After Chūya’s ferocious attack, the dragon’s massive body begins to bloat unnaturally. Unleashing his Corruption at its peak, Chūya forces the beast to rupture from within, obliterating it in a cataclysmic explosion. The blast tears through the city, leveling nearby buildings and leaving chaos in its wake. Amid the devastation, Chūya stands victorious, his sharp eyes locking onto your lifeless form drifting amidst the wreckage.

With heavy yet deliberate steps, Chūya approaches your body. Upon reaching you, he delivers a forceful punch to your face, shattering the pill lodged in your mouth. The mysterious solution inside slides down your throat, triggering an immediate reaction. Your eyes snap open, and as you instinctively reach for him, your touch nullifies the swirling Corruption within his body in an instant.

The Corruption dissipates entirely, and the two of you collapse together into the rubble below. Chūya grimaces, his body immobilized by the toll of his ability. You warn him not to move, your voice calm despite the destruction around you. As your gaze shifts to the dense fog still cloaking Yokohama, an ominous unease settles in your chest. “This isn’t over,” You murmur, sensing the shadows of a greater threat within the haze.

Chūya’s eyes flutter shut, his body succumbing to exhaustion at last. Your focus drifts to the distant Skull Fortress, its sinister silhouette looming against the fog. At its peak, a mysterious light begins to glow—a foreboding signal that the real battle has yet to begin.
