Javier's voice dropped to a deadly, cutting tone, sharp as a blade unsheathed.
"And let me tell you one important thing."
His eyes, hidden beneath the oni mask, burned with a fierce light.
The wind stilled—an unnatural silence blanketed the battlefield, even Buddy quieted, sensing the gravity of Javier's words.
"No matter what you do…"
"...how strong you are…"
"…how great you think you are..."
His voice echoed through the tense air like a cursed decree.
"Never. Ever. Make fun of someone's family."
He raised his hand again—slow, deliberate, commanding.
"Especially..."
A pause, a sinister grin behind the mask.
"...when that person happens to be me."
His voice rang across the battlefield, cold as death itself—a final verdict.
"How do you feel? When you can't move… and my knights will slowly behead you?"
Calmly, Javier dismounted Buddy. His armored boots clanged softly as he hit the ground, standing tall like a silent executioner behind the mask.
