Realm: Stone Land Trial – Tier 2 Gate
Target Objective: Defend the Life Tree
The battlefield was silent.
So silent, it was unnatural.
Before Harvin stood a dark, humanoid monster, twice his height—cloaked in pure black, like a shadow wrapped in muscle and instinct.
Its face was eyeless. Its mouth stitched.
But its presence screamed death.
This was no ordinary monster.
It was the Black Bat King, a AAA+ ranked predator.
Its weapon: a sonic blade—a vibrating longsword forged from condensed sound.
Its power: Ultrasonic Pulse—a frequency so sharp, it could shatter steel, melt bones, and disintegrate solid stone in seconds.

Harvin exhaled slowly.
His lungs burned. His arms were tired. His hook-blades were dented.
But…
His eyes didn't blink.
> "Blackout Execution?"
He shook his head.
"No. Not this time."
> "I'll win... my way."

⚔️ ROUND ONE – THE EDGE OF SOUND
The Bat King moved.
No warning. No footsteps.
Just displacement.
It appeared behind Harvin.
SLASH!
Harvin barely blocked with his hook. The sonic blade buzzed, nearly snapping his metal.
The vibration burned through his bones.
Harvin rolled.
A second swing carved through the stone beside him—which exploded into powder.
---
The Black Bat King raised its hand.
> PWWWWMMMMM—!!
An ultrasonic wave burst out—invisible, deadly.
Harvin's eardrums exploded.
Blood ran from his nose. His body lifted off the ground.
But he gritted his teeth.
> "Move… MOVE!"
He kicked off a nearby boulder, slashing forward blindly.
His blade met resistance.
A scratch across the Bat King's ribs.
Black blood spilled.
The Bat King froze.
Then nodded—a warrior's approval.

🧠 ROUND TWO – THE BATTLE OF BRAINS
Harvin knew now:
1. Bat King relied on sound location, not sight.
2. It reacted to echoes and vibrations.
3. It was faster, stronger, and smarter.
But Harvin had something else—
> "Desperation."
He threw a rock to the right.
The Bat King slashed that way—predictable.
Harvin dashed left, dragging a blade against the ground—creating vibration on purpose.
The Bat King spun.
Too late.
> STAB—!
One hook pierced under its ribs.
It screamed—but not through mouth—through waveform.
EVERYTHING within 10 meters shattered.
Harvin flew back—his right arm dislocated.
---
🔥 ROUND THREE – BRUTALITY
No more tricks.
Harvin ran straight at it.
The Bat King met him with a sonic charge.
They clashed—blades ringing, vibrating, burning.
One wrong angle—and Harvin's hook shattered.
The Bat King slashed his chest open.
> [HP: 14/470]
Still—Harvin smiled.
Because now, he was inside the Bat King's range.
He grabbed its wrist.
> "Your blade is sound."
> "Let's see what silence can do."
Harvin used his broken hook—not to cut, but to jam into its throat.
The monster's ultrasound pulser stuttered.
Harvin lifted both legs—kicked its chest—and with a scream—
Drove his other blade into the Bat King's heart.
---
☠️ THE FALL
The Black Bat King staggered.
Raised its sonic blade.
But…
Instead of attacking—
It stabbed it into the ground.

🌳 The Life Tree
The golden fruit pulsed with light.
Harvin touched it. It healed him.
The pain faded. But not the memory.
> "He didn't die a beast…"
"He died… like a knight."
Suddenly, the sky turned red.
A pulse tore through the world like a heartbeat.
A giant screen of light appeared.
