The facility shook.
Walls cracked.
Lights flickered wildly.
The Underlord stood still—
Calm.
Unshaken.
Madam Silver faced him.
No fear.
No hesitation.
"…So this is your true form," she said.
The Underlord tilted his head slightly.
"This is only a fraction."
Silence.
Then—
They moved.
Madam Silver struck first.
Fast.
Precise.
Deadly.
But the Underlord didn't move.
Her attack stopped—
Mid-air.
Her eyes widened slightly.
"…Too slow," he said.
With a single motion—
She was thrown across the hall.
Crashing through metal and concrete.
Axel stepped back. "…This is insane…"
Leo's voice was low. "She's Rank 1… and she can't even touch him…"
Madam Silver stood again.
Blood at the corner of her mouth.
But still calm.
"You've become something dangerous," she said.
The Underlord stepped forward.
"…I was always dangerous."
She attacked again.
Stronger.
Faster.
Pushing everything she had.
This time—
He moved.
The clash shook the entire floor.
Shockwaves burst through the walls.
The ground split beneath them.
For a moment—
They matched.
Then—
The Underlord grabbed her arm.
Stopped her completely.
"…This ends now."
Madam Silver looked at him—
Not with fear.
But understanding.
"…So this is what you chose, Kai…" she said softly.
For a split second—
The red glow flickered.
But it was gone instantly.
The Underlord's grip tightened.
With overwhelming force—
He struck.
The impact sent her crashing down.
Hard.
The ground shattered beneath her.
Silence followed.
The Underlord stood over her.
Unmoving.
Madam Silver tried to rise—
But couldn't.
"…You were strong," he said.
She gave a faint, tired smile.
"…And you… lost yourself."
No response.
The Underlord raised his hand.
Power gathered.
Cold.
Final.
Axel shouted, "KAI STOP!"
Leo stepped forward. "Don't do this!"
But there was no hesitation.
No pause.
The power dropped.
A final удар.
Silence.
The energy faded.
The shaking stopped.
Madam Silver didn't move again.
Axel's voice dropped to a whisper. "…He actually…"
Leo looked away slightly. "…It's over."
The Underlord turned his back.
No emotion.
No regret.
"…Weak," he said.
But deep inside—
Far beneath the silence—
A faint voice tried to rise.
"…what… did I… do…"
