Suhaan stared at Rudra in horror.

His glowing red eyes.

That cursed snake tattoo on his neck.

And then… something even worse.

The serpent—it moved.

Suhaan gasped, stumbling backward as his eyes widened in disbelief.

“T–the snake…” he whispered, trembling.
“It’s… it’s turning alive.”

The black tattoo coiled. Shifted. Slithered.

“This is not just a mark… it’s moving… it’s real…!”

“Sssssssppssss…”

The snake peeled off Rudra’s skin like it had been sleeping — now fully awakened.
It slithered down his chest, curling with eerie grace.

Suhaan’s heart pounded. His fury turned to panic.

“You… you’re a monster!” he screamed.

Rudra said nothing.
His gaze never shifted. His expression remained deadly calm.

The Ophidian crawled lower, its red eyes glowing like embers in the dark.

Suhaan collapsed to the ground, hugging his knees tightly like a terrified child.

“P–please…” he begged, his voice shaking.
“I… I was wrong… Spare me…”

Tears welled in his eyes.

“I’ll do anything for you.”

He turned his eyes toward the woman..

“N–Nari…” he cried out.
“Wake up… please… I need you…”

But she didn’t move.
Her body remained still. Unconscious.

A heavy silence filled the room.

And then—

Suhaan’s trembling stopped.

He slowly stood up.

His face changed. The tears were gone.

He let out a slow, cold laugh.

“Ahh… come on.”

He smirked.

“You actually thought I’d beg for my life?”

“Go ahead,” he said, stretching his arms out.
“Kill me.”

“But the chaos I’ve unleashed…”

He leaned in slightly.

“…won’t end with my death.”
