Chapter 72: A Farewell to Power

 



With one last look at Arson, Jae-ho steeled himself for what lay ahead. He left the old house and returned to the factory, his heart heavy with the knowledge that he was now vulnerable. The sun had set, plunging the world into darkness, reflecting the turmoil within him.

“Arak!” Jae-ho shouted, his voice echoing through the abandoned space. The darkness shifted, and Arak appeared, a sinister smile curling his lips, his energy swirling like a storm.

“Back for more, are we?” Arak taunted, his yellow energy crackling with anticipation.

“I’m here to end this,” Jae-ho declared, summoning the remaining power within him. It was not much, but it would have to be enough.

As they clashed, Jae-ho felt the weight of the fight pressing down on him. Each blow he landed felt like a piece of his heart breaking. He was fighting not just for himself but for Arson, for their future. The energy of their past battles surged through him, giving him strength, but it was clear he was running on fumes.

With a final surge of adrenaline, Jae-ho pushed through the pain, managing to strike a decisive blow against Arak. The energy surged, and with a final scream, Jae-ho forced Arak back, sending him crashing to the ground.

But as Arak fell, he didn’t disappear without a fight. “You think this is over?” he hissed, his voice laced with venom. In his final moments, he unleashed a powerful surge that struck Jae-ho, sending him sprawling backward.

Jae-ho fought against the darkness creeping into his vision. He watched as Arak’s form shimmered and vanished, but the victory felt hollow. The energy surged within him, but he knew he wouldn’t be able to last much longer.

With heavy steps, he made his way to the edge of the city, the weight of his decision pressing down on him. The dawn was breaking, casting a golden glow over the landscape as he made his choice. He needed to leave—leave everything behind to protect Arson from the aftermath of this battle.

“I’m so sorry, Arson,” he whispered to the wind, tears streaming down his face. “I can’t risk you getting hurt because of me.”

Taking a deep breath, Jae-ho used the last of his strength to propel himself far away, beyond the city, to an unfamiliar place where no one would find him. The echoes of their love rang in his heart, but he knew this was the only way.

                      FATE WILL BRING YOU TO ME Episode 1: Unraveled Fate The night was violent, storm clouds swirling overhead as Jae-ho walked alone, his steps heavy on the rain-soaked pavement. He barely noticed the world around him until a flash of blue lightning split the sky. Suddenly, his body was engulfed by an unfamiliar energy, his eyes glowing the same electric blue. His heart raced as he stopped in his tracks. "This... can't be happening," he whispered, panic creeping into his voice. Before he could make sense of it, a figure appeared ahead of him—Arson. He stood still, drenched in the rain, his face even darker under the shadow of exhaustion, with black circles framing his intense eyes. "You..." Arson's voice was low and dangerous. "You really thought you could just leave me?" Jae-ho froze. He hadn’t expected to see Arson again, not like this. "I didn’t mean to," he stammered. "I had no choice. Please, understand." ...

Chapter 20: The First Strike

  The air had grown colder, and the once peaceful forest where Jae-ho and Arson had trained now felt more like a battleground. Jae-ho had a sinking feeling in his stomach that tonight, everything would change. As the sun set, casting long shadows across the ground, Jae-ho and Arson stood together in the clearing. Jae-ho’s hands glowed faintly with the golden energy he had come to master, while Arson’s blue aura flickered around him like a protective shield. “We need to stay focused,” Arson said, his eyes scanning the horizon. “Arak’s close—I can feel it.” Jae-ho nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He had trained hard for this moment, but the fear of the unknown still gnawed at him. “I’m ready,” he said, more to reassure himself than Arson. Suddenly, a gust of wind rustled through the trees, and Jae-ho felt it—a dark, heavy presence moving toward them. The air crackled with energy, and a moment later, Arak appeared, stepping out of the shadows with a cruel smile on his face. “...
