Chapter 24: Revelation 2

Jin charged forward, his daggers flashing in the light.

"I won't let you manipulate the fragments!" Jin declared.

The Entity sneered, its voice dripping with amusement.

"Foolish mortal...You think you can stop me?"

Their blades clashed, the Entity's power sending Jin flying across the battlefield.

As Jin struggled to get back to his feet, the Entity began to speak.

"I was waiting for someone...A specific individual. But instead, you showed up."

Jin's eyes narrowed.

"Who were you waiting for?"

The Entity's gaze turned cold.

"You're not worthy enough to know."

Jin's grip on his daggers tightened.

"What do you want from them?"

The Entity's voice grew infuriated.

"You have something that belongs to them...Something that I can sense within you."

Jin's eyes blazed with defiance.

"I'll never tell you."

The Entity's laughter echoed through the air.

"You don't even know what you possess, do you? But it doesn't matter. You'll make a suitable substitute."

Xarath's voice followed, its tone filled with urgency. "Master, be careful!"

Ash's voice echoed, desperation creeping in. "Master, don't let it get to you!"

Han's voice echoed, his resolve unwavering. "We won't let master fall!"

Jin charged forward, his daggers flashing in the light.

"I'll show you my strength!"

The Entity retaliated, its power crashing against Jin like a tidal wave.

Jin's determination hardened.

"I'll cut you down...And shatter your delusions!"

Their blades clashed, the battle raging on.

[_Mana Consumption: 30%_]

The Entity's smile faltered, its eyes narrowing.

"You think this trivial power can stop me?"

Jin's eyes blazed with defiance.

"I'll show you my strength!"

The Entity's laughter echoed through the air.

"Strength? Ha! You possess some of the abilities of the one I seek...Abilities that make you a pale imitation of true power."

Jin's grip on his daggers tightened.

"What abilities?"

The Entity's gaze turned cold.

"Apocalypse...Necromancy...Chrono Break. You have fragments of these powers within you."

Xarath's voice followed, its tone filled with shock. "Master, is this true?"

Ash's voice echoed, desperation creeping in. "Master, what does it mean?"

Han's voice echoed, his resolve unwavering. "We'll protect master, no matter what."

Jin's eyes widened.

"How did I get these powers?"

The Entity's smile returned.

"Ah, the mysteries of fate...You were chosen, Jin. Chosen to inherit the remnants of the one I seek."

Jin's determination hardened.

"I won't be a substitute...I'll forge my own path."

The Entity's laughter echoed through the air.

"We'll see about that. Your powers are but a shadow of the true thing...But they'll suffice for my purposes."

"You'll make a fine vessel...A vessel for the true power of the one I seek."

Jin's eyes blazed with defiance.

"I'll never be your vessel!"

The battle raged on, Jin's determination fueling his resolve.

"I'll shatter my fate...And forge a new path!"

The air was thick with tension as Jin faced off against the Entity. His eyes narrowed, his mind racing with strategies to protect his comrades.

"I need to protect them...And end this," Jin thought to himself.

With a swift motion, Jin hid Yoon-Ah, Ji-Hoon, and his minions within his shadow.

Xarath's voice followed, its tone filled with urgency.

"Master, we need to retreat!" Xarath warned.

Ash's voice echoed, desperation creeping in.

"Master, Apocalypse isn't working!" Ash exclaimed.

Han's voice echoed, his resolve unwavering.

"We won't leave master's side!" Han declared.

The Entity's laughter grew louder.

But just as all seemed lost, a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Wait," the figure commanded, its voice low and mysterious.

The Entity's gaze shifted, its interest piqued.

"Who dares intervene?" the Entity asked.

The figure stepped forward, its face completely covered, leaving only its piercing eyes visible.

"You won't kill him," the figure stated. "Not yet."

Jin's gaze locked onto the figure, confusion etched on his face.

"Who...are you?" Jin whispered.

The figure's eyes narrowed.

"You're not strong enough to die, Jin. You're the only one compatible with the King's power."

The Entity's laughter echoed.

"Impossible. No mortal can wield the King's power."

The figure's gaze never wavered.

"That's where you're wrong. Jin has potential. Potential that I won't let you waste."
