Varak burst into loud laughter, his voice echoing with mockery. HAHAH! “My wife?” he said sarcastically. “Aurora was born to be my true partner. You are the one who suddenly married her. You took her from me, so now I have the right to take her back.” Max’s gaze hardened. “She is mine,” he replied calmly but coldly. “A human like her is not meant to be the true partner of a demon like you.” Varak laughed again. “Whatever you say means nothing. Aurora is still mine.” He dismissed Max with a mocking nod. “And know this on purpose. Aurora is no longer human. Her soul has been fully exchanged into a demon. You came too late. Aurora is already gone.” Varak threw those words like a knife aimed at Max’s heart. He wanted to see cracks, doubt, or panic on Max’s face. He wanted Max to break before the real fight even began. But the opposite happened. Max stood calm, too calm. His gaze did not change, his breathing stayed steady, and there was no tremor in his aura. He looked at Varak as

Tsahik took a deep breath and finally obeyed Max’s order. He did not move forward, but he did not stay idle either. In a low and quick voice, he began to share the information he knew. “The real number of the gate guardian demons is not as many as it looks,” he said while staring at the sea of figures before them. “At first, there were only dozens.” Max kept his gaze straight ahead, calm, as if he were judging the battlefield. “But they have the ability to replicate,” Tsahik continued. “One demon can split into dozens. Dozens become hundreds. Hundreds become thousands. The longer the fight lasts, the greater their numbers grow.” Max nodded slowly, his eyes sweeping over the demon ranks that now filled the front yard of Mansion Jae. From afar, they truly looked like thousands of war soldiers, filling every corner with savage auras and thick killing intent. Without looking back at Tsahik, Max asked in a flat voice, “Are they all Varak’s subordinates?” “Yes,” Tsahik answered withou

“WHO is that human?” Varak shouted, his voice echoing loudly inside the vast stone chamber. The demon kneeling before him flinched, then swallowed hard before answering. “His name is Max, Prince.” That single name fell like a hammer. Varak went silent. For a moment, his entire aura froze. The rage in his eyes narrowed, as if fragments of memory were fitting together on their own. The human who had tainted his plans from the very beginning. “Max…” Varak murmured softly, almost like a restrained growl. He knew. There was no need for a long explanation. Max did not come for power. That human came for only one thing. Aurora. Varak clenched his jaw, his breathing growing heavy. “So he has come to take her back,” he said coldly, though pressure hid beneath his voice. “How very bold.” He turned sharply, his cloak brushing across the stone floor. “I will not let him ruin all of my plans,” he said loudly. Varak stared at his subordinate with a deadly gaze. “Mobilize the troops.

Night slowly fell over Jae Mansion. The sky above the demon world was dark red, like dying embers, while the wall clock inside the mansion showed exactly seven o clock. Torchlight burned along the corridors, casting long shadows that crawled across the black stone walls. At the far end of the mansion stood a large room that was rarely visited. The space felt quieter than the rest of the mansion, as if it had been deliberately separated from the noise of life within. Aurora stood by her bedroom window, staring outside without truly seeing anything. Since the afternoon, a strange feeling had settled in her chest, a feeling she could not explain. Her bedroom door slowly opened. “Madam Aurora,” Liora’s voice sounded gentle but controlled. “I wish to tell you something.” Aurora turned. “What is it?” Liora stepped inside and closed the door behind her. “Tonight, at nine o clock, there will be a celebration at the mansion.” “A celebration?” Aurora frowned. “What kind of celebration?”

Liora answered, “Ah yes, I am very tired, and sleeping for too long only made me feel more exhausted.” “Well, I understand,” Aurora said, “because before you have been through many difficult things in my house.” Liora gave a tired smile. She was pretending. The truth was that she was exhausted from preparing the ritual for tonight. There would be a ritual of union, or marriage, between Varak and Aurora. Not only that, Aurora would be fully transformed into a demon. *** Elsewhere, at the Third Gate… Black smoke still slowly rose from Tsahik’s body, marking his absolute defeat. The black robed demon now knelt before Max, his head lowered in full awareness. The arrogant aura that once surrounded him had vanished, replaced by a strange calm that only belonged to those who had accepted the result of battle without denial. Tsahik lifted his head slightly and spoke in a heavy but steady voice. He said that he wished to follow Max, not merely to open the way to the next gate, but

Meanwhile, at Jae Mansion, the morning passed quietly, as if the world beyond its walls was not in turmoil. Aurora had just finished breakfast with Varak. They sat facing each other, just the two of them, in an atmosphere made warm and intimate. No servants stood too close. No disturbing sounds were present. Everything felt orderly, carefully arranged so that Aurora would feel comfortable. After that, Varak invited her to walk behind the mansion. “There is something I want to show you,” Varak said lightly. Aurora followed him without suspicion. Behind the mansion stood a large gazebo surrounded by a garden. As Aurora stepped closer, her eyes widened. A vast spread of flowers stretched out before her, colorful and neatly arranged, as if the garden had existed for a long time. The air was filled with a gentle, calming scent that made anyone who entered feel at peace. Yet the garden was not a real garden. It was a false one. A garden deliberately created. Varak knew one thing ver
