Betrayal

Chapter: Betrayal 

As Ryu and Kai made their way through the dungeon, their conversation flowed easily, filled with laughter and camaraderie. The air was thick with anticipation as they neared their destination, the Mana Cube shimmering in the distance like a beacon of hope.

Kai: "You know, Ryu, I've gotta admit, I wasn't sure about teaming up with you at first. But now, I'm glad I did. You're not like other adventurers I've met."

Ryu grinned, a genuine warmth spreading through him at Kai's words.

Ryu: "Thanks, Kai. You're not so bad yourself. Maybe we'll make a good team after all."

But as they reached the clearing where the Mana Cube awaited, a sudden chill descended upon them, shattering the illusion of friendship.

Without warning, Kai lunged at Ryu from behind, Sylveo glowing in his hand. The blade struck true, piercing Ryu's flesh and sending waves of agony coursing through his body.

Ryu staggered forward, his vision swimming with pain as Kai pressed his advantage, raining down blow after blow with merciless precision. With each strike, Sylveo drained not only Ryu's life force but also the life force of what lay dormant within him—Yizo, the terrifying Dragon of Destruction.

As the life energy flowed into Sylveo, the weapon began to tremble and crack, unable to contain the sheer mana radiating from Yizo's being.

In a blinding flash of light, Sylveo shattered into a thousand pieces, its dark energy dissipating into the ether. And in its wake stood Yizo, his eyes ablaze with righteous fury in Kai's mind.

With a deafening roar that shook the very foundations of reality, Yizo unleashed his wrath upon Kai, his mere presence enough to send the traitorous adventurer reeling in terror.

But Ryu, fueled by a burning rage that consumed him, rose from the ashes of his torment, his battered body pulsing with raw power.

With a steely resolve, he seized Kai by the throat, the desperate pleas for mercy falling on deaf ears.

Kai: "We're friends, right Ryu? Please, don't do this!"

But Ryu's heart had turned to stone, his mind consumed by a single, all-consuming desire for vengeance.

With a savage brutality that bordered on madness, he tore Kai's throat and grabbed his head

Kai: "Stop Thi-"

Before Kai finish his sentence Ryu Blew up his head

As the echoes of the explosion of Kai head, Ryu stood emotionless, his hands stained with blood and his soul weighed down by the burden of his actions.

And in that moment, Ryu just held the magic cube and left the dungeon and In his way out He got stabbed by 4 Guards

Guard: "We got him, Where is Kai"

Guard #2: "This Monster Must've Got him"

Ryu stared at them with blank piercing eyes, The Guards Started Shaking and got scared

Ryu Whispered: "Enough.."

He Held Their Spears Turning them into Pieces, He puted his palm over a Guard Face 

Guard: "What Are you doin-"

Before he can finish his sentence, Huge Wave of Black Flames Launched from his palm

Ryu: "Abyss Flame.."

The Guard Head Was burned even the ash disappeared From the Flame Strength, Ryu Stared at the other Guards and Slaughtered Them in a brutal way

Then left the place in silence..
