Read chapter 41 of Arc of the Souls by Noyr on NovelPedia.

A damaging time period with very little means of survival. As the ends of the galaxy has been conquered by a dark mist and ominous power, who knows how much time is left for those who remain. "I thought it would've been a fine night, tonight... I guess I was wrong. Fuck everything..." As she ran through the destroyed/abandoned city, she was attempting to hide from whatever was chasing her prior. "I have to find my way back... At this rate I'll be as good as dead if I get spotted again." She was clearly exhausted, her feet were tired, her breathing was ragged, and her vision was blurry. It didn't help that her mind was racing as well. Meanwhile, in the other side of the city, Kaioshun and his squadron would scour the area looking for a special asset. She tried to keep her composure, holding back a burst of tears was more of a challenge than anything for her. She peeked out in the open, trying to make sure the area was clear before vaulting over chunks of debris and kept running. She stopped. "Where is he... Oh no... Oh no no no... FUCK! I have a terrible feeling about this..." She looked around, already feeling a disturbing presence. A dark mist appeared before Kaioshun and his squadron. "What has taken you this long? I gave you an opportunity to wipe them out. Is it so hard to take care of Jumkou Katatoria and her ally?" The mist glared at him. "We've looked around this part of the city, we're just about to scavenge the rest." "He is coming... the last remaining Soul-Wielder of fundamental power. After you and your men deal with him, this galaxy is completed by our hands. But before you finish him... Confiscate his Soul. Because something urgent has to be taken care of afterwards." Kaioshun nodded. "Very well." Quickly, Kaioshun began to send his troops to the other side of town. They were advancing swiftly. This place was barren, and the streets were littered with nothing but broken buildings, glass and trash. This galaxy was truly beyond repair. What happened? Everyone has died, no light was shining, and the moon was eclipsed by the planet. "KAIOSHUN!!!" Someone shouted, standing on a destroyed building. "... You." Kaioshun muttered. The warrior dropped down, slamming the ground before him. "Don't think you forgot about me already, huh? I've dealt with your men and now I will deal with YOU!" The warrior was full of anger and had no intention of backing down. He charged towards him, aiming an iron fist. Meanwhile, Jumkou heard the shout across the city. "Shit!" She began running towards the direction where the shout came from. "Looking a little red there, hm?" Kaioshun said, clearly antagonizing the warrior. "I'm done with you terrorizing this whole plan- no... this WHOLE GALAXY! It's time you paid the price!" The warrior began charging up his Soul-Energy, before yelling. "SOUL-RELEASE!" Basically by uncapping his Soul-Energy, he was ready to fight at his fullest. "Didn't want to result to this..." Kaioshun tapped the ground with his feet, the area around him inverted all the colours present. "Hell with your tricks!" The warrior aimed his hand at him, releasing a power beam going his direction. However, as the inverted area absorbed the blast, the warrior could do nothing but look and haunt himself with his own disappointment. "You're pretty special... however, I'm not just going to let you thwart our entire plan. It's just you and that girl. It's over, give up." "Kaioshun..." The warrior hissed through his teeth as the entire area slowly returned to its colour. He then swarmed in on him, using melee attacks instead. Despite his anger, he is formidable in hand-to-hand combat. Kaioshun would land an elbow into the warrior, following up by kneeing him in the face and finally, he smacks the man into a nearby building with a wave of Soul-Energy. Even then, it was obvious he stood no chance against Kaioshun, but he still didn't give up. He climbed out of the building, yelling at him. "EVEN IF YOU DO SUCCEED! WHAT THEN!? THERE'S NO
