Jin Hwa couldn't believe that Seok Jun was using his underlings as a source of energy. He thought, "What is he doing? Using his underlings as energy? This dirty...!"
Jin Hwa had no choice but to summon his glaive. As Seok Jun sapped his underlings' power, Jin Hwa charged at him. Seok Jun easily deflected the glaive and taunted Jin Hwa, saying, "Too late, you wimp. I've already regained my strength," and he laughed confidently.
However, Jin Hwa remained unfazed but was filled with anger. He activated the skill "Drain," causing the glaive to change color to pitch black and emanate an unsettling aura. He charged at Seok Jun again, and Seok Jun defended successfully. But as Jin Hwa continued his relentless attacks, Seok Jun began to feel weak once more. Each slash from Jin Hwa became more violent with each passing moment.
As Seok Jun wondered why he was feeling weak once more, he had no choice but to keep his distance from Jin Hwa. The two exchanged defiant glares and charged at each other once again. Seok Jun launched a heavy jab, but Jin Hwa used the blunt side of the glaive to target Seok Jun's stomach, causing him to vomit.
With Seok Jun in a weakened state, Jin Hwa asked if he wanted to continue, but Seok Jun didn't reply. Instead, he charged at Jin Hwa once more. The fight raged on, with Jin Hwa clearly having the upper hand. But just as the battle intensified, the sky above the rooftop turned dark once again.
As the sky turned black, a strike of dark smoke hit Seok Jun. Jin Hwa kept his distance from Seok Jun, trying to comprehend what had just occurred. Something was clearly different about Seok Jun. His aura and voice had changed, and his eyes were pitch black with only a small, purple light.
The transformed Seok Jun remarked, "So, this is what it feels like to have a physical form again. It seems like this body is doing its mission quite well." Jin Hwa, bewildered, asked, "Who are you?"
The transformed Seok Jun simply replied, "Hades," and charged at Jin Hwa.
The rooftop battlefield had become a scene of chaos and confrontation. Hades, who had taken possession of Seok Jun's body, relentlessly fought Jin Hwa, their blows and strikes resonating with incredible force. Jin Hwa wielded his glaive with expert precision, defending himself against the relentless attacks. The battle had raged on for over an hour, and both combatants showed no signs of exhaustion.
Amid the fierce clash of punches and glaive strikes, an unexpected twist occurred. A bolt of lightning struck the rooftop ground, creating a brilliant flash of light and a deafening roar. It left the two momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, a commanding voice echoed through the area, resonating with supreme authority, "Hades! Stop this mindless action and return to your world!"
Jin Hwa, bewildered by the sudden turn of events, lowered his glaive and watched as Hades, in control of Seok Jun's body, stopped his onslaught. He stepped back, keeping a safe distance from Jin Hwa. His eyes, glowing with an eerie purple light, displayed a mixture of defiance and annoyance.
"Tsk, things were just getting interesting," Hades muttered under his breath, "but if my brother insists."
In a swift and powerful display of dark energy, Hades retreated, leaving Seok Jun's body sprawled on the rooftop. The eerie atmosphere began to dissipate as the skies cleared once again, returning to normalcy.
