The entire place sank into an airtight silence in an instant. From the front, dozens of half-dead mafia came charging like starving beasts.

  At the sight of them, the girls’ legs froze in fear. They wanted to scream, but no sound came out. Their bodies started trembling uncontrollably.

  Right then— BAM! The gate in front of the girls slammed shut with a deafening crash. All the mafia were trapped on the other side.

  At the same time, the gate to the right slid open. From the drone’s speaker, the Hacker’s cold voice echoed:— “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

  In a split second, the girls’ route changed. From the control room, the Hacker began opening and sealing gates one after another, locking enemies away with perfect timing. Not a single mafia could reach the girls.

  But suddenly — From the corridor behind the Hacker, hundreds of mafia came rushing in with a thunderous roar. Their eyes burned red under the emergency lights, their footsteps shaking the floor itself.

  The drones instantly filled the air with laser fire. Within moments, several mafia were burned to ash. But the numbers were insane — even the drones’ firepower wasn’t enough.

  The Hacker stood up. A faint smirk curved his lips. Both his hands were still busy — system control, gate locks, camera hacks.

  But his body? That was on a whole different level. The moment the mafia lunged at him — WHIRL!

  A brutal Roundhouse Kick — the second mafia slammed straight into the wall.

  CRASH! He leaped upward and dropped a devastating Axe Kick, shattering concrete as a mafia’s skull caved in.

  The Hacker twisted his entire body — Spinning Back Kick! Ten men flew back at once. The sound of bones snapping echoed through the corridor.

  Then — He launched himself into the air. From within the spin came a savage Jump Kick.

  Seven or eight mafia were sent flying across the corridor. Smoke, black blood, and the crack of broken bones made the entire passageway tremble.

  The Hacker was still operating the system with one hand — and with the other… his body had transformed into a walking storm of weapons.

  The drones spread red light across the ceiling. The sounds of the Hacker’s fight echoed clearly through the area.

  The girls watched in fear mixed with awe — they finally understood. This man wasn’t just a hacker. He was an architect of death.

  Running hard, the girls suddenly stopped. Ahead — a massive wall swallowed by darkness. No way forward.

  Their chests tightened. Everyone thought the same thing:— “Now what? We’re trapped…”

  Right then, the Hacker’s drones roared as they floated forward. One drone projected a hologram toward the girls:— “Move back.”

  Shaking, the girls stepped back slowly. Then suddenly — red light flared from both sides. The Hacker’s two drones aimed at the wall together:— “Target locked.”

  The next instant, two red beams shot forward like lightning.

  SHRAAAAAASH!

  The wall shook with an unbearable screech. In a split second, it shattered violently, exploding outward — dust and smoke blasted in every direction.

  From within the darkness, slowly emerging, was a narrow, terrifying staircase.

  The girls stared, holding their breath. It felt like those steps might lead to freedom… or open the door to an entirely new hell.

  The Hacker didn’t hesitate for even a second. One of his drones sped up the staircase. Cutting through the dark with red light, it reached the top.

  But up there — another massive steel wall blocked the way. The drone showed no hesitation. It locked on and fired a devastating laser instantly.

  BOOOOM!!!

  The explosion shook the entire tunnel. The sealed path was blown open in moments. On the other side, through the darkness, a clear passage appeared.

  Meanwhile, another drone guided the girls carefully up the stairs.

  After climbing, the girls realized — they had broken through the wall of a massive metro tunnel. This was the same tunnel Rayn, Haarun, and the Hacker had entered from earlier.

  The drones kept leading the girls past the metro station and further outside.

  Holding onto each other, trembling, the girls walked forward — yet for the first time, a faint spark of hope lit up in their eyes.

  Meanwhile, the Hacker was still fighting for his life against the mafia. But slowly, their numbers kept increasing — as if countless monsters were being born straight out of the walls themselves.

  Even for the Hacker, this moment became brutally overwhelming. After running for a long time, the girls finally reached the road outside the metro station.

  At that exact moment, a strange calm settled into the Hacker’s eyes. He whispered softly:— “They survived…”

  That single thought was enough. A firm smile formed on the Hacker’s face.

  Right then — an unusual hologram screen appeared before him. Different from the others, glowing in pure white light.

  At the same time, elsewhere — hundreds of mafia bodies lay motionless before Haarun. The floor was soaked with corpses and blood.

  At that moment, the same white hologram appeared in front of Haarun as well. And on another front — Rayn was in an even worse state. The area around him had turned into complete ruins.

  He slowly pushed himself up to his feet. And right then, the same hologram appeared before him too. On all three holograms, the same words appeared simultaneously:— “NUR DOMINION”

  And beneath it, glowing brightly:— “Unlock your power. Don’t think about destruction.”

  As the hologram faded away, a cold yet terrifying smile formed behind the Hacker’s mask.

  The very next moment, two more blue hologram screens appeared behind him. Now four holograms were rotating around him in total.

  At the same time, the Hacker’s drones began to tremble. Their metallic bodies transformed instantly. Around each drone, deadly laser-shooter barrels formed. Death ignited in the Hacker’s eyes.

  Meanwhile, Haarun silently laughed as he looked at the hologram. The centuries-old rage buried in his eyes seemed to evaporate in an instant.

  Haarun drove his massive sword into the ground. Then slowly pulled out his two black-and-red daggers.

  He looked like — even if a thousand mafia charged at once, Haarun alone would tear them apart.

  As the hologram faded in front of Rayn, he slowly stood fully upright. Every wound across his body — for a moment at least, he seemed to forget them all.

  He dropped the dagger he was holding onto the ground. From his lips came a cold, trembling voice:— “Now it’s my turn.”

  There was no fear left in Rayn’s eyes. From deep inside him, a fire was rising — a fire that carried only one message for Vanthor: destruction.

  In the Hacker’s eyes now burned the calm, silent gaze of a hunter. All around him, flames, smoke, and explosions shook the entire control room. His drones spun through the air like a raging cyclone — firing Lesser Beams one after another.

  Mafia flesh and bone melted, scattering into the fire. Walls collapsed, the floor trembled — this place was no longer a battlefield. It had become pure hell.

  At that moment — A mafia soldier silently burst through the smoke from behind and lunged at the Hacker.

  Just as the mafia’s hand reached for his neck — The Hacker suddenly twisted his arm backward. In a flash, he crushed the mafia’s wrist in his grip.

  Then, with cold, merciless precision, he rotated his entire body and hurled the mafia aside with a brutal side throw — like a broken doll flying through the air and slamming into an iron wall.

  The mafia’s chest bones shattered instantly. At the moment of impact, black acid sprayed out from inside his body, and the wall itself began to melt.

  The Hacker slowly exhaled. A faint, contemptuous smile curved his lips:— “If you’re coming to attack me… at least come with some hope of surviving.”

  Around the Hacker, laser light from the drones, acid, and fragments of destruction merged together, forming a massive, blinding storm of light.

  Meanwhile, Haarun suddenly charged like a rabid beast straight into hundreds of mafia fighters.

  Within a single second, his speed became so terrifying — it felt like Haarun himself no longer existed, only black streaks of blood being painted through the air.

  Body parts flew everywhere. Heads tore free from bodies and spun away. Before limbs could even hit the ground, Haarun had already moved forward again.

  As Haarun kept slaughtering, he suddenly burst out laughing loudly — as if the entire situation had turned into a game for him.

  The dagger in his hand — felt several times sharper than even Rayn’s dagger. With a single strike, bone and flesh split apart.

  Metal armor, iron weapons — nothing could withstand the edge of his blade. Haarun no longer saw anyone as human. Only targets. Only things meant to be cut.

  With every sprint, every spin, he sliced through walls, cracked the floor, and shattered the iron beams of the ceiling — sending them crashing down onto the mafias below.

  The mafias didn’t even get a chance to attack — in a blink, Haarun carved through their bodies and dropped them to the ground.

  Scalding acid splashed in some places, the unbearable stench of burned flesh filled others.

  The ceiling began to collapse. Fire, dust, and concrete buried hundreds of mafias alive. The screams stopped.

  For the first time — fear appeared in the eyes of the half-human mafias. Those who were still alive began retreating in terror.

  But Haarun didn’t stop. In his eyes now lived nothing but savage delight — like a monstrous predator who enjoyed every single kill.

  The shockwaves from Haarun’s attack store the half-dead mafias a part before they could even get close.

  His laughter, his strikes, and the sounds of destruction made the entire base tremble. Meanwhile, Rayn stood completely still — a strange fire burning in his eyes.

  Just then, Vanthor suddenly raised his massive iron rod again and lunged forward to finish Rayn once and for all.

  But this time — Rayn vanished right in front of Vanthor’s eyes. Just a single sharp sound:— “Whoosh—”

  And in the very next moment, Rayn appeared behind Vanthor and slammed a devastating side kick straight into his ribs.

  Vanthor was sent flying, crashing into the wall at full force. The wall split open with deep cracks.

  Rayn stared at him with cold eyes and whispered to himself:— “The way you beat me before… I’ll show you a hell far worse than that.”

  Vanthor roared, savage flames igniting in his eyes. In an instant, he threw a straight punch at Rayn.

  But Rayn caught it with one hand— holding it firm, immovable, like a mountain. Vanthor’s eyes widened suddenly — pure disbelief.

  The very next moment — Rayn’s hand moved. Instantly, a storm of punches crashed down on Vanthor’s body: “BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!”

  With every hit, flesh, bone, and air shook together.

  Rayn’s speed was so terrifying that four to five shadow reflections / afterimages appeared at once. It felt like it wasn’t one Rayn anymore — but five Rayns tearing Vanthor apart simultaneously.

  The sight was almost impossible to believe — this was the same Vanthor who had brutally crushed Rayn just moments ago. Now he was the prey, and Rayn had become the true predator.

  Rayn’s fists attacked from every direction — a Straight Punch burned through Vanthor’s chest like fire, a Hook Punch shattered his ribs, a Cross Punch crushed bone into fragments.

  The Boss’s body, drenched in blood, was slowly forced backward. Bloody footprints smeared across the floor — each punch declaring death.

  A Spinning Backfist snapped his head sideways like a death bell ringing. Rayn wielded every type of punch like a weapon. Phantom Punches and Afterimage Punches — for the Boss, dreams and nightmares merged into one.

  Suddenly — Rayn launched upward from below and slammed a devastating Uppercut into Vanthor’s face.

  The impact sent Vanthor flying upward — his body lifting into the air like a broken doll.

  Within milliseconds, Rayn surged upward like lightning, appearing directly above him — cold, merciless killing intent burning in his eyes.

  Then, from the sky, he descended with a catastrophic Axe Kick — The impact was so powerful that the Vanthor crashed into the floor like something struck by a thunderbolt.

  The ground split apart. Dust and blood exploded in every direction. Vanthor’s body was crushed and left motionless inside a deep crater in the floor. Rayn landed and stood still. Only cold breaths escaped his lips.

  This Rayn was no longer the same as before. This Rayn — was a monster. After standing in silence for a moment, a deafening sound suddenly shook the ground.

  Cracks spread everywhere, and within seconds, everything began collapsing downward — the entire area breaking apart and falling into the depths below.

  Both Rayn and Vanthor fell into the dark abyss below. Rayn managed to stabilize himself mid-fall, but Vanthor slammed full-force onto the stone floor. Dust and shattered rock exploded around him.

  Panting heavily, Rayn scanned his surroundings. Ahead was a massive hall — flames roaring on all sides, the heat was so intense that breathing itself felt painful.

  And right at the center — floating in midair — was a transparent pendrive, surrounded by a strange, shimmering light. Grinding his teeth, Rayn grabbed Vanthor by the throat and roared:— “Answer me. Now.”

  But the Boss, his body broken, gasped weakly and whispered in a half-dead voice:— “My… King… forgive me… I couldn’t control your army…”

  His lips trembled. Then — silence. Vanthor’s body went completely limp.

  Rage detonated inside Rayn. His chest heaving, he screamed:— “ANSWER ME! You don’t get to die like this!!”

  But no reply came — only the crackling of fire. Clenching his jaw, Rayn slowly stepped toward the floating transparent pendrive.

  One thought kept spinning in his mind:— “Something kept in a place like this… means it holds something huge. Something dangerous.”

  Rayn reached out and grabbed the pendrive tightly. An unfamiliar power surged into his body instantly. He didn’t hesitate for even a second. Turning around, he leapt out of the fire-filled hall in one clean motion.

  Elsewhere — under the storm of Hacker’s drones and the slaughter unleashed by Haarun’s blades, the very last trace of the mafia was erased.

  It was over. Rayn immediately contacted the other two and told them to pull out. Hacker and Haarun moved at once.

  All three sprinted at near-sonic speed — through broken corridors, acid-burned corpses, and collapsing ruins.

  Finally — Rayn. Hacker. Haarun. They regrouped in the middle of the road after crossing the dark tunnel.

  Their faces were drained, bodies exhausted — but inside, one feeling dominated them all:— “We made it… somehow.”

  The hacker spoke calmly:— “I already sent all the information to Nur Dominion.”

  No one replied. They just nodded and pushed forward faster. At that moment — outside the metro station, the girls were waiting, eyes wet, whispering prayers.

  Suddenly, three shadows emerged from the darkness. Yeah — it was them. Rayn, Hacker, Haarun.

  The moment they returned alive felt like it shook the entire world.

  The instant they appeared, all the girls rushed toward them and surrounded them. Tears in some eyes, fear in others, gratitude mixed with shock — and in every single gaze, countless unanswered questions.

  Rayn glanced around once and understood everything. In a cold, steady voice, he said:— “I know you have a thousand questions. But… none of them will be answered right now.”

  As Rayn finished, Hacker added in a soft, reassuring tone:— “Vehicles will arrive shortly. They’ll take you to a safe place.

  You’ll receive medical treatment there, and then you’ll be sent back home.”

  A little later, without making a sound, one black van after another pulled up along the dark road.

  The girls climbed in one by one. Slowly, the vehicles disappeared into the night. Once everyone was gone, the air grew heavy.

  Haarun let out a deep breath with a faint smile and said, almost cheerfully:— “In the end, everything worked out… but one thing keeps bugging me. How did they survive in that place for so long? Even though I was suffocating there.”

  As he spoke, both Haarun and Rayn removed their hoods and masks together. The moment their faces were revealed felt like it sliced through the darkness itself.

  The hacker froze when he saw them. A storm of disbelief hit his eyes. In a stunned voice, he said:— “You… you two…”

  Rayn frowned slightly and asked bluntly:— “What? Do you know us?”

  Without answering, Hacker slowly removed his own hood and mask. The very next second, Rayn and Haarun were stunned. Their eyes widened in shock. Both of them shouted at the same time:— “Sa’ut… YOU?!”

  Realizing that all three of them had been on the same mission together, Sa’ut gave a calm smile. A vague, mysterious light flickered in his eyes.

  But — At that exact moment, far away, on the parapet wall of an unfamiliar building, stood an unknown figure.

  His body was covered in a Nur Dominion suit — but unlike the others, it was terrifyingly advanced, Futuristic, as if it existed on an entirely different level of technology and power. The stranger whispered in a cold voice:— “Good job…”

  The echo of the words still trembled in the air. And in the very next moment — as if vanishing right before one’s eyes — he disappeared into the darkness.
