<h4>Hadara’s Hunt</h4>
The night was thick with smoke as Hadara walked through the ruins of Tenryu Village. His crimson cloak flowed behind him, untouched by the flames surrounding him.
His eyes, glowing with an unnatural power, scanned the battlefield.
"Where are you, Izuki Raiken?" he muttered.
But there was no sign of him.
Hadara’s lips curled in irritation.
"Tch… hiding, are we?"
Then—
He felt it.
A presence.
One he hadn’t sensed in years.
Hadara turned his gaze to a collapsed temple in the village center—where a group of figures stood atop the wreckage.
The Shinsei Group.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Shidou stood in the middle, his Hadara Eyes piercing through the smoke.
Veydris, Kairo, Renzai, Zyren—all of them stood motionless, their aura unshaken by Hadara’s arrival.
Hadara smirked.
"So… it’s been a while, hasn’t it?"
Shidou narrowed his eyes.
Hadara took a step forward, his presence making the air tremble.
"Five years ago," Hadara said, his voice cold. "I gave you my Lout Eyes… Now it’s time to give them back."
A heavy silence filled the air.
Then—
Shidou chuckled.
"No, Hadara." He took a step forward, standing face-to-face with his former master. "This is not the time to give them back."
A spark of energy cracked between them.
The wind howled.
The flames around them flickered violently—
And then—
BOOM!
The battle began.
Hadara vanished.
In the blink of an eye, he reappeared behind Shidou, his hand forming a deadly strike.
But—
CLASH!
Shidou blocked it.
A shockwave erupted, leveling the remaining buildings around them.
Hadara smirked.
"You''ve gotten stronger… but not strong enough."
Shidou’s Hadara Eyes flashed.
"Let’s see about that."
In an instant, the Shinsei group spread out, encircling Hadara.
Veydris formed a dark void, Kairo’s body flickered at inhuman speed, and Renzai summoned storm-like spears.
Hadara laughed.
"Good. Let’s see if you can handle me."
With a wave of his hand—
The battle truly began.
