Four years ago, Tohito gently took Zamfiu's cold hand.
Tohito: [Alright, I accept the deal]
Zamfiu smiled.
Zamfiu: [You must be ready for the consequences, you might trample your beliefs, you might not hesitate when killing someone, you'll become a monster]
Tohito took a trembling breath.
Tohito: [I'm ready]
A halo of magical energy flowed from Zamfiu's body into Tohito's.
Zamfiu: [Your body could only handle this level of magical energy, if I gave you more, you might have exploded right here]

Tohito lifted Mofa's corpse.
Tohito: [I wish I had killed him differently, his body can handle more magical energy than mine, well... looks like I need to create a body]
Tohito whispered under his breath.
Tohito: [Create]
A massive surge of magical energy burst from Tohito's body, swirling like a gigantic tornado. When the tornado stopped, a body identical to Tohito's had been created.
Tohito flashed a playful smile.
Tohito: [Perfect, now it's time for the switch]
Tohito whispered again.
Tohito: [Transfer]
Tohito's soulless body collapsed onto the stony ground, and his soul transferred to the new body.
Tohito slowly moved his hands and feet.
Tohito: [Perfect, now, let's go save the others]

Aiko struggled to stay calm.
Aiko: [When you were on the mission, how many people were there?]
Haru swallowed hard.
Haru: [67 people]
Aiko's eyes widened at the information.
Aiko: [67 people? This just got a lot harder, do you think you can beat them?]
Haru said with an anxious tone.
Haru: [Obviously not, they're 67...]
Haru paused.
Haru: [I'll try my best]
Aiko smiled but her smile quickly faded.
Aiko: [I can sense the magical energy of 64 people]
Haru's eyes widened.
Haru: [So what happened to the other three?]
Aiko: [We don't have time for-]
Aiko saw an orange light speeding toward her face. She sensed it; there was no way to dodge, she would die. Aiko slowly closed her eyes.
???: [That was close]
Aiko opened her eyes at the familiar voice, a boy with black hair and eyes stood in front of her, holding the orange light in his hands.
Tohito: [Thank God, if I had arrived a bit later, who knows what would've happened]
Aiko's eyes began to shed tears, as if a rain had started pouring.
Aiko: [Tohito...]
Tohito flashed a playful smile.
Tohito: [I missed you t-]
Tohito's words were cut off by a gentle kiss from Aiko. Tohito's eyes widened in surprise, quickly turning into a warm smile.
Tohito: [I'm glad you're oka-]
Before Tohito could finish, a fist struck him from behind, sending him to the ground.
Haru: [You jerk, I thought you were dead, how many lives do you have?]
Haru wore a deep frown but tried not to cry.
Aiko covered her mouth with her hands and laughed softly.
Aiko: [You should've seen Haru when he thought you were dead]
Haru blushed.
Haru: [No way, she's lying]
Tohito gave a reassuring smile.
Tohito: [Sorry for worrying you, but now I have to kill 64 people]
Aiko gently took Tohito's hand and said with concern.
Aiko: [This time, keep your promise... I can't lose you again]
Tohito gently squeezed Aiko's hand.
Tohito: [Alright]
Tohito snapped his fingers and teleported outside the house. The area around them was filled with the corpses of ordinary people, their blood staining the asphalt street. Tohito whispered in a cold tone.
Tohito: [You can come out now]
All 64 appeared, and one of them stepped forward.
Number 1: [I'm Number 1, looks like you're tired of living if you came-]
Number 1's eyes widened in shock.
Number 1: [You're the one Commander Mofa killed... but how?]
Tohito smirked dryly.
Tohito: [Commander?... The one whose corpse is rotting in some ruins?]
Number 1 began to tremble.
Number 1: [You... killed him?... N... no way... you're lying-]
Tohito snapped his fingers, and time stopped.
Tohito muttered to himself.
Tohito: [If I kill them here, it'll be too bloody, better take them to the void]
Tohito whispered under his breath.
Tohito: [Create, black void]
Black walls began to form, as if an infinite bucket of paint had been poured over the universe.
Tohito snapped his fingers, and time resumed.
All the Numbers began to panic and scream.
Number 1: [Where is this? How did you do that?]
Tohito gave a cold smile.
Tohito: [Welcome to my domain, it's called the void, now let's get started]
Number 1 shouted.
Number 1: [All together, attack him, he can't dodge everything!]
Light-based magic formed into spear shapes.
Number 1: [Hit him!]
Hundreds of light magic spears came at Tohito one after another. Tohito whispered under his breath.
Tohito: [Copy magic, erase magic]
All the light magic disappeared instantly, as if it never existed.
Tohito whispered under his breath.
Tohito: [Shadow magic, shadow orb, 10,000 times]
A shadowy orb began to form, like a sphere made of shadows.
Tohito: [Multiple magic, enhance]
With the activation of enhance magic, the orb began to grow larger.
Tohito whispered under his breath.
Tohito: [Freeze]
All the Numbers froze, their bodies completely immobilized. Number 1 screamed in desperation.
Number 1: [Wait, don't kill us!]
Tohito released the shadow orb toward them; the orb devoured everything near it, like a starving beast hunting its prey. Tohito said in a cold tone: [And why should I do that?]
In a fraction of a second, nothing remained but blood that filled the entire void.
