The battlefield was drenched in chaos. Screams of the Dark Crocodile Society echoed, mingling with the sound of bones breaking, bodies crashing against walls, and Daniel fists tearing through their ranks with brutal efficiency.
But amidst the carnage, the Speed Faction did not move. They watched.

Jaegyeon Na's sharp eyes narrowed as he observed every punch, every movement Cheon Ma made.
This guy… he isn't just skilled. He's a monster. His fists land like hammers, his speed is terrifying. And his presence… it's suffocating, even for me. A man like that— Jaegyeon clenched his fists. —he's more dangerous than any leader of the Dark Crocodile Society.
His memory flashed back to Cheon Ma's first entrance, that suffocating aura of a dragon. Now, watching him unleash hell, Jaegyeon realized that instinct had been right.
He isn't showing his true self before… this is him. The real Cheon Ma. Cold, merciless… a demon dressed like a man.

Sung Jegal gritted his teeth, eyes wide as Cheon Ma slammed Tao into the ground like trash.
"Th-that… that's not human," he muttered. "No one should be able to fight like that. He's playing with them, like cats with mice."
For the first time, the loud and cocky Sung was silent — fear laced his voice.

Roy Kwon shook his head, watching Cheon Ma brutalize enemies with bone-crushing strikes.
How can he fight like that without hesitation? Every strike he makes is clean, brutal, efficient… no wasted movement. He's not just a warrior… he's an executioner.
Roy swallowed, forcing himself to stay calm. But the thought lingered in his mind: If this man turned his fists on us… none of us would survive.

Boknam Lee trembled slightly, his fists clenching. He remembered earlier how Cheon Ma's very presence felt like a beast ready to pounce.
Now, seeing him laughing like a mad demon while breaking the Dark Society's leaders one by one, he understood.
He's not just a beast. He's the predator of predators.

Sebastian Kang lowered his head, his jaw tight. He remembered his own fight with Cheon Ma, how his strongest punch was brushed aside like nothing.
Now, as he saw Cheon Ma slam Mugak head to the ground and wrestle Cheonmu like a ragdoll before slamming to him, Sebastian finally admitted it aloud.
"…I never stood a chance. He was toying with me. If he had fought me seriously, I'd be dead. Instantly."
The others turned to him in shock, but Sebastian's face was dead serious.

Even Yeowool Ha, who always maintained a neutral and apathetic face, couldn't hide the flicker in her eyes. Watching Cheon Ma slaughter without remorse, yet protect that child earlier, twisted something inside her.
What are you, Cheon Ma? A hero? Or a devil?
Her lips pressed tightly together. She hated to admit it, but part of her felt relieved.
If he's our enemy, we're doomed. But if he's truly on our side… maybe we finally have a chance to end this war.

As Daniel stood tall amidst the fallen bodies, laughter echoing like a demon from hell, the Speed Faction all shared the same thought.
He was not a mere ally.
He was not just another fighter.
Cheon Ma was a force of nature.
A demon in human skin.
And whether that demon saved them or destroyed them… depended on his will alone.
