All eyes turned towards the entrance of the hall where Sunoo stood, his figure silhouetted against the dim moonlight filtering through the broken windows. His presence seemed to radiate Scarlett energy, his gaze locked onto Bloodmae with unwavering resolve.
In one swift motion, Sunoo unleashed a surge of power beside Jinwoo, targeting the guard Void standing vigilantly beside the Bloodmae. Scarlett energy surged through the air, slamming into the Void with such force that it was thrown back against the stone wall, dissipating into nothingness.
Bloodmae's expression darkened, surprise flickering in his eyes before he masked it with a sneer. "Impressive," he muttered, his voice dripping with venom. "But do you honestly believe adding one more will make a difference? Your feeble attempts to defy me end here."
Haewon exchanged a glance with Sunghoon, their unspoken communication clear. Despite the odds stacked against them, they stood together, united in purpose and strength. Sunoo's arrival had shifted the balance, tipping it in their favor even as Bloodmae continued to underestimate their resolve.
Sunghoon stepped forward, his voice steady and resolute. "We've faced you before, Bloodmae," he declared, Scarlett energy pulsing around him. "And this time, we'll end it."
With a silent nod, Haewon and the others closed ranks around Sunghoon and Sunoo. They moved forward as one, Scarlett energy blazing brighter with each step, ready to confront the darkness that had haunted them for so long. The hall reverberated with their combined power, the air thick with anticipation as they prepared for the final battle against Bloodmae and his minions.
Suddenly, from the shadowy corridor to their left, the unmistakable sound of struggle reached their ears. Haewon's senses sharpened instantly, her body tensing as she exchanged a quick glance with Sunghoon.
Two Void guards emerged, dragging a figure between them. The woman fought against her captors fiercely, her muffled cries for help barely audible through the fabric bag covering her head. Her hands were bound with chains, her struggles futile against the supernatural strength of the Voids.
Sunoo's heart sank as he recognized the struggle and the desperate plea for help.
Haewon's heart sank as the bag was removed from the woman's head, revealing Minji, her face streaked with tears and fear etched into every line of her expression. Sunghoon's grip tightened on his blade, his eyes narrowing in disbelief and anger. Sunoo stood frozen, a mix of horror and helplessness written across his features.
Bloodmae's cruel smirk widened as he observed the Scarletts' reactions with sadistic satisfaction. "Ah, the precious Minji," he taunted, his voice laced with venomous amusement. "It seems fate has delivered you into my hands."
