THUD!
Lilith's headless body collapsed to the ground.
All the students saw it, their eyes wide open in shock.
Moment ago, they had struggled to even stood in her presence, but It doesn't even took him a second to finish her off.
Moment passed—
Their minds failed to register what had just happened.
But then, they finally saw him.
A figure clad in black, his right hand gripping a sleek silver katana, and in his left—a severed head.
Lilith's head.
He held it by her black hair, crimson blood dripping onto the dirt below.
Under the moonlight, his white hair shimmered, his face concealed behind a black metallic mask. The Hero Association's insignia gleamed on his right chest, and on his left—a single glowing number:
01
The savior of humanity.
The god among all men.
The one feared by demons.
The strongest human known to mankind.
The name that shattered despair.
The name that shook the world.
The name that brought back hope.
"Hope…" someone whispered.
