One day

Eugene looked at Dolia with a questioning look. "Dolia, I have a question for you."

Dolia smiled, but her eyes remained sharp. "Go ahead, Eugene. Ask what you want to know."

"On my last mission, I think I killed you," Eugene said in a serious voice. "What happened? How did you come back to life?"

Dolia looked at him calmly. "Ah, Eugene. I can't just die like that. You forget that I have powers beyond your comprehension."

Eugene thought for a moment, trying to process the information. "But I'm sure I broke your heart. How can you still be alive?"

Dolia smiled slightly. "Perhaps you have forgotten the truth, Eugene."

With slow movements, Dolia opened her dress slightly, revealing a chest that had been hollowed out without a heart. This startled Eugene.

"What... what does that mean?" asked Eugene, his voice shaking slightly.

Dolia looked at him with a sharp gaze. "It means I am no longer human, Eugene. I am undead. Ah, I also have some entertainment for you."

Eugene raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

Dolia smiled mysteriously. "We shall see, Eugene. We shall see."

But before Eugene could answer, the silence was broken by a rumbling sound in the cave. They both turned their heads towards the source of the sound and saw the hypnotized natives fighting each other in the cave.

Eugene looked at Dolia angrily. "You're using them for your own gain! You're using them!"

Dolia smiled sarcastically. "What do you expect, Eugene? This is my game. And in this game, I am the queen."

Eugene felt his anger rise. "You can't play with other people's lives like that!"

Dolia just laughed, her voice wickedly amused. "Ah, but that's the fun part, Eugene. Seeing you mad is just a bonus."

The two of them stood amidst the chaos, the atmosphere of the cave growing tense and dark.

The possibility that Dolia could turn herself into an undead all by herself felt impossible to Eugene. That meant there was someone behind all of this, someone helping her, but who? However, that thought had to be put on hold. Right now, his priority was to stop the chaos and protect the hostages.

With burning determination, Eugene concentrated his Aura energy on his feet, ready for action. In an instant, he leapt into the center of the crowd with incredible speed, landing like a meteor that shook the ground around him. The vibration was enough to blow all the hostages into the air.

While still in mid-air, Eugene with a quick hand movement rendered all the hostages unconscious, giving them a chance to return to consciousness without the need to go through further pain.

However, this spectacular act did not go unnoticed by Dolia either. She watched with a wide smile, realizing how much Eugene had displayed incredible stupidity. "What a fool," she muttered with a grin. "He doesn't even realize how vulnerable we are in this cave. I must escape immediately before everything collapses."

Eugene, meanwhile, was still concentrating on the situation around him, making sure that all the hostages were safe. However... "Now Dolia! It's your turn..." When she turned around there was no one there, which made the situation tense due to the vibrations of the cave collapsing and the awkward moment experienced by Eugene. "Damn..."

Cursing his own stupidity, Eugene immediately realized that he had to act quickly. With quick movements, he set up a large barrier using his Aura, creating a solid wall of energy around the hostages. The wall became their last stronghold, protecting them from the increasingly real danger of the cave collapsing.

...

Outside the cave, Dolia, the black witch, got down from her wand and turned around to look at the landslide caused by the underground cave collapsing. With a sinister laugh, she demonized Eugene's stupidity back in the day, when she was still a teacher at Tower Jam, and Eugene was one of the students who was said to be a genius.

Dolia stepped amidst the ruins, her gaze filled with malicious pleasure. Her steps waved, leaving deep footprints on the dusty ground. "Eugene, Eugene... the genius who is now trapped in his own stupid game," she said in a voice that echoed in the silence of nature.

"Hey, do you think I'm stupid. You're not going to die with just this, are you?" Said sharply from the witch's mouth as she looked at the ruins in front of her.

A few moments of silence followed, before finally a small tremor began to creep under Dolia's feet, slowly growing like an earthquake. She squinted, realizing that an unexpected force was happening. However, before she could react, the epicenter of the quake appeared right in front of her.

Dolia, with her quick instincts, slightly retreated backwards, but her gaze remained fixed ahead. Suddenly, a pillar of white light appeared in the center of the ruins, adding a contrasting hue to the surrounding darkness.

As Dolia retreated backwards, her eyes were still fixed on the pillar of light that suddenly appeared in the center of the ruins. The bright white light radiated brilliantly, creating a silhouette that contrasted with the surrounding darkness.

As the pillar of light grew brighter, as if portraying a holy and powerful presence, Eugene emerged from the shadows of the ruins dashingly. In the aura radiating from his body, he looked even more powerful and dazzling than before.

Eugene's performance was mesmerizing; his stride was steady, his posture firm, and his gaze full of courage. Every movement and expression on his face reflected a firm decision and a strong determination to face any challenge. The pillar of light that enveloped him added an undeniable sense of grace and strength.

As if emerging from a legend, Eugene stood among the ruins with his charismatic charm. His sharp eyes gazed at Dolia, the black witch, with determination. Beneath the bravado, there was a firm determination to fight against all forms of darkness that shackled him.

"Like the hero of legends, but unfortunately he is a demon..." Said the witch with a voice filled with cynicism.

"More precisely, a half-demon..." Eugene responded with a voice that was calm yet filled with certainty, implying that behind the dashing exterior, there was an unfathomable dark side.

The situation between them was tense, characterized by a confrontation between the opposing forces of light and darkness. Their eyes are interlocked, reflecting the battle between good and evil that goes on in each of their hearts.
