SWNOVELXO Chapter 58: – The Ruin, the Judgment, and the Reversum
[Battlefield – Sky Above HeroCity]
The clouds were torn apart by a burst of stellar light.On one side stood Kelvin Nox, leader of the Guild of a Thousand Lights, his glowing violet eyes burning like furious constellations.On the other… Ezeron, Supreme Herald of Kairon. Star devourer. Executioner of supernovas.
Ezeron:"You… are strong."(Miniature suns orbit his arms.)"Let's see if you can survive… a stellar collapse."
He hurled a blazing orb that melted the very air.
BOOOOM!
The city below quaked.But Kelvin remained… untouched.
He smiled.
Kelvin:"I am Ruin, Ezeron.The one who embraced his own shadow."
His body gleamed—Then vanished.
[Transformation Activated – Shadow Instinct]
Kelvin Nox dissolved into shadow.He was no longer a man.He was the absence of light—the embodiment of destruction.
He walked calmly, time and space bending around his presence like he no longer belonged to this reality.
Ezeron's eyes widened.
Ezeron:"Y-You're... not even in reality anymore?!"
Kelvin raised his blade.
Kelvin:"Yami no Shinpan: Shūen."(Judgment of the Dark's End.)
From the sky, a dome of pure darkness descended.Sunlight vanished. Sound disappeared.
Spectral spears erupted from the ground, the sky—Even from the enemy's own memories.
Ezeron (screaming):"What are these things?!"
Kelvin (cold):"Soul Spears.They don't pierce flesh.They destroy… the spirit."
And then… the final blow.
Kelvin:"Shadow Ruin: Final Judgment."
A colossal cross-shaped slash of void energy descended from the sky, edged in glowing violet.The entire city watched in silence.Ezeron tried to resist—He failed.
His body vanished in a flare of ethereal ash.
[Elsewhere – Forest Outside HeroCity]
Ryan (screaming):"AGH—!"
He convulsed on the ground,Aura black with galaxy-blue edges pulsing violently from his body like a universe begging to be freed.
Ethan clenched his fists.
Ethan:"Damn it… the Reversum's out of control!"
Portals opened.Monsters emerged.
Kane took stance, breathing heavy.
Kane:"Great… monsters now? And Zen and Dante are down!"
Ethan (commanding):"Abby, Ryu! Cover the south sector!Annie, take Eliara north—now!"
Annie:"What about her?"
Eliara (stepping forward):"I'll go. I'm done hiding."
Ethan (shocked):"Wait—you can fight?!"
Eliara:"I absorbed part of Kai's power... enough to help.And after this… can I ask you something?"
Ethan (blushing):"W-What...?"
Eliara (smiling):"A date.A real one this time."
Ethan (turning away):"J-Just go already!"
Annie:"Take care of Yan, please."
Ethan:"Hang in there, Ryan."
Ryan (screaming):"ARRRGHHHHHHHH!"
His aura erupted into a cosmic storm.
The earth cracked.The forest darkened.The sky… trembled.
[All Eyes on the Reversum]
The Heralds of Kairon stopped.Ezeron was gone.All eyes turned to the new anomaly.
Inavy clenched his fists.
Inavy:"Reversum…"
Kai Hayashi, floating beside Arcanis, smirked.
Kai:"So this is the boy I was looking for.How does someone without an aura… wield power like this?"
Inavy (furious):"Over my dead body!"
Kai (grinning):"That can be arranged."
Arcanis floated forward toward Ryan.
Arcanis:"That boy is mine."
BOOM!
A flash of light—a strike from above.
Lorien Valtier appeared, kicking Arcanis back 30 meters.
Lorien:"Wrong target, freak."
[Back to the Forest]
Ethan tried to reach Ryan.
Ethan:"Bro… come on! It's me!Ethan! Your brother!"
But Ryan…Wasn't there anymore.
He levitated.
Aura of galaxy-blue and shadow black condensed around his body.His eyes had no pupils.His smile—empty.
His voice… void.
Ryan:"Me…?I am... the Reversum."
📍 FADE TO BLACK
