He ran in the direction the tank had gone.

He could easily follow their tracks from the tank’s treads.

Soon he heard the sounds of battle, and through the underbrush, he could see the wall of the harbor.

Suddenly, he broke through the last bushes and stood at the edge of the grassy plain where he had briefly fought Koru before.

Now, however, the tank was right in front of the wall, preparing to shoot another hole into it. Koru was standing directly in front of them, barely able to stay on his feet.

Just before the tank fired, Koru created a hill under it, lifting the tank so that the shot missed the wall and the harbor.

Kuro then made the hill disappear, and Koru collapsed to the ground.

"Looks like you're finally at your end! But just to make sure," Kuro shouted, aiming the tank at his brother.

"This is it then... 'Brother'."

BOOM!

He missed Koru.

Kawao had just managed to push him out of the line of fire and deflect the shot.

"Kawao? How is this possible? You were..." Koru began.

"Yeah, I know! It's not important now. I have one last idea!"

"Hm?"

"Can you amplify the energy I absorb with my Nyd?"

"... I don't know!"

"Let's try it! This is our very last chance! If we fail now, it’s all over!"

"... Okay! Let's do it!"

Kawao took a deep breath and began to gather energy.

He concentrated it entirely into his right fist.

He charged at the tank, which was aiming at them again.

But instead of dodging, he held his fist into the barrel.

"NOW!" he shouted, and suddenly, he felt an immense amount of energy surge into his fist.

It felt like it was going to tear him apart, and he knew he couldn’t hold it for long.

Then the tank fired.

The moment the shot hit Kawao's fist, he released all the energy at once.

A massive explosion shook the harbor of Isulon.

Kawao was thrown against the wall with great force, rendering him unconscious instantly.

,Did we do it? If I wake up, I’ll know.´

Then he blacked out.

"Sigh. And I just told him to take better care of his body... What a great host I've chosen!"
