The blood covered his whole white robe in red.Many bodies lie on the floor around the green-haired teen, indicating how intense the battle was.Standing in front of the injured green-haired teen was a teen named Kaal with long jet-black hair and deep black eyes, with a handsome face with a dominating aura.By piercing the sword in the chest of the green-haired teen, Kaal said with a smirk on his face, “Finally, the dog died...”.Taking out the cursed soul orb, Kaal read the memory of the green-haired Raven.“HAHAHA HAHAHA, so that was his secret. a soul from another blue planet called Earth possessed the body of Raven...” Kaal said while laughing.Like a story of a novel on his planet.
