Hyun Woo didn't even pause.
His voice came out quiet.
"Forgiveness?"
He looked down at them — both kneeling, shaking, their faces pale and wet with sweat.
He smirked a little, just barely.
"You think someone like me forgives?"
He lifted his hand slowly.
"Punishment."
The golden chains started to tighten around them.
Their souls tightened, light flaring around them.
Then the light burst through the hall, and when it faded, everything was different.
They were back in the same house.
Same room.
[ Judgment Strike — Phase 1: Reflection — Starting ]
[ Sin Detected ]
[ Manifestation: Sin Beast — Eidara, The Mirror Wraith ]
[ Aspect: Soul Distortion ]
[ Effect: Forces the sinner to wear the image of those they mocked. The body transformed to reflect their cruelty. ]
Suddenly, the chains started to rattle.
From one chain, a small golden light came out, floating in the air.
The light from it grew brighter for a second.
Then the Sin Beast appeared from the light.
