Second Awakening

The Second Awakening – Darkened Aura

The Battlefield – A Fallen Warrior

> Silence.

Mri lay on the cold, shattered ground, his body barely responding.

His chest ached. His ribs were broken. His breath was weak.

> I lost…?

His fingers twitched, but even lifting a hand felt impossible.

His mind was fading, consumed by the darkness creeping in from all sides.

Above him, Zero stood still, his glowing red eyes blank, his aura roaring like an unchained beast.

> Was this it?

Was this where it all ended?

But then—

Something shifted.

> Haaah… haaaah…

Mri's breathing slowed.

And deep inside him, something began to awaken.

The Trigger – Memories of the Past

> You're weak. You'll never be strong enough.

A voice from his past echoed in his mind.

> Power is useless if you don't have the will to control it.

The words of his mentor, the battles he had fought, the people he had lost—

> They all flashed before his eyes.

His aura…

It wasn't enough.

His strength…

It wasn't enough.

> But was this truly his limit?

Was he just another failure, another lost cause, another fallen warrior?

No.

Not yet.

> Not here. Not now.

> He was Mri.

> He would not fall.

The Awakening – A Phenomenon Beyond Humans

> BOOOOM!

The air shook violently.

A sudden surge of power erupted from Mri's body.

Zero, who was about to walk away, froze.

His red eyes flickered toward Mri's motionless body.

And then—

> CRACK!

The ground beneath Mri shattered.

A heavy pressure filled the battlefield, suffocating, overwhelming—

> Unnatural.

Zero staggered back.

For the first time—

A faint hesitation flickered in his blank, emotionless gaze.

> Something was coming.

> Something beyond human comprehension.

The Darkened Aura – A New Form

> FWOOOOOSH!

Mri's body twitched.

His fingers curled into fists.

And then—

> BOOOOOOOOOOM!

His aura exploded.

> Dark Yellow Aura.

A phenomenon only whispered about in legends.

A second awakening—an evolution beyond the limits of humanity.

His yellow aura had darkened, deepening into a shade so intense it radiated raw power.

Lightning cracked around him.

The ground melted beneath his feet.

His body, once broken, now stood tall.

> Eyes glowing.

Muscles surging with power.

A force that could no longer be contained.

This was no longer the same Mri.

This was something else.

Something more.

Zero vs. Darkened Mri – Round Two Begins

Zero tilted his head, analyzing the situation.

Mri slowly raised his hand.

His aura twisted and pulsed, spiraling around his fingers like a raging storm.

His voice was calm, but it echoed with a newfound strength.

> "You should've finished me when you had the chance."

Zero didn't react.

> FWOOOSH!

In an instant, Mri vanished.

Zero's eyes widened—

> BOOM!

A punch landed straight on Zero's chest, sending him flying for the first time.

Zero flipped mid-air, but—

> BOOOM!

Mri was already there, slamming his knee into Zero's face before he could recover.

> CRACK!

A shockwave ripped through the battlefield.

Zero skidded across the ground, leaving a deep trench in his wake.

But before he could even stop—

> FWOOOOOSH!

Mri appeared behind him.

His fist burned with the power of Dark Yellow Aura.

> "It's my turn now."

And then—

> BOOOOOOOOM!

A devastating punch connected—

Shaking the entire battlefield.

Zero's body was sent crashing through multiple buildings, disappearing into the distance.

Mri exhaled, his aura crackling.

> This… was only the beginning.
