon hung low over a silent graveyard. Xyron sat cross-legged in front of a weathered headstone—his mother’s grave. The cold stone didn’t bother him; his heart was colder.

“Mom,” Xyron whispered, his voice cracking. “I will take my revenge. Lucifer will die by my hands. I won’t let your sacrifice be in vain.”

[Flashback: The Day of the Massacre] Ten years ago, the Gozzaki Clan was a sea of blood. After slaughtering everyone, Lucifer had walked toward the room where a young Xyron and Maki were hiding. But before he could reach them, their mother stepped into the hallway, blocking his path. She begged him to stop, to remember his humanity. Lucifer didn’t even blink. He drove his hand through her heart, killing the woman who gave him life, just to reach his siblings.

[Flashback Ends]

High above Earth, in the cold vacuum of space, Lucifer sat upon a throne of dark energy. He raised his hand, and a small, shadowy part of his soul broke off—a Fragment. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the fragment hurtling toward Earth like a black meteor.

[Kim’s New House]

Kim was sitting in the dark, staring at a photo of Rin, when the air in the room turned freezing. A tall, ethereal figure emerged from the shadows. It looked like a man, but its eyes were bottomless pits of darkness.

“Who are you?!” Kim demanded, spawning a dagger.

“I am someone who can give you back what you lost,” the Fragment hissed. “I can revive Rin.”

Kim froze. His heart hammered against his ribs. “What did you say? Stop lying!”

The Fragment looked at Kim’s pet dog sleeping in the corner. With a snap of its fingers, the dog’s heart stopped. Kim gasped, but before he could scream, the Fragment snapped again. The dog jumped up, wagging its tail, completely alive.

“I can do the same for her,” the Fragment smiled, a twisted, demonic grin. “But you must do something for me first.”

Kim’s eyes wavered. The grief was too heavy, and the temptation was too strong. “What… what do you want?”

[Xyron’s Old House]

Maki wiped the sweat from her forehead. The packing was finally done. “Ugh, where is Xyron? Does signing house papers really take this long?”

Suddenly, her phone buzzed. It was Xyron. “Maki, I’m already at the new mansion. Call Ignis. Tell him to bring you and all the furniture here.”

“Are you serious?!” Maki yelled. “Ignis is a Dragon Guardian, not a moving truck!”

“Just do it,” Xyron laughed and hung up.

Maki sighed and called out. Within seconds, Ignis descended from the clouds, landing in the backyard. Maki climbed onto his back and pointed at the massive piles of furniture and boxes. “Sorry, Ignis. He told me you have to carry this too.”

Minutes later, people in the city looked up in shock. Flying through the air was a majestic red dragon. On its back sat a girl, and clutched in its massive talons were sofas, a dining table, and several beds.

Editor’s Comment: The plot thickens with a deadly twist. Lucifer has sent a fragment to Earth, and it has found the perfect target: a grieving Kim. By offering to revive Rin, Lucifer is turning Xyron’s best friend into a potential traitor. Meanwhile, the lighthearted scene of Ignis moving furniture provides a calm before the storm. Xyron is preparing for a new life in a new mansion, but he has no idea that the greatest threat is currently sitting in Kim’s living room.
