[Seiryuu Empire, a few minutes before the meeting of the two Zeetas.].
The imperial society was witnessing the "power" of the Emperor, Zero Akihiro, who had been able to capture someone threatening their residence. Everyone cheered because the criminal was about to be executed through the mouth of a Dragon.
If it had to be more specific, that "power" was from her own daughter, Hitomi Reiko. By taking advantage of the eye condition that Tellaura has injured, Hitomi Reiko can win from the Dark Lord, even if only a few tens of minutes.
The society, including the Crown Prince, Arata Akihiro, is indeed mingling with his own people, as if the ants that were thrown by water— scattered to all corners of—when Undine unleashed her power on the Dark Lord to avenge her actions on the Colossal Turtle, Bon.
There are those who died because of the amount of mass squeezed in the same time, some are because they can not swim, exposed to strong blows on specific body parts such as the head, and others. Obviously, after the arrival of the Undine, things went bad.
This is according to Hitomi Reiko, the Crown Prince. He is currently having trouble breathing, having managed to swim and save himself by climbing into a large chunk of rock.
"We are a strong country! An ambitious country!"
Arata is rattled by his father's speech before all the chaos ensues.
"Strong country...?" while tightly gripping both of his hands, he was bluffing his teeth. "What is a strong country?! Where are you the Dragons we have always worshipped and believed in?!
"What strength have you given you not conquered something like this? Why did so many people die helplessly just from the brunt of the water like this?!
"You are the strongest race!"
By continuing to hurt himself, starting from the head, hands, front body, and others, Arata cried.
"I didn't even know my father was alive or not!
"What strength have you guys been giving me all this time, father, lord Carlou?!"
But suddenly, in the middle of it he raved, the Dark Lord was pierced by a pointed blade of ice that pierced his stomach.
"What's a—?!" Arata in the fog. He was wide-eyed who followed in which direction the Dark Lord was thrown. Not long after he was wide-eyed, without a second thought, he immediately took out all his remaining strength right then and there. His emotions also peaked.
'BWUUMM!'
With the pressure on his legs, as well as the martial ability enveloped by his Ki, Arata jumped the hull. His leap caused the rock he was treading to crumble.
In the air, he rubbed his right hand. His eyes, which were still wide, looked different. The cornea of the eye that should be round like humans in general, does not apply to it at this moment. His eyes are pointy—like a Dragon. The white part of his eyes also underwent a change—not white, but black.
At the same time, the white-haired Crown Prince recalled his father's words when he was a child. At that time, he was being trained in the dojo.

"Remember this, Arata!" Zero raised his voice. "The key to wearing Ki is not to hit or kick at certain points.
"Wearing Ki isn't that simple!"
"Blows or kicks that have Ki, or even attacks of some kind of magic from Ki, all the power you get inside your body should not be expended at once!
"If you do, those energies that are centered behind your stomach will hurt you."
The little Arata who already had a little form of muscle in some parts of the body such as his arms and stomach, frowned. "Ehh...? So, how should I do?"
"By birth.
"Renew the energy you have accumulated, as if you were stirring water. Until the water calmed down again, the water did not experience any shock. Do it like that!
"However, if you can't and get a knock in draining Ki from the stomach to the body you want to use, just imagine the worst."
"Well prepared! I'll try to make it happen, Father!
"But ... How do I do it?"
......................
"I am your failed son, father. No matter how I train myself, I always meet a great wall.
"My failure to meet your great expectations made me a material teaser, dropped your big name, and finally made me into your own experimental material.
"Countable by me how many Dragons have you given me power. What do you expect with all that?
"At first I could only obey you, because I thought it was the best way after my mother died. I never knew the cause of my mother's death either!
"The palace documents, the servants and guards of the palace, the soldiers, even to my own people, they all seemed to close their eyes and ears.
"But .. after Hitomi showed me her strength and plan, I began to know slowly what she really wanted to do with Mr. Carlou, father.
"Eternal dominance and power throughout the world, fill it with the power you call absolute from the Dragons.
"But the presence of Zeeta makes you foggy. Hitomi's plan to destroy this world by presenting the Giant's world, is also beyond your expectations.
"But you know...? I don't like all that. To be honest, I was fed up with all of this, to the point that my ideals of wanting to become a great Emperor like my own father, turned into wanting to live a relaxed life.
"If my punch still can't control Ki properly this can defeat Zeeta who is right in front of my eyes, even if life is the bet...."
......................
"I'D GIVE IT TO YOU!
From the fist to Arata's right elbow, a kind of blue-red-purple aura emerged that became one. The dark sky of the moonlit night, momentarily diverted by the glare of the arm.
'DHUWAK! BWHAMS! WHOA...!!'
His punch gave a loud bang. Even the surrounding water immediately receded as it created a wide crack. At the same time there was also a cracking sound, but it was uncertain the sound was coming from the ground or from the Dark Lord. Unfortunately, the splashes of water are quite a lot because the blow itself blinds Arata.
.

.
.
When the water has subsided as a whole, including splashes of water, Arata can smile widely.
The Darkness Ruler's neck was twisted ninety degrees to his right arm. There are also severe scars that damage the cheeks and remove the teeth. There were no signs of movement from him.
But then....
In front of Arata, which means near his left head, a circle appears that reads Rune Hagalaz.
"What's this?!" exciting Arata.
As if treated to a jumpscare, at that time Arata also saw the Dark Lord's neck upright as ever, as well as the wound on the left cheek, and his teeth were loose.
Turning slowly as if a horror figure, the Dark Lord looked at Arata for a moment though without eyes. He slowly smiled. "It's a shame, yeah!" fun sneered.
"Well, what are you really?!"
Without being able to figure out the answer, Arata suddenly crashes with his right arm severed....
