Kal strangely looks at Adonis and says: "You ask me who I am? Well, they asked me the same question the first time I was here, and the answer I gave was devastating for all of them, but this time I don't think it will be like that!".
Adonis gets scared because he hadn't said anything out loud, just in thought "He can read my thoughts" thought Adonis. However, Kal turns to Krekk again and putting his hand on his own neck says: "Not even my true voice can I use, I'm using the boy's voice!"
He then realizes that Kal's body was all wounded due to Krekk's attacks.
"What an unpleasant thing, even though I feel no pain, this vision still bothers me" said Kal walking towards his friends.
He walked between everyone who was still paralyzed and shocked by the pressure that this Kal exerted throughout the arena, there was silence and so any word said by Kal, even in the lowest tone possible, was heard throughout the arena. Kal then walked through all of them and directed himself at Adonis.
"You have the greatest magical power among all here, unfortunately this fraction of power belonging to me is not able to use healing magic, so I need you to heal this body!" said Kal in front of Adonis.
Adonis was paralyzed and couldn't say anything, but Kal touched his shoulder.
"Come on, don't be shy, I know you know me a little better than all of them, I also saw you Adonis!" said Kal.
Adonis remembered Kal's sanctuary and taking a reality shock he slaps his own face twice and still without saying anything, conjures a healing magic that returns Kal's body to what it was before.
"Thank you, that vision was disgusting me!". said Kal
He then turned and walked again, now towards Krekk, who was holding his shoulder, because there was no arm there anymore.
"How did he rip off my arm? I couldn't see anything, moreover it's not bleeding, it's as if he had cauterized the wound, what monstrosity is before me?" thought Krekk.
"I don't remember all the details of when they awakened me the first time, but I remember that I had a little more power, I don't know what happened to this body, I feel that my connection was cut!" Then Kal positioned himself before the great werewolf man and looked towards where Hwin was with all the fingers, they were all still in a state of shock paralyzed and oppressed by the great pressure that fell over that arena.
"What a ridiculous spectacle you put on here, you brought them here, created a script to make them dance, but you couldn't account for someone like Kal, could you!" said Kal looking at Hwin. Up there, the mercenary looked into Kal's golden eyes that emanated such a powerful glow that Hwin felt his soul laid bare before him, he felt he no longer had any secrets and that the splendor of those eyes would oppose everything he had done his whole life, Hwin felt before those eyes nothing else mattered and so he turned his face away, fearing to look again into those eyes.
"It seems you prepared for everything after all, but I'll tell you one thing to all of you here, you may be prepared for the heavens to open and from there descends a horde of demons, you may be prepared if all were thrown into the sun, you may be prepared for all the volcanoes on earth to erupt, you can prepare for any cataclysmic or divine event, but even so, you will never be prepared for these eyes!" said Kal causing a terrible and majestic chill to rise up the columns of all who were there.
"You want to hide in the caves of rocks and in holes made in the earth, because of the terror that comes from these eyes, you want to flee or cry, because of the splendor of their majesty, but know that if it pleases us, we can make the earth tremble, make the heavens open, make the volcanoes erupt, for despite resting in this small one, we are beyond. You asked what I am?" Suddenly the pressure began to increase and everything changed, the voice that was once Kal's was now similar to thunder that tore the sky, and this voice said:
"I am the foundations of this earth, I am the root of the tree of the world, I am the first light and am the last darkness, I am magic and spirit, I am order and chaos, before me no light shines brighter and no darkness remains immaculate, I am what I want to be, god or man, without me time would not exist and the universe would implode, I am the pillar of everything and creator of gods, I have no name and am not known to men."
The fear that was already gigantic intensified many times over after Kal's words. Then he put his hand to his throat again and with Kal's voice back said: "Well, it seems I can still use a little of my power!"
Sahara then, gathering all her courage, walked towards Kal "Kal, where is Kal?" she asked. "Kal is dead girl, you saw what the werewolf did to him!" Kal responded. Sahara kept walking towards Kal, even trembling and weak, she got so close to Kal she was able to place her hands on his face.
"He's still in there, I can still feel his spirit!" she said. At that moment Pudin, with tears in her eyes, also took the lead and also getting very close to Kal asked: "I felt your spirit before, Kal is alive, because you are alive, you are Kal, aren't you?". Kal smiled "You really do love that boy, don't you, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no end will come upon him!".
"Then if you're Kal, you have to remember the promise you made to save Draka and Ninea!" reminded Sahara.
Kal still with a serene smile on his face, looked at Yorin, Adonis, Aura and Markel and turning back to Sahara and Pudin said: "I know you expect him to save everyone and solve all problems, but that is not his purpose!". Pudin then asked: "So what is his purpose?".
"To be the light that will guide the world to a better path, he is not the hero, you are! This battle is not his, it is yours, and the destiny of an entire country is in your hands!" Kal finished.
At that moment Krekk, also gathering all his courage, fiercely attacked Kal "I am a great warrior, hero of the demi-humans, I cannot be killed here by an abomination !!!" he shouted preparing his left hand claws.
Sahara and Pudin tried to shout to warn Kal that Krekk was attacking him, but Kal still continued with a serene smile on his face looking at them. At the moment Krekk approached Kal he conjured upon himself an increase in status with everything he had in mana, leaving only what he needed to not faint, and becoming a gigantic creature with an infernal bloodlust attacking Kal with his claws that were now larger and reddish.
The blow was so powerful that it raised a lot of dust over the arena. Sahara and Pudin were apprehensive waiting to see what had happened to Kal and when the dust cleared Krekk had his claws embedded in the ground trying to pull them out but Kal was not in the arena. Pudin shouted calling for Kal who responded from behind Krekk. "Well, I'm not going to do everything for you, but I believe I can finish the fight I started!"
Kal then took the katana that Aura had given him and walked calmly towards Krekk. "It's really a beautiful weapon, thank you for taking care of him!" said Kal looking at Aura. He then passed by Krekk who looked at Kal with fury. Krekk just felt his head falling and with his senses still functioning, he saw when his head fell onto his own legs until he felt his senses fading slowly "I am a hero who topples giants, I'm happy to be killed by the greatest of all..." he thought before dying.
"Now I need to regain what was taken from me, I will not stay here any longer!" said Kal leaving Hwin's arena.
"Wait, you weren't going to save the girls?" asked Sahara.
Kal looked at Sahara and said: "Their fate has already been traced, just do what you came to do!", then he looked up to an empty place and concluded: "All of you have roles to fulfill, it remains to be seen whether you will be able to fulfill this role or not!". He then turned and continued leaving.
Pudin shouted "Let me go with you, Kal!". However, Kal said "I have to regain what I lost alone, but don't worry, I will return, I haven't forgotten I promised to help you save the dragon!". Then Pudin was calm knowing she would see Kal again and let him go.
Kal passed through Hwin's magic barrier as if it were nothing and no one there had the courage to prevent it from happening. After Kal left the arena, the normal atmosphere returned and everyone who was there breathed relieved, it was as if a great weight had lifted from everyone there. From above was heard Hwin's voice shouting "AHHHHHHH CURSE!!! I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE!" and then finally Hwin revealed himself to everyone.
A man emerged, with an overcoat that covered from his head to the tip of his foot with gold details and a full gold mask where only his eyes could be seen.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA... am I going insane?" asked Hwin. "Maybe it's the constant unbearable pain I feel, or maybe my legendary artifacts drove me mad, but no sanity can withstand what we just witnessed here!" he said.
Then Hwin removed the gold mask that covered his face and all in that arena could see Hwin's face, his face was all burned and there was no more normal skin, it was charred raw flesh. "See this?" he said "They did this to me, and now I feel pains I can't eliminate, they put me in this hell, and today, I will put them in the same place!" he concluded.
The audience fell silent and scared seeing Hwin's condition, the most powerful and dangerous mercenary in the entire Duchy was in that situation and people did not really understand what was happening and so Hwin continued "The sun is rising and the hell of them all has only just begun! Hahahahah!". The audience realizing that Hwin was going well returned to its extra disturbing way, even more contained now due to what had happened before with Kal.
