The scene they were about to film was the one added by Risa and Director Jam at the last minute. Almost everyone was on the set, from actors to staff alike, wanting to witness this particular scene.

Moreover, Risa wanted to see if June could pull off the scene that she had written—knowing that he had been improving tremendously throughout their filming process.

The scene was an integral part of June's character and also the gchanger of the entire movie.

If, at first, June's character was going to die a miserable death in the middle of the movie, then Risa completely changed the character.

Jian was still going to die.

However, she wrote the scene to make the audience regret hating him in the first place!

He will becthe key person to help Seon, the main character, to unite all of the emotions together and finally bring peace to their land.

As Director Jam called to start the filming, everybody on the set turned quiet.

The actors snapped into their characters in an instant, making those watching from the sides amazed by their professionalism.

They were situated on top of a cliff, where the ruins of a city lie. The war had taken its toll on a small city in the country, taking the lives of many innocent civilians.

Seon, the leader of the Ivory pack, was saddened because he couldn't do anything about the situation. However, he believed that the world isn't a lost cause.

He might not have stopped the murder of this city, but he shall put an end to it once and for all.

The air becheavy as Yian, with the leader of the Crimson pack in his grasp, stood poised for power.

His half-brother Jian, though visibly weakened, stood faithfully by his side—a shadow of his former self.

Across from them, the leaders of the other factions, bound by both loyalty and love, stood in defiance.

Yian laughs manically as he stared at the two lovers.

It should have been him who was right by Mika's side.

However, Seon had to take that away, too.

His laugh sent chills to those watching from the side, and all of them believed that replacing Lin Zhi with another actor becanother saving grace of the movie.

Yian believed that if he couldn't experience love or a complete family, then nobody else in this world should.

Everything should be fair.

Nobody gets left behind.

"Once I consRed's soul, hatred will be the only thing that will reign in the world!" he loudly exclaimed with mocking laughter.

His words dripped with venom as he taunted them with the promise of a future devoid of any warmth, consumed only by the flames of hatred.

Seon, feeling the weight of his lover's gaze upon him, finally looked at Mika.

The camera focused on Hana's stare, capturing the silent plea that urged Seon toward a desperate choice.

She didn't have to say anything for the viewers to understand what she was saying.

Mika knew that to survive in this merciless gof power, they must embrace the darkness that threatened to consthem all.

"No," Seon whispered as he shook his head.

"You need to," Mika whispered back. "The only way you can beat him is if you consmy soul before he does with Red."

"That's the only way we can save the world," Mika said.

Seon pursed his lips. Indeed, this action might save the world...

...but he will lose his world instead.

"Mika, we—we can't do this. You have to stay with me, hmm? We have to do this together."

"We will," Mika said, holding onto his hand. "We'll continue to do it together..."

"...just not in the way you've imagined."

"However, even when I'm not physically around, my soul will continue to be with you."

Seon was about to say something more when Yian's laughter reached a new peak.

"I knew it," he chuckled. "You wouldn't be able to do it."

"You don't have the guts!" he spat.

"Do you think you have the right to rule this world when you're so weak with love?"

"See—you made your love a weakness. While I made my love a strength. Now, you'd have no choice but to seerule the world that you had high hopes for."

With that, Yian chanted a spell to consthe soul of Red, who was struggling in his hold.

If, back then, Red could beat Yian, then he felt that Yian was now too strong to defeat.

Yian continued to chant, feeling the power in his body increasing.

However, it seemed like he couldn't fully consRed's soul despite his efforts.

Mika and Seon did not move, afraid of what Yian would do.

Yet, at that moment, Seon felt that Yian wasn't as strong as he painted him to be.

"What's this?" Yian whispered.

He tried chanting the spell once more; however, he still couldn't conshis soul!

He tried over and over again, yet to no avail.

Yian sighed in frustration, his hold on Red tightening as he felt Seon coming closer to him.

"Don't ccloser!" he exclaimed, making Seon halt his steps.

"How can this be?" he muttered.

He had spent the last few years mastering this technique. He had achieved this with the help of Jian's potions, lessons, and information from people across the world!

How could it not work?

Then, Yian's eyes shifted, slowly turning to his half-brother.

The camera focused on June, who weakly coughed while trying to maintain his composure.

Director Jam shook his head in amazement. It was such a small action, yet so important to the scene!

It was a foreshadowing of the fact that Jian had been betraying him by creating faulty potions and spells, which took a toll on his body in the long run.

"Y—you didn't, did you?" Yian asked with narrowed eyes.

There was no way!

His brother had always been there—always supporting him in everything he did.

He never questioned anything.

He was kind—unbelievably so.

He followed every order.

He was obedient.

He was the last person in this world that could betray Yian.

However, at that moment, when the two of them shared eye contact, Yian finally realized.

"Jian!" he exclaimed, and the weak boy closed his eyes as he felt the world rock side to side.

Jian becincreasingly pale as he shook his head, trying to get rid of his dizziness.

"It's done," he muttered in a cold voice—very unlikely of his obedient persona.

Everybody held their breaths as Jian opened his eyes and gazed into the camera.

"Beautiful," Director Jam muttered. "Just beautiful."

"It's over, Yian," he smiled, his pale lips forming into a smile.
