Outside Ashenfall – Twilight Field
The wind had stopped.
Birds disappeared.
Grass froze mid-sway.
Sound itself… vanished.
And in the stillness, he arrived.
NULL_OMEGA.
Cloaked in silence.
Faceless. Formless. Absolute.
Rin drew Soulburn slowly, staring down the assassin.
> "You're not the first thing they've sent to erase me."
The assassin tilted its head.
> No words. Just... emptiness.

This battle wouldn't be recorded.
This battle wouldn't be remembered—
Unless one survived.

⚡ First Clash – Soundless Speed
NULL moved.
The blade of pure silence sliced through air, turning wind into vacuum.
Rin parried.
Barely.
> CLANG?
No sound.
Each blow erased echoes.
Each step rewrote air.
But then—Soulburn pulsed.
And a voice rang out in Rin's mind.
> "You can't hear him. But I can."

✨ Soulburn Awakens Further
> [Upgrade Detected: Soulburn – Phase III: "Voice of the Forgotten"]
[Effect: Interprets silent attacks as emotional intent.]
> "He doesn't just want to erase you," Soulburn said.
> "He wants to erase the idea of you."
Rin growled.
> "Then let's give him something eternal."

⚔️ Reversal – Rin Takes the Fight to NULL
Rin's foot slammed the earth—cracking the void.
His blade flared in arcs of violet and blue, echoing forgotten moments.
With every swing, his body remembered more.
A smile. A child's laughter.
A fight for someone worth breaking the world for.
NULL dodged… until he couldn't.
One strike grazed his cloak—
And the system SCREAMED.

⚠️ Meanwhile – Lilith's Evolution Begins
In the infirmary, Lilith convulsed.
Her aura twisted into threads of light and void.
> [Bloodline State: Abyssheart Overclock – Sync Ratio Exceeded]
[Warning: User may become unstable]
She gasped, eyes glowing completely black.
> "Papa… if you die… everything dies with you."

🩸 Final Clash – The Blade Breaks Silence
NULL raised his blade for the final strike.
It wasn't fast.
It wasn't flashy.
It was absolute.
Rin raised Soulburn—one hand shaking, the other steady with purpose.
> "This sword was made from memory."
> "And no matter what you erase—"
"You can't kill what I refuse to forget."
He struck.
NULL shattered.
Like silence breaking.

☁️ Aftermath – First Death of a Divine Assassin
Ashenfall fell quiet again.
Real quiet.
Natural quiet.
Lilith slowly opened her eyes.
And somewhere deep in the system…
A god whispered:
> "He's not rewriting us anymore."
> "He's replacing us."
