Scene – Lal and Hima both notice him.Scene – Suddenly, more enemies appear.Hima – Who are you?!Elf – Hihihi… my name is Kavin. (crazy tone)

Scene – Mega returns to Lal.Mega – Master, this person is different from the others.Hima (in mind) – What the… a talking beast?! Just who is this person?

Lal – I see.Kavin – Hey child, who are you? Why are you interfering in my mission?Lal – Look, I have nothing to do with you, but if someone's in danger, I can't just ignore it. If you wanted to complete your mission, you should've done it somewhere I wasn't. Because in this entire world, I'm the only one you should truly fear. (calm → sharp dangerous tone)

Kavin – Hahaha, what a joke! Hihihi, you can't kill me.Lal – Oh yeah? These enemies aren't real, right? (with a smile)Kavin – Ah?! (shocked)Hima – What do you mean?Kavin – Princess, hihihi, he's right. These are just dolls I created. I can make as many as I want, whenever I want. Hihihihi. (calm, mocking tone)

Hima (in mind) – What! (shocked) So that's why enemies kept coming endlessly… he was secretly making them!Hima – But now it's game over, Kavin. You can't handle two things at once.Kavin – Hihihi, right, I can't… but when did I ever say I only fight with dolls? Hihihihi. (crazy tone)

Lal (in mind) – ! This princess…

Hima – Who sent you here?!Kavin – What will you do even if you know? Either way, you'll die today. Hihihi. (sharp tone)

Scene – Lal uses the skill on Hima, shielding her.

Kavin – Red Water Punch! (a punch that drains 30% blood on contact and damages muscles)Scene – He targets Lal.Kavin – Die!! Hihihi.

Scene – Lal doesn't move, and just as Kavin's punch is 3 inches away, Lal's Halahal skill activates.Scene – The punch lands, but it carries no power at all—not even as much as a normal punch.

Kavin – What the—?! Why does my hand hurt all of a sudden?! Hihihi… (panicked) He took no damage?!

Scene – Kavin's hand loses all strength, moving sluggishly as he struggles to pull it back from Lal.Scene – Lal grabs his hand.

Lal – Done already? (cold tone)Kavin – Hihihi…Lal – Stop laughing!!

Scene – Lal crushes his hand.Kavin – Aagh! Aaaa!!

Scene – He suddenly leaps far back from Lal.Hima – What!

Scene – Mega appears behind him.Mega – Hi. (with a light smile)

Scene – Mega bites his shoulder.Kavin – Aaaaaaaa!

Scene – Mega traps him with his tail and throws him toward Lal.Lal – Diamond Spear.

Scene – A spear made of diamond forms in Lal's hand.Scene – He thrusts it, piercing Kavin directly—killing him instantly.

Hima – You… you killed him!Lal – Yes, I killed him. And I protected you, Princess.Hima – But now how will I know who sent him?! (angry, loud)

Scene – Lal ignores her and walks to the soldiers. Many are dead, but some still alive—severely wounded and unconscious.Lal – Recover.

Scene – The surviving ones are healed.Lal – I've healed those who were alive. The rest are gone.

Hima – Wait, I'm asking you something! Who are you, and what are you doing in the Elf Kingdom?! And where did you find this beast?!Lal (in mind) – She talks so much…

Scene – Lal finally turns and looks at Hima (note: until now, he never looked directly at her—even while protecting her, he cast barriers without seeing her).

Lal (in mind) – Is a goddess standing before me? What beauty…
