10: CHAPTER 6: The End Of The Yun Family Of The Kazar: Part 03.
Chapter 6: The End of the Yun Zia Family of Kazar (Part 3) As the last remnants of his strength slipped away, Koto’s vision became blurred.
The desperate cries of Emperor Yun Shen gradually faded into the distance.
Instead…
Memories from long ago surfaced within his mind.
“Your Majesty…” “Forgive me…” Koto slowly closed his eyes as his thoughts drifted back ten years.
At that time, he was still a young guardian of the Yun Family.
For generations, the Koto’s Family had served the Yun bloodline with unwavering loyalty.
His father had protected the previous emperor.
His grandfather had done the same.
It was a duty passed down through countless generations.
After Koto’s parents died when he was still a child, he inherited that responsibility.
Protecting the Yun Family became the sole purpose of his life.
One night, while carrying out an important mission outside the capital, alarming news reached him.
“The Yun Family has been assassinated!” Without a second thought, Koto abandoned his mission and rushed back to the Imperial Palace.
His heart pounded violently.
‘No…’ ‘Please don’t let it be true…’ He arrived before dawn.
The palace gates stood wide open.
An eerie silence filled the halls.
No guards.
No servants.
Only the smell of blood.
As Koto hurried deeper inside the palace, he froze.
The magnificent throne hall had become a sea of crimson.
Bodies lay scattered across the floor.
The Emperor…
The Empress…
The royal princes…
Every member of the Yun Family lay lifeless.
Standing alone in the middle of the corpses…
…was Yun Shen.
His luxurious robes were stained with blood.
A dagger dripped fresh crimson onto the marble floor.
His face wore a twisted smile.
Then…
He laughed.
A loud…
Mad…
Heartless laugh.
“Father!” “You always said I wasn’t worthy of becoming Emperor!” “You believed my brothers were better than me!” He looked down at the Emperor’s corpse.
“Now look at me.” “I became Emperor after all.” His smile widened into something horrifying.
“You should be proud of me…” “…shouldn’t you?” He burst into laughter once more.
The sound echoed throughout the blood-soaked throne room.
Koto stood frozen.
His entire world collapsed before his eyes.
The Yun Family…
Had never been assassinated by another empire.
They had been murdered…
By their own son.
For a long time, Koto couldn’t move.
His hands trembled.
His heart screamed in despair.
Yet…
In the end…
He slowly lowered his head.
“No matter what…” “Me and My Family exists to serve the Yun bloodline.” “Whether he deserves it or not…” “He is the last of the Yun Family.” “That is enough.” From that day onward…
Koto dedicated his life to protecting Yun Shen.
Even though he knew the terrible truth.
Back in the present…
Koto slowly opened his eyes.
His vision was fading.
His breathing had almost stopped.
He looked toward the Emperor one last time.
Yun Shen wasn’t mourning him.
He wasn’t grateful.
Instead, he continued screaming.
“Koto!” “Get up!” “You useless fool!” “I ordered you to protect me!” “Stand up!” “SAVE ME!!” A faint smile appeared on Koto’s blood-covered face.
“So…” “This…” “…is how it ends.” Those were his final words.
His body became completely still.
The guardian of the Yun Family had died.
Shadow silently watched the scene.
For a brief moment…
Neither he nor KING spoke.
Then both brothers slowly rose into the sky.
Far above the ruined palace, they stopped.
The dark clouds above began to swirl violently.
The heavens trembled.
An overwhelming pressure descended upon the entire imperial capital.
Everyone instinctively looked upward.
“What…” “What is that?” The sky itself seemed to split apart.
A blazing object emerged from the clouds.
At first…
It looked like a distant star.
Then it grew larger.
And larger.
Until everyone finally realized the horrifying truth.
It was a meteor.
A gigantic meteor.
Its size rivaled that of a small town.
Its blazing flames painted the heavens crimson.
The immense heat distorted the air itself.
Panic instantly spread across the imperial capital.
“Run!” “It’s the end!” “Save the children!” “We’re all going to die!” People abandoned everything they owned.
Families embraced one another as they desperately fled through the streets.
Countless citizens cried.
Others prayed.
Some simply stood frozen in despair.
Meanwhile…
Yun Shen collapsed onto the shattered ground.
His legs had completely given out.
As he stared at the descending meteor…
He saw only one thing.
“Death”.
“N-No…” “This can’t be happening…” “I am the Emperor!” “I command this empire!” “I cannot die!” He screamed toward the heavens.
“STOP IT!” “PLEASE!!” Neither KING nor Shadow answered.
Their eyes remained cold.
Without mercy.
Without hesitation.
With a simple motion of their hands…
The meteor descended.
The world held its breath.
Then— BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A cataclysmic explosion shook the entire empire.
The Imperial Palace disappeared instantly.
A massive shockwave tore through the capital like a divine punishment.
Buildings were ripped apart.
Stone walls crumbled into dust.
The earth split open.
Flames engulfed everything in their path.
Within moments…
The Yun Zia Imperial Palace had ceased to exist.
Along with it…
Half of the imperial city was erased from the face of the world.
High above the sea of fire…
KING and Shadow silently watched the destruction below.
Neither celebrated.
Neither smiled.
To them…
This was simply another step on their journey.
Without another word…
The twin brothers turned away and disappeared into the distant sky.
Behind them…
The Yun Zia Family of Kazar had finally come to an end.
