Chapter 16 - Mikey The Destroyer

Sam Yoon → You're seriously letting him walk into the Noctis Fortress? Gun… this isn't some back-alley brawl in Seoul. It's the stronghold of the Ivory King. Sending Mikey in alone? That's suicide.

Gun Park → You still don't get it, do you?

Sam Yoon → I get that place is a graveyard for people who think they're gods. And I get that Mikey's unstable. His silence, his blank eyes — it doesn't scream strength. It screams tragedy waiting to happen.

Gun Park → That silence? It's not weakness. It's restraint.

Sam Yoon → You're romanticizing him. I've read his file. He's short-tempered, emotionally volatile, psychologically fractured—

Gun Park → And he's still the strongest man I've ever seen in motion.

Sam Yoon → You're telling me that... Mikey — that Mikey — can take on the monsters guarding the Ivory King?

Gun Park → I've seen Mikey snap a man's neck with a kick so fast the body didn't fall until he turned away. I've watched him rip through trained fighters like they were made of wet paper. He doesn't need a strategy. He is the strategy.

Sam Yoon → That kind of rage... it eats people alive.

Gun Park → Mikey doesn't get consumed by rage, Sam. He controls it. Like a weapon only he knows how to wield.

Sam Yoon → Then why does he look so empty?

Gun Park → Because everything worth living for was already stolen from him. Now all that's left… is destruction. And I'm giving it direction.

Sam Yoon → You really believe he's ready?

Gun Park → I didn't train a soldier. I raised a storm. When he steps into Noctis... they won't be facing a boy. They'll be facing my Destroyer.

At the Noctis Fortress

The Mauler → You walked into the wrong place, brat. Kneel... or die standing.

Mikey → You're too loud.

The Ivory King → So… the storm finally walks my halls.

Ivory King → So, who am I seeing in my castle. Bring him to me, I will talk to him
