🔥 Chapter: The Battle of Silence - Moss vs. Red Chain

"Sometimes the deadliest screams… are the absolute silence."

---

Scene 1: The Gate of War

The swamp was no longer quiet.

The ground was shaking.

The dark clouds seemed to lean down from the sky to watch this battle.

Standing in front was a monstrous monster, with a human body and a crab-like structure, two long arms holding chains made of dragon bones, and a massive hammer on its back.

And in front of him—

Moss.

Silent.

Steady.

But there was a fierce fire in his eyes.

---

Scene 2: A Rain of Strikes

BOOM!

The Crab Monster charged forward. His chain was spinning in the air.

Moss dove to the right. The chain passed over his head.

> SLASH!

Moss struck Crab's leg with his sword—but only sparks flew from his armor.

Crab turned around and slammed his hammer into the ground.

The swamp exploded.

Moss leapt into the air, landed on Crab's back, and struck him six times in a row.

Crab wrapped his chain around him—

> CRACK!!

Moss's ribs broke. Blood oozed out. But he didn't scream.

---

Scene 3: Third Phase—Both Started Breaking Down

One of Crab's eyes had burst.

One of Moss's arms was hanging.

Still the fight continued.

Now both were covered in blood.

Crab swung both his weapons at once.

BOOOOMMMM!!

Moss sank into the ground.

But—

ZOOOOOOOOM!!!

He jumps up and spins in the air—

> X-BLADE ACTIVATED!

The two swords connect.

A fierce blow—straight into Crab's chest.

> THUUUUD!!!

Crab's chest explodes. He falls to his knees.

But Moss falls to the ground, too. He seems to be out of breath.

---

Scene 4: The Silent Victor

And then…

In an instant, all of Moss's injuries heal.

His body rises.

He walks straight to Harvin.

And…

> Moss—knees down.

Harvin looks at him, understands his situation—and smiles.

> Harvin:

"Good job, Moss."

---

Scene 5: A New Soldier—Red Chain

Then Harvin raises his finger.

> "Now make this war immortal…"

The entire army – including Moss and Erawan – turns into smoke and vanishes.

Harvin now stands alone – in front of the Crab King's corpse.

He softly says:

> "Welcome to my army…"

And then:

> Chants the "Sanjeevani Mantra".

The Crab's body trembles.

His broken chest mends.

His eyes open.

And he… falls on his knees in front of Harvin.

Harvin looks at him and thinks…

> "What should I name it…"

> "Yes… 'Red Chain'."

> "From today you are part of my army – Red Chain."

---

Scene 6: Farewell

Harvin looks at him silently.

The Red Chain slowly turns into smoke – and vanishes.

> Harvin (slowly):

"Kelimore Swamp… you are now empty."

🛑 Chapter: Inside the Barrier – Closed Confinement, Open Fear

---

Scene 1: Karachi – Pakistan Hunters Association

3 days before New Delhi

Pakistan Hunters Association headquarters — the alarm is ringing.

Chairman Faraz Khan, an experienced but now tired leader, is shaking with anger.

> Faraz:

"376 people… trapped inside.

And our SSS rank Hunter Ali… is not even in the country?!"

The Vice Chairman says something softly—

> "Sir… should we ask India for help?"

Faraz remains silent for a while, then bangs his hand on the table—

> "Why didn't you think of this earlier!

Call India… now."

Scene 2: Inside the barrier – living hell

Karachi, Defence Housing Sector 9

Where there was happiness earlier, there is now horror… inside a barrier.

The sky is hazy.

The sun is not visible.

Bioluminescent plants, strange smells, and demonic shadows roam in every direction.

A mother is hiding under a broken building holding her 8-year-old son.

> Son (softly):

"Amma… someone will come to save us, right?"

The mother does not answer.

There are only tears in her eyes.

---

Scene 3: Inside the barrier – new monsters

This barrier dungeon is 12 acres in size – but the regular system logic is not working in it.

Monsters don't die here, they are created again.

Some of the monsters look like humans, but they don't have mouths — just eyes and shaky breaths.

Of the 10 hunters who were part of Pakistan's local team, only 2 are alive now.

> Hunter Salim (injured):

"This is not a normal dungeon...

This is some... biological trap."

Another hunter opens a briefcase.

> "We have to stay alive... until someone comes from outside."

---

Scene 4: Fear grips Karachi

Fear is spreading among people outside the barrier as well.

On social media, people are constantly asking questions —

"Why is the barrier not being removed?"

"Is our government hiding something?"

"Has anyone seen anyone alive inside?"

A young reporter, Madiha Hussain, says in a live video —

> "We want answers today... otherwise people will be on the streets."

---

Scene 5: Indian reaction

As soon as the call comes in the Indian Hunter Association—

Rudravir hears it. And gets furious.

> Rudravir (angrily):

"The barrier I went to…

Suddenly disappeared!

And now the same kind of dungeon in Pakistan?!!"

A junior hunter says softly—

> "Sir… Pakistan is asking for help…"

Rudravir takes a deep breath—

> "Okay. Let's leave after 3 days.

But this time… no one will survive."

---

Scene 6: Unknown shadow

Somewhere far away, in the deepest part of the barrier…

A tall figure is standing.

His shadow is moving.

At his feet are human skulls.

And his eyes…

Shine just like death
