Kaien: "The enemy is coming. A Voidborn Lord has been sighted leading an army of monsters."

Panel 3: Saria clenches her fist. "A direct assault… they want to wipe us out!"

Panel 4: Hakiro leans against the wall, arms crossed. "Then I'll erase them first."

Page 2: The Battlefield Awakens

Panel 1: The dark storm reaches the outskirts of Valtheria. From the shadows emerges Voidborn Lord Zareth, a towering humanoid with glowing crimson eyes and an armor-like body made of shifting darkness.

Panel 2: The ground trembles as thousands of shadow creatures emerge behind him, hissing and screeching.

Panel 3: Zareth smirks. "Valtheria will crumble tonight. Nothing can defy the Void."

Panel 4: A single figure steps forward from the fortress gates—Hakiro, his black robes flowing in the wind.

Hakiro: "I don't care who you are. If you threaten this world, you're already dead."

Page 4: Hakiro's True Strength

Panel 1: Hakiro vanishes from sight. A shockwave explodes as he reappears mid-air, his fist already inches from Zareth's face.

Panel 2: BOOM! A crater forms as Zareth is sent flying through multiple shadow creatures, obliterating them instantly.

Panel 3: The Resistance watches in shock as Hakiro walks through the dust, his silver eyes glowing intensely.

Saria: "This is beyond anything I've seen before..."

Panel 4: Zareth slowly stands up, cracks forming in his body. "You… you're no ordinary warrior."

Page 5: The Battle Rages On

Panel 1: Zareth roars, his body shifting into a monstrous, four-armed form. "Then let's fight seriously!"

Panel 2: Hakiro dodges a barrage of attacks, weaving between Zareth's monstrous fists.

Panel 3: He counterattacks—a Void Slash erupts from his hand, slicing off one of Zareth's arms in a single motion.

Panel 4: Zareth screams in rage, but his body starts regenerating instantly.

Hakiro (thinking): "Tch… even that wasn't enough?"

Page 6: A Moment of Struggle

Panel 1: Zareth lunges, grabbing Hakiro and slamming him into the ground, creating a deep crater.

Panel 2: Hakiro tries to rise, but Zareth's massive foot crushes down on his chest, pinning him.

Panel 3: Zareth laughs, his energy growing even stronger.

Zareth: "For all your power… you still don't understand the Void."

Panel 4: Hakiro's eyes widen as Zareth's dark energy begins devouring his strength.

Page 7: The Turning Point

Panel 1: Hakiro clenches his fists, his mind flashing back to his father, Nullity, and the cosmic abyss he was born from.

Panel 2: A voice echoes in his mind—his own past self.

"Your power is limitless… if you break your limits."

Panel 3: His aura shifts—from pure darkness to a swirling mass of black and silver flames.

Panel 4: The ground shatters beneath him as his Void Form begins awakening.

Hakiro: "I'm not done yet."

Panel 1: A shockwave erupts, sending Zareth flying backward. The entire battlefield falls silent.

Panel 3: Saria whispers, "What… is this transformation?"

Panel 4: Hakiro vanishes from sight, reappearing behind Zareth. A single punch detonates the air, sending Zareth crashing into the mountains miles away

Final Page: The End of the Fight

Panel 1: Zareth struggles to rise, his body breaking apart. "T-this can't be…!"

Panel 2: Hakiro raises his hand, forming a Void Sphere—a small black hole crackling with energy.

Panel 3: He hurls it forward, the attack devouring Zareth entirely in pure nothingness.

Panel 4: As the dust settles, the Resistance watches in shock—Hakiro stands alone, victorious. But in the distance, an even greater force is watching…
