The episode begins as a lone man steps into the Gate.
In an instant, he is transported to a strange, plane-like dimension. The air feels heavy… unnatural.
Slowly, his face is revealed.
It is Aviraj.
His expression is cold… filled with rage.
Suddenly, a man wielding electricity charges toward him, lightning crackling wildly around his body. He prepares to strike—
But Aviraj doesn't move.
He simply looks at him.
And in that very moment… the electricity vanishes.
Completely.
Before the attacker can even react, his power is gone.
More demons and humans rush toward Aviraj together, launching a combined assault. But to Aviraj… they are nothing.
In a flash—
They are all defeated.
No one even sees him move.
Aviraj continues walking forward as if nothing happened.
Soon, he finds a lift.
He throws a punch into the air—
And reality itself cracks open.
A portal appears.
Without hesitation, Aviraj steps inside.
Scene Shift – HQ
Aditya and Vaibhav sit inside a moving car, heading toward the Gate.
After a moment of silence, Vaibhav speaks.
"You seem like someone I can trust… so I'll tell you something about Aviraj."
Aditya turns toward him, listening carefully.
"Aviraj… is a half-demon."
A brief pause.
"But he's also human. That's why he stands on the side of humanity."
Aditya's eyes widen slightly.
"Then… why are you telling me this?"
Vaibhav lets out a faint smile.
"Because… I don't know when I might die."
The atmosphere in the car turns heavy.
Aditya grows silent.
Scene Shift – Aviraj
Aviraj steps out of the portal—
And finds himself standing in a vast desert.
Endless sand. Endless silence.
He closes his eyes… and smiles faintly.
"Do you really think I would fall for such an illusion?"
The desert begins to distort.
Then slowly—
It disappears.
Aviraj opens his eyes.
A man now stands before him.
"So… you're the one behind all this?" Aviraj asks calmly.
The man shakes his head.
"No… this is the will of Lord Xytherion."
Aviraj's expression doesn't change.
"I don't care about your Xytherion."
He steps forward slightly.
"Just answer one thing—did you see a girl with a sword inside this Gate?"
The demon hesitates.
"…I may have seen someone like that… in the airport dimension."
Aviraj's gaze sharpens.
"Then your role ends here."
In the blink of an eye—
He appears behind the demon.
But the demon vanishes instantly and reappears behind Aviraj, swinging his blade.
Aviraj laughs softly—
And disappears again.
Now he stands behind the demon.
The demon freezes.
What… is this speed…?
Panicking, he shouts:
"Demon Domain Creation!"
A dark domain spreads around them.
But—
Aviraj remains unaffected.
The demon's eyes widen in horror.
"That's impossible… Humans die the moment they enter this domain—"
Aviraj interrupts him.
"…Do I look human to you?"
Before the demon can react—
Aviraj cuts him down.
As he falls, the demon whispers in terror:
"Bloodbound… Aviraj Verma…"
Aviraj replies coldly:
"…So what?"
He walks forward.
Behind him, the domain shatters and disappears.
Scene Shift – Outside the Gate
Vaibhav and Aditya arrive at the Gate, where they meet a girl.
Vaibhav quickly asks,
"Who entered the Gate just now?"
The girl replies,
"A boy… named Avi."
Vaibhav's expression changes instantly.
"Aviraj…?"
She nods.
Without wasting another second, Vaibhav rushes into the Gate.
Aditya follows.
Inside—
They are met with a horrifying sight.
Bodies.
Everywhere.
Demons… and humans alike.
All dead.
They move forward quickly.
Aditya asks,
"Why are you so serious?"
Vaibhav answers grimly:
"You don't understand… If Anvi is trapped inside this Gate…"
He pauses.
"…then Aviraj won't leave anyone alive to save her. Not demons… not even humans."
They open a door—
And suddenly—
They are teleported to a metro station.
The place is crawling with demons.
Vaibhav tightens his grip.
"Aditya, we need to reach Aviraj as fast as possible. Can you handle them?"
Aditya nods firmly.
"Yes."
"Use everything I taught you."
Aditya clenches his fists.
I have to channel all my energy into my punches…
Energy gathers around his fists.
Beside him, Vaibhav forms a spear.
Without hesitation—
They charge.
Final Scene – Aviraj
Aviraj continues forward until he reaches a staircase.
He looks ahead calmly.
"…So, you're using a Mirror Domain."
At the same time—
Vaibhav's voice echoes:
"Summon."
A massive army appears behind him.
And at the very end—
A young commander steps forward.
The same one from Goa.
Aviraj speaks:
"Commander Korvex… finish this quickly."
Korvex raises his sword—
And swings.
The ground shatters like glass.
The illusion breaks.
The real demon is revealed.
It stares at them… and smiles.
"…It seems you might actually be on my level."
