When Light Refuses to Die.

The entire world felt frozen.

Hero Kemp stood glowing gold, while the Demon King stood wrapped in swirling darkness. The sky above them looked like a battlefield of black fire and golden storms.

Every hero, every civilian, every demon…

All stopped and stared.

Because the next clash between Hero Kemp and the Demon King
would decide the fate of the world.

Ajmal whispered under his breath:

Ajmal:
“Everyone… stay ready. No matter what happens now… the world will change.”

The Demon King stomped forward.
The ground cracked like glass beneath his feet.

His giant sword rose again, covered in black lightning and smoke.

Demon King:
“HERO KEMP…
THE NEXT STRIKE WILL END YOUR LIFE!”

The sky boomed with thunder.

Dark flames swirled around the Demon King’s body.

Even far away, Sumit, Ayon, Alir, Jirsong, and the others felt the weight of his killing intent.

Serdihun 1 shivered violently.

Serdihun 1:
“I… I can’t breathe… His aura is too strong…”

Serdihun 2 grabbed her hand.

Serdihun 2:
“Stay strong! We can’t fall now!”

Even Ram Sir, one of the strongest teachers, looked worried.

Ram Sir:
“His power… is almost beyond magic.”

The Demon King lifted his sword high.

Black lightning cracked the sky open.

The world waited.

Kemp gently lowered his spear into attack position.

His armor glowed brighter.

Golden winds circled around him.

Every hero felt a strange calm in their hearts.

As if Kemp’s golden light was telling them:

“You are safe.”
“I am still fighting.”
“Do not give up.”

Ayon clenched his fists.

Ayon:
“He’s still standing…! Even after everything!”

Sumit nodded with a fire in his eyes.

Sumit:
“Kemp… you’re a monster of courage. Keep going!”

Ajmal gripped his staff tighter.

Ajmal:
“Hero Kemp… let the light win.”

And inside the armor…

Buddhist breathed slowly.

Painfully.

His entire body felt broken.

But his heart felt stronger than ever.

Buddhist (thinking):
"If I fall… they fall.
If I stop… darkness wins.
I cannot fail.”

He whispered, even though no one could hear:

Buddhist:
“I will protect them… until my last breath.”

The golden aura around Kemp grew even larger.

Demon King:
“DIE!!!”

He rushed forward like a falling mountain.

His sword cut through buildings and clouds.

Black fire spread behind him like wings.

The speed was unbelievable.

Even Jirsong shouted:

Jirsong:
“He’s too fast!! Faster than before!!”

Ayon’s eyes widened.

Ayon:
“KEMP!! MOVE!!!”

But Hero Kemp did not run away.

He ran toward the Demon King.

Straight into the danger.

Straight into the darkness.

Kemp and the Demon King met in the center of the destroyed city.

Kemp stabbed his spear forward.

The Demon King swung his gigantic sword downward.

The weapons collided—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A wave of gold and black exploded outward.

The shockwave destroyed houses, crushed roads, and knocked demons out of the sky.

The heroes held their ground.

Sumit shielded Ayon from the blast.

Alir shot arrows into the ground to anchor herself.

Ajmal created magical barriers to protect the weaker heroes.

Ajmal:
“STAY BACK! THIS WAVE CAN RIP YOU APART!”

Inside the explosion of gold and black…

Kemp and the Demon King fought like gods.

Spear against sword.

Light against darkness.

Strength against strength.

Their attacks shook the entire world.

But slowly…

the Demon King’s raw power began pushing Kemp back.

The Demon King smirked with dark delight.

Demon King:
“YOUR BODY IS WEAK, HERO!
YOUR SOUL IS BREAKING!”

He swung harder.

Kemp slid backward, armor cracking.

Demon King:
“NO MATTER HOW BRIGHT YOUR LIGHT IS…
MY DARKNESS IS GREATER!”

He delivered a massive blow.

Kemp was thrown backward, smashing through a giant stone wall.

Dust and rocks exploded everywhere.

Serdihun 1 screamed.

Serdihun 1:
“KEMP!!!”

Sumit clenched his teeth.

Sumit:
“No! Get up! Get up, Kemp!!”

Jirsong growled:

Jirsong:
“He can’t fall now!”

Even Ajmal’s face tightened.

Ajmal:
“He’s taking too much damage…”

Inside the broken armor…

Buddhist’s vision was fading.

His breathing went weak.

His body refused to move.

Buddhist (thinking):
“My… body won’t respond…
But if I stop now…
they die…”

He tried to stand.

His legs shook.

His arms trembled.

But he pushed.

Harder.

And harder.

A small spark of gold lit up.

Then another.

Then the entire armor glowed bright again.

Hero Kemp rose slowly from the rubble.

The Demon King froze.

Demon King:
“…You still stand?
AFTER ALL THAT?”

Kemp lifted his spear again, though his hands shook.

Kemp:
“As long as they live…
I will not fall.”

The heroes cried out in hope.

Ayon:
“YES! KEEP GOING KEMP!!!”

Sumit raised his flaming fists.

Sumit:
“Show him the power of light!!”

Alir’s voice shook.

Alir:
“We’re with you Kemp… always!”

Ajmal lifted his staff.

Ajmal:
“We will support you until the end!”

The golden aura exploded around Kemp again.

But this time…

it was brighter.

Brighter than ever before.

The Demon King roared.

Demon King:
“THEN I SHALL SHOW YOU TRUE DARKNESS!”

He stabbed his sword into the ground.

A massive shockwave of dark flames spread outward.

Black pillars rose from the earth.

The sky became even darker.

The portal above grew bigger, sending more demons.

Sumit gasped.

Sumit:
“He’s calling MORE power?!”

Ayon shouted:

Ayon:
“This is bad! Too bad!!”

Ajmal clenched his staff.

Ajmal:
“This power… it’s ancient. Forbidden. Even I cannot stop it…”

The Demon King lifted his sword again.

Dark lightning struck the ground everywhere.

Demon King:
“KNEEL BEFORE THE KING OF DARKNESS!!!”

His aura grew into a giant black dragon behind him.

Every demon shouted in excitement.

Every hero felt fear.

Every civilian screamed for their lives.

The world felt like it was ending.

Kemp stabbed his spear into the ground and took a deep breath.

Golden circles appeared around him.

His spear began glowing brighter than the sun.

Golden wind blew across the battlefield.

Even the darkness trembled.

Buddhist could barely speak, but he whispered inside the armor:

Buddhist:
“Light… don’t leave me now…”

The heroes watched in awe.

Ajmal’s jaw dropped.

Ajmal:
“This is… a divine aura…”

Ayon whispered:

Ayon:
“Kemp… what are you doing…?”

Sumit’s eyes widened.

Sumit:
“That light… it feels like hope…”

Kemp raised his spear slowly.

Very slowly.

But with pure determination.

The golden aura formed wings behind him.

Bright, massive, shining wings.

Like an angel ready for war.

The Demon King pointed his sword forward.

The black dragon behind him roared.

Demon King:
“COME, HERO!
LET US END EVERYTHING!!”

Kemp pointed his spear back at him.

Kemp:
“I will not let darkness decide our future.”

The wind stopped.

The world went silent.

Every heart stopped beating for a moment.

Then—

Both of them charged.

Light against darkness.

Speed against power.

Fate against destruction.

The entire world saw them collide—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A massive explosion consumed everything.

Gold and black swallowed the whole battlefield.

Heroes were thrown away.

Demons flew into the air.

The sky cracked like glass.

The ground split open.

Everything became light and shadow.

And then—

everything went silent.

Absolutely silent.
