The endless void of Jailen was silent—too silent.
Raizo sat in the darkness, his wrists and ankles bound by cursed chains, glowing with an eerie red light. His body was weakened, but his mind? Sharper than ever.
Across from him stood Zenmu, the most powerful being to ever exist—yet, for the first time in history, he was trapped.
Raizo turned to him, his golden eyes flickering.
"We need a way out."
Zenmu exhaled, scanning the infinite prison.
"There is only one."
----------------------------------------
THE IMPOSSIBLE PLAN
Jailen was not just a prison—it was a living entity.
A space between dimensions where time and magic were nearly nonexistent.
Escaping was impossible… unless someone outside created an opening.
Zenmu’s eyes gleamed.
"Ryuketsu made one mistake."
Raizo smirked. "Let me guess—he didn't seal us together on purpose?"
Zenmu nodded.
"Ryuketsu feared me, so he placed extra restraints on my body. But in doing so… he unknowingly gave us a loophole."
"If we combine our energy, we can create a crack in Jailen’s barrier."
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Raizo cracked his knuckles.
"Let’s do it."
----------------------------------------
THE BATTLE OUTSIDE – RENZAI & UZARO VS. THE MONSTERS
Meanwhile, in the real world, Uzaro and Renzai were locked in an intense battle.
The streets of Earth were overrun with Ryuketsu’s cursed creatures—massive beasts with twisted forms and glowing red eyes.
Uzaro spun his twin blades, slicing through the waves of monsters, his black and white aura clashing against their darkness.
Renzai, his hands crackling with cursed energy, unleashed a devastating energy wave, sending multiple beasts flying.
"These things just keep coming!" Uzaro shouted, panting.
"We hold our ground," Renzai said, clenching his fists. "Raizo will return. I know it."
But then, the sky turned black.
The air grew heavy.
Something… was coming.
----------------------------------------
INSIDE JAILEN – THE POWER OF THE UNBREAKABLE
Back in Jailen, Zenmu and Raizo stood side by side.
"On my mark," Zenmu said.
"I’ll pour all my remaining power into the barrier. You use your Infinity Defense to redirect the force outward."
Raizo nodded.
Both warriors closed their eyes.
Zenmu’s aura flared—a massive golden energy exploding from his body.
Raizo’s power twisted around it, condensing it into an unstoppable force.
"NOW!"
The entire realm of Jailen shook violently.
A crack formed in the prison’s sky.
And then—
BOOM!
The barrier shattered.
Raizo and Zenmu vanished in an instant, teleporting back into the real world.
----------------------------------------
THE ARRIVAL OF LEGENDS
Just as Uzaro and Renzai were about to be overwhelmed by monsters, a blinding golden light erupted in the sky.
A portal tore open, and two figures emerged.
Raizo landed first, his aura burning with renewed strength.
Zenmu followed, his energy shaking the very ground.
Uzaro’s eyes widened. "Raizo?!"
Raizo smirked, cracking his neck.
"Miss me?"
Zenmu raised his hand, and with a mere gesture, half the monsters vanished into nothingness.
Ryuketsu, watching from the shadows, clenched his fists.
"So… they escaped."
The battle for the world was far from over.
