"You were the one who had a contribution to my skills, so I will not try to let you down, Oh Jaeho," Han Minhyun stated as he gripped tightly on to his sword.

"Well, you—"

Before Oh Jaeho was able to continue talking further, Han Minhyun began to attack him with the sharp icicles from all directions and hoped for those to come in contact against his skin.

The speed for shooting them was the highest Minhyun was able to put in, and at how Jaeho was dodging them while wearing on a small smile on his face, his gaze sharpened.

Two of the icicles scr.a.p.ed against Oh Jaeho's leg, creating wounds on them, and blood flowed down from his leg as he disappeared from that position of his.

Seeing his transportation, Han Minhyun looked at his sides with caution in order to see where Oh Jaeho will be appearing from next.

Instantly sensing a presence from his back, Minhyun moved slightly forward and prevented Jaeho from attacking him by clashing his sword against Jaeho's.

A loud sound was created when both the sword hit each other, and in order to maintain his stability, Minhyun moved slightly back. This could have become fatal for Minhyun if he had reacted slowly.

"I did not expect any less from you, Han Minhyun. You do astonish me with your capabilities. Too bad, you are not on my side," Jaeho said, trying to push Minhyun back with his sword.

Attacking Oh Jaeho's sword with his own, Han Minhyun spoke out, "I am curious to know about how extreme things have gotten for you to betray the clan like this. Last time, I remember you protecting this Clan with your life, but this time around, you are destroying everyone."

"My goal is not exactly to kill everyone. It is merely to finish off those who do not know how to be grateful. I show that King loyalty and protected him yet he dared to look down upon me. That's why, I want to show him the results of what happens when people act too haughty," Jaeho stated.

A groan escaped Han Minhyun's face while he attempted to knock away the sword from Jaeho's hand and said, "Although I do not agree with the King's way of doing the things, it doesn't mean that you have to involve the innocent people into this. I wonder what all those people had done to deserve this."

"I am not a saint," Jaeho voiced out, "That's why, you would not expect me to selfless. Moreover, none of those people were innocent. All of them cruelly mocked me, and this is what they deserve. They should be careful of what they say. This is what they should get. I want to kill off all of those bastards who mocked at me for being weak. Every one of those bastards deserve to die."

At the mention of those words, anger began to rise within Oh Jaeho, and before Han Minhyun was able to make a move on him, Jaeho successfully managed to stand on top of his sword in order to prevent Minhyun from making a move.

Before Han Minhyun was able to get away, Jaeho raised his sword in order to make an attack. Han Minhyun was caught off guard by this, and letting go of the sword on his hand, he attempted to jump back from that position.

But it was too late for that. The electric wave already came in his direction, and it was about to come in contact with him. Staring at the wave in front of him, Han Minhyun was well aware that it was too late for him and wondered on whether or not this would be his last breath.

The pain did not come to him, and that surprised him. What had shocked him the most was the scream that had come after it.

"Ahn Eunwoo!"

Hearing that Han Minhyun found himself being at a state of panic, and with his eyes wide open, Minhyun stared at the boy before him. 

His hand trembled when he noticed that Eunwoo had taken the attack for him, and due to the impact of that, Eunwoo coughed out some blood.

Tears welled up at the corner of his eyes while he questioned, "Why?"

That was all he was able to muster up at this moment. The scene before him was too shocking for him to take in. Han Minhyun had put in all of his effort in order to keep his brother away from the harm's path yet in the end, this was the result he have gotten.

Ahn Eunwoo let out a chuckle and said, "What do you mean by that, Hyung? It's obviously became I love you. Sorry if I hurt you, Hyung, before. Since you have always protected me, I always wanted to give this a try as well. Now, I feel satisfied. Before—"

However, before Ahn Eunwoo was able to continue further, his body collapsed towards and was able to fall down when Minhyun wrapped his hand towards Ahn Eunwoo in order to secure him.

Han Minhyun himself was able to see how fatal this attack was for Eunwoo. The electric wave went through his back, and as blood flowed down from the wound, Minhyun knew that from the intensity of the attack, it was most likely that Eunwoo's heart was injured from this as well.

"Ahn Eunwoo, you believe in Hyung, right? Then, Hyung promises you that you will be perfectly fine. Hyung will be curing you, so don't worry and hang on tightly."

Ahn Eunwoo coughed and said, "Ah! Hyung, is this what death feels like? I don't regret dying like this though. After all, in the end, I was able to protect you. I don't mind dying like this, so you don't need to worry, Hyung. I am happy."
