"Oh? I didn't know there were more uninvited gues-" before Raven could finish his sentence, Alex cut his hand off.
Raven immediately widened his eyes and took a few steps back but remained his composure. "Amazing power."
"That isn't power, that is my sword" Alex replied, trying to slash him again but Raven dodged easily.
"Wait...now that I look closely, isn't that the infamous sword that nullifies any sort of ability and can cut through anything? So that's how Billie Fletcher was defeated..." Raven thought. "But How come he has it?"
"Who are you?" Raven said in a serious tone, his smile fading completely.
"The man who will end your life" Alex replied, teleporting behind him and trying to land a slash, which Raven dodged by moving to the side. However, before Raven could recover, Luke threw a few rocks towards him which Raven tried to block but as soon as the rocks hit Raven, they exploded immediately, launching Raven towards the wall.
But Before Raven could get launched into the wall, Ronx teleported above him and launched him onto the ground with a powerful kick. Then Cilia teleported right above him, sitting on top of Raven and then unleashed a barrage of extremely fast punches that Ronx couldn't even see. "Is that her power? Super speed?"
Suddenly, Raven disappeared and appeared several meters away from them. "Finally, people capable of filling my heart."
Barrett was about to charge at him but suddenly both of his hands got cut off."By the time you all were punching and kicking me, the several puppets in my pocket had already transformed into all of you."
"And all of you might be wondering why I am still unscathed. I had attacked his pocket, which has his puppet so how is he still completely fine? That's what you all are thinking, right?" Raven said, his hands behind his back.
"Well, I lied" Raven said with a smirk. "My puppet is somewhere in this castle, hidden deep inside."
Meanwhile while all of this was happening, Elvis slowly made her towards the injured people and started to heal them. Slowly, Zombie, Vivian and the pink girl were completely healed except for the unknown special grade who Raven had killed.
Raven noticed them getting healed but didn't do anything to prevent it. Instead, he simply took out a puppet of Elvis or at least that was what he thought as he accidently took a rock from his pocket, which instantly exploded in his face. "A rock? Where did this come from?" Raven thought.
Suddenly, several explosions happened right in Raven's face, exploding his entire body into pieces but it was all for nothing as he slowly regenerated as if nothing happened. Before Raven could say anything, Alex appeared behind him and slashed his back, blood spilling out instantly. "Oh, I almost forgot about you."
"I apologize but I don't want to play around with you that's why I will kill you earlier than I would wish" Raven said, taking out Alex's puppet and about to slash the puppet's head with the needle. "It is quite unfortunate that only my needle can hurt you. If that wasn't the case, all of you would have exploded."
"I hope you rest well" Raven said, only a few milliseconds away from slashing off the puppet's head but just then, Raven's hand started to melt. "Hm? What's happening to my hand all of a sudden?"
"It seems that my ability has evolved from metal manipulation to something far stronger" Alex said with a smirk. "I guess it's a good thing I infused it in my sword so it will work on you."
Suddenly, Raven's started body started to melt. "Ah, let me guess. You can melt anything you wish by simply touching it, right?"
Alex's eyes slightly widened as if surprised he got it right.
"So you have awakened...quite surprising" Raven said. "Now, I think I have had enough of you all."
As soon as Raven said that, he took out all of the puppets and started to aggressively stab all of them, forming several holes in each of them, which happened to the real bodies. Alex fell to the ground, massively bleeding, including Ronx and all of the other members.
"Which of you wants to die first?" Raven asked. "I guess It will be you since if I don't kill you first, I'll melt into nothing."
Suddenly, Alex started to speak. "When someone awakens, their ability and realm evolves into something far stronger. However, if a person does not possess a realm, they are given one."
"Huh? What are you trying to say?" Raven said, about to kill the puppet of Alex by cutting of it's head.
Before Raven could, Alex mumbled something.
"Realm of eternal suffering"
"His realm evolved from "realm of a thousand swords" to "Realm of eternal suffering?" Barrett wondered. "What could that mean and why is he using it here?! We could get teleported too, you know!"
"This is my first time experiencing an evolved Realm, I am expecting something fascinating" Raven said, slightly smiling from excitement.
