Kasak Rajof is a half-blood human of Vritra heritage, and the only living dragon on Planet Willarv. He also appears in the finite.

Appearance[]

In his human form, Kasak appears as a man with grayish skin tone. He has long dark grey hair, black eyebrows and dark red eyes. He has four blackish medium-length and upwards-curved horns on either side of his head. He has fangs and claws. In his arms, the dark grayish skin extends above his elbows and his arms have large spikes on the back side, below his elbow. The top side oh his hands and fingers are covered with a pinkish-red pattern, that ends in protruding pinkish-red claws at the tips of his fingers. He is wearing grey shoes and light grey trousers, that are held up by a brown waist-strap. On his upper-body he wears a darker-grayish shirt and a black vest with a large neck-piece on top of it.

When he wears Vishnu's earrings, he appears almost completely human, differing only by his grayish skin tone. He differs from his human form by having no horns, having normal teeth and having normal hands with red wristbands.

In his sura form, Kasak appears as a large dragon. He has dark skin, red eyes, a long pinkish mane, two arms and legs, wings and one very long sharp-scaled tail. Kasak has two brownish horns of medium length at the back of his head. His wings appear to consist of grey skin and a black non-solid matter in the end that disperses into the air as he flies. His dark legs have bony red knee-caps, that elongate as shin-guards to his toes, forming large protruding claws. Kasak's arms have sharp scales around his elbow area, and a pinkish-red pointy scale on top, that elongates to his fingers and forms large protruding claws.

Personality[]

With the earrings on, Kasak appears to have a laid-back and playful personality. He is on several occasions shown to play around with Yuta. Like normal people, he has a wide range of emotions. He was capable of falling in love and lead a normal life among humans.

As a half-dragon, his feelings are numbed, but not to the extent of Vritra nastikas. In comparison with his father, Agni even described him as talkative. Kasak is capable of feeling anger, sadness, concern, guilt and fear without the earrings. His problem is that he doesn't express them with the intensity that a normal person would, making him appear cold and distant. He has a reckless side to his personality, being quite happy when exercising his physical abilities and transcendental skills and showed no fear when facing multiple rakshasa-rank suras.

Agwen is afraid of him without the earrings, something that Kasak is aware of and bothers him. He understands her reaction and tries not to force her to spend time with him when he doesn't have the earrings. He lets his daughter order him around when using the earrings as a sort of redemption for killing his wife and hurting Agwen with his words.

He is scared of his father because of how Taksaka treated him when he was a child. Because his mother lost 80 years of her life to have Kasak, his father hated him at first and came close to kill him almost daily. They weren't very close and Kasak resented that his father abandoned him. In time, their relationship improved and Tak visited him and Agwen until N0.

His mother Ian loved Kasak deeply and never regretted losing 80 years of her life for him. She was a devoted mother and tried her best to make her son happy. Kasak was very possessive of Ian, which sparked some friction with Tak. Ian protected her son from her husband's anger and made Taksaka promise to take care of Kasak when she died.

Notes[]

  • Kasak was named by his father Taksaka, who used a partial anagram
    MWSnap21300
    of his own name.
  • Vishnu once said that the reason why Kasak was never kidnapped like Shakuntala, was because the gods did not believe Tak would actually care.
  • According to Tak, Kasak resembles Ian only when he cries.
  • Being the only half-dragon in Willarv, he is quite popular. His autographs without earrings sell for a lot in auctions, but people are reluctant to approach him if Agwen is not around.
  • He is one of the two descendants of Utpala that remain.
  • Kasak won the Fighter Championship twice.
  • In return for their Breath, dragons are no longer capable of reproducing. Vishnu prophesied that if things remained unchanged, the Vritra clan would be the first sura clan to die out. In order to avoid such an outcome, he convinced Brahma to help. Brahma's spell enhanced the race's characteristics (numbed feelings), in exchange for half-dragons becoming the equivalent of 5th-stage rakshasas after a century.

Plot[]


Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.



History[]

Baby kasak

Baby Kasak

Kasak was born in D883. He had a strained relationship with his father from the beginning, since he had cost his mother 80 years of her life and didn't resemble her at all.

Once, when Kasak was 10 years, he hurt his mother using his Breath because he was jealous she didn't spend all the time with him. Vishnu warned Taksaka and Nard about what had happened and they arrived in time to save Ian. As a punishment, Tak hurt Kasak. When Ian found out, she became angry and made the dragon promise he would never hurt their son again.

1-74 Taksaka's family

Vishnu and the Rajof family

He is once held by Vishnu, whom he humorously shoots with his Destructive Breath, with his mother and father nearby. Due his father's friendships, the Half dragon met and befriended some sura as a child, like Shess and Kalavinka. At one point, a young Kasak is shown talking to a 3rd stage Kalavinka. He asks her if she lives with Vishnu because she does not have a family and offers to give Kalavinka his dad. She explains she has a family, but they have to stay apart for a while due to the Power of the Name. The young Half asks what that is and Kalavinka says she can't tell him about it. She requests that he doesn't share information on her whereabouts with anyone. Kasak promises her he won't.

As Kasak grew up, Ian noted he needed a Half identification, so the three of them went to Mistyshore to get it. Both of his parents were identified in the checkpoint and he obtained his ID card. On Ian's whim, they pay a visit to the restaurant where she used to work. Kasak and Tak had a brief conversation regarding their relationship and the dragon admitted he didn't hate his son anymore, but says he would have loved a daughter that resembled Ian. Kasak was deeply wounded by his words, since there was nothing he could do to have his father's love.

In the autumn of D951, Kasak decided to participate in the Fighter Championship. Taksaka reminded him that he wasn't allowed to kill opponents and asked if he was sure he could control or restrain himself. Ian proposed that Tak lend the earrings to Kasak for the championship. There he met his future wife, Meiwen Hael. She was his sponsor for entering Kalibloom. He was looking for a man to sponsor him in order not to bother a woman, but because of her short hair, Kasak confused her with a man.

When the Half dragon returned, he asked if he could keep the earrings for a little longer, because he didn't want to scare his girlfriend. Ian supported this idea, mentioning she didn't mind living with Taksaka without the earrings. Their son left for 10 years with the earrings, after hearing from Vishnu that his mother would die in D963.

Agwen and Kasak

Agwen and Kasak.

Kasak married Meiwen and had Agwen. In D961, he returned home in order to show his daughter to his parents. No one answered the door, but it was open. The house was clean and in order, however, no food or drinks were in sight. Kasak found their parents in the second floor, only to realize his mother had died a while ago. He gave the earrings back to his father, so that he was able to cry for his wife. They scattered her ashes in a nearby river. Taksaka returned to the sura realm afterwards, but continued to visit Kasak and Agwen until N0.

During the N0 Cataclysm, Kasak was caught in emotional resonance. He killed his wife, Agwen's best friend, and her lover. Agwen herself barely managed to survive. She was very shocked that her father would be so calm after what he had done. He explained he didn't love Meiwen or her without the earrings, which hurt Agwen. Despite growing afraid of her father, she forgave him and sponsored him.

Season 1[]

Chapter 8: The Wavering King[]

1-54 Agwen and Kasak

Arrving at Mistyshore

(4) Kasak Rajof and his daughter Agwen arrive together on the coastline near Mistyshore. He wears a large back-pack and carries several shopping bags in both of his hands, and appears unenthusiastic about his role as a pack-mule. He tries to convince his daughter to help him, but to no avail. As Agwen scolds him, he hears something from the forest and looks aside, resulting in his daughter investigating the situation.


(5) Kasak reluctantly follows his daughter into the forest and is witness to the bloody scene, but is too late to spot Yuta.  On Agwen's orders, he removes his earrings and returns to his normal human form, with horns, longer hair, claws, and no emotions. He quickly grasps the situation and explains to his daughter that Yuta never intended to kill the humans. He only wanted to make them feel pain for killing a Half. Kasak also corrects Agwen that Yuta is not a regular human half, but is a half of Garuda and Taraka heritage.

Kasak shifts to his sura form and approaches Yuta from behind, announcing that he knows of Yuta's true heritage.


1-55 Mr Kasak and Yuta (detail)

Hey there

(4)(7) Kasak has a short conversation with him, where he makes fun of the rakshasa for still being in 2nd stage. The Half dragon mentions he knew Vishnu and remembers that the primeval god told him about Yuta and his siblings. Before he can finish talking, Kasak runs out of vigor, returning to human form and falling asleep nearby.

Chapter 9: Rival[]

(1) As Asha and Leez are having a small quarrel, they are interrupted by a crowd outside fawning over Mr. Kasak. Mistaking Yuta to be the cause, Leez asks Asha where Yuta, who has been missing all day, is. Asha replies that he's outside, but looking funny, therefore they should get going.

(2) In their lodgings in Mistyshore, Agwen puts the sleeping Kasak to bed, as Asha and Leez stand nearby. While observing the Rajofs, Asha reveals to Leez that Kasak is the only half dragon on Willarv and is 132 years old. Agwen is his quarter daughter who's 62 years old and was one of Asha's professors at Eloth. Asha further explains to a confused Leez, who's suspicious of Agwen's treatment towards her dad, that there's hidden traumatic circumstances surrounding the Rajof family. She tells Leez if she's wants to know more, she should ask Agwen directly as it's not Asha's story to tell. Once she settles her father, Agwen, grateful for Yuta's help, offers to buy dinner for not only him, but also Asha and Leez.

(3) While discussing how an adult is better at processing through the trauma inflicted during the Cataclysm, Rana reminds Asha of the unspeakable acts Kasak committed against his daughter. It is revealed that Agwen's closest friend, lover, and mother died at the hands of Kasak.

(4) Realizing that Agwen is leaving soon and taking Kasak with her after Asha and Leez mention it, Yuta rushes out of the room to look for Kasak.

On his way to see Mr. Kasak, Yuta overhears Agwen yelling at a guild employee who insists they can only sell cooked meat. Agwen orders her to deliver it all raw and uncut or else she will take her to magician's court because she is delaying their departure. She then asks the employee to tell her where all the jerky is stored so she can get it herself.

When he wakes up, Kasak is given meat in order for him to regain his strength. Yuta later storms in to visit Kasak to find more information on his siblings. Kasak pokes the little rakshasa on the forehead as a friendly gesture. They have a short conversation, during which Kasak refuses to tell Yuta anything regarding his siblings. Instead, Kasak lends him his earrings to be able to pass as a pureblood. Once Yuta leaves, Kasak remembers Vishnu's prophecy of a Garuda rakshasa that would become stronger than him and harder to kill once he develops. Kasak reflects he'll likely regret his decision, however, he admits his curiosity to see an older Yuta is greater.

Chapter 10: The Night it Rained Fire[]

1-70 Kasak and Agwen

To Atera

(7) Agwen Rajof leaves for Atera because of their call for aid,[1] and as usual, Kasak goes with her. He flies with Agwen on his back and he's asked about his earrings. He notes Agwen only feels comfortable around him when he's using the earrings; she tries to deny it, but noticeable shivers. The Half dragon explains he lent them to someone and will be getting them back soon enough. [2] His daughter convinces him that they needed to rush to Atera, where there will be plenty of sura for him to eat and replenish his vigor, so he uses his Crescent Gate transcendental to shorten their travel time.


1-74 Maruna kidnaps Agwen

Agwen is kidnapped

(9) He introduces himself to Riagara, Pingara, and Hura by killing and eating Ananta upanis. (10) He allows Riagara's trancendental to hit him in order to gauge their strength. Realizing her attack didn't harm him, Ria deduces that he is a half-dragon of more than a century of age. After a short talk with his daughter, he takes flight and attacks them with his Destructive Breath, which results in a large path of destruction, but the rakshasa (except for Hura) successfully evade his attack. Recognizing the invisible fire and thus realizing he must be Taksaka's son, Ria comes up with a plan. Hura is forced by his colleagues to induce Kasak's transcendentals, while Riagara convinces Maruna to fight the Half in their stead. (11) Agwen begins to worry her father will run out of vigor before being able to kill the sura when she's snatched away by Maruna.


1-76 Maruna tussles with Kasak 2

Fighting Maruna

(12) To his daughter's surprise, Kasak instantly chases after the escaping Maruna and attacks him with several Dark Vermilion Chasers, which barely miss Agwen. (13) He later catches up to the Garuda rakshasa when he lands and safely releases the hostage. Maruna explains he doesn't want to fight—he only wants information about Kalavinka. However, the Half dragon refuses to tell him anything, and so the rakshasa attacks him, crushing him against a mountain and going for his neck. (16) Kasak manages to avoid the attack and escapes Maruna's hold, while the latter is distracted by Agni's arrival. He continues by conjuring and firing a powerful transcendental, despite his daughter being close behind Maruna.


1-80 Shess lectures Kasak

Shess and Kasak

The attack is dissolved by Shess.

(17) Shess allows Maruna to leave and stops Kasak from following. He reminds Kasak of how he used to beat him when he was a kid. Kasak calls out Shess if he's really neutral. Before the two can get into a fight, Leny yells at Shess to be careful or he might step on Agwen.

(19) In a flashback to D925, a young Kasak bids Kalavinka goodbye after Visnu calls her so that they can go home. He asks Kalavinka why she's with the nonsensical god and offers her his dad instead. Kalavinka replies she does have a family, but they can't be together because it would be dangerous. Kasak acknowledges their alikeness since he gets beat up by his dad everyday too. Laughing, Kalavinka assures the half it's nothing like that. She tells him her family is separated due to the "Power of the Name." Kasak asks what that is. Kalavinka says she can't reveal more than that. Instead, she asks him that if someone came looking for her, he should pretend to know nothing since her clan's fate depends on it. Kasak notes how similar she and Visnu are with their cryptic way of talking. He asks her if that means he just needs to keep his mouth shut around the bad guys. Kalavinka replies "No. Don't tell anyone at all" because enemies can sometimes come "in the kindest and most benevolent of forms."

Back in the present, both Shess and Kasak transform back to their human forms after Agwen collapses. Shess goes up to Agwen and heals her. The Kinnara rakshasa reprimands Kasak for his actions, since he put the life of Agwen in danger. The Vritra half denies it, explaining he had made sure the attacks would not hit her, and that he was unable to give Maruna what he wanted in exchange for Agwen's safety. Shess asks Kasak what happened to his earrings because it's hard for him to have a serious conversation with the way Kasak is right now. Shess reiterates how unfatherly Kasak's behavior was, but Kasak interrupts to defend himself that the "chicken brain wanted something I couldn't give." Shess asks what exactly Maruna wanted.

(20) Noticing Kasak's refusal to reveal Maruna's wishes, Shess calculates that whatever it is, Kasak must be holding an "enormous secret." Instead, Shess formally introduces Leny to Kasak as a half who he took with him to the sura realm after the Cataclysm. Kasak is mildly annoyed that Shess chose to leave him in the human realm in favor of the Leny. Shess tries to reason with the dragon half that Leny is more vulnerable and would have needed more protection, but Kasak just stares at the girl. When Shess insinuates that Kasak take care of both him and Leny while they're in the human realm, Kasak questions Shess if he's of right mind. Irritated by Kasak's reaction, Shess threatens to join Maruna's side if he refuses. The Kinnara rakshasa also adds in that he would be helpful with Agwen considering that Kasak doesn't have his earrings with him.

Chapter 11: The Power of the Name[]

(2) After some jabbing by the Ananta rakshasas, Hura admits that the main reason he ran away and failed his part of the mission (destroy the Magic Guild along with all the humans there) is due to his uncertainty in his ability to subdue the magicians without risking the few remaining revivals he had left after diverting Kasak's attacks and transcendentals towards himself. Hura degrades the Anantas, especially Riagara, for their blind devotion to Sagara when it was he who saved them from Kasak.

Chapter 12: Lies for You[]

1-89 hyung knows nothing

Shooping day

(1) Later, Kasak is seen with Shess, Agwen and Leny shopping. Agwen and Leny go on ahead, leaving Kasak and Shess behind. The Kinnara sura points out that the Half was not talking to his daughter and suggests he apologizes so things will go back to normal. Kasak replies that it will not solve anything, because she will pretend everything is fine. Seeing that he cares for his daughter, Shess theorizes that he is not as emotionless as one might think and offers to act as a buffer between father and daughter.

Kasak does not like it when Shess calls Agwen "princess".

(12) The Half dragon is invited to the meeting held at the Fire temple in Atera. While heading there, Shess warns him that Agni will also be there and might use insight on him. Kasak explains that knowledge that was acquired with insight cannot be obtained the same way again, which is his case. He invites Shess to come along to the meeting, but the other sura admits he dislikes gods and would rather not see Agni.

Season 2[]

Chapter 13: Lost[]

While Ruche Seiran is bad-mouthing Kasak, he arrives from behind, leaving her completely shocked. He is present when Agni reveals himself. Both leave to discuss a possible course of action, if the city is attacked again. Kasak asks the god why he revealed himself, knowing it was forbidden by Vishnu after the Cataclysm, but he gets no answer. Seeing Agni seems unable to take the situation seriously, the half-dragon threatens to leave for another planet. They have a brief conversation and agree on forming an alliance to keep Willarv safe.

Chapter 19: Rift[]

Kasak grows suspicious of Shess leaving every night after putting Leny to sleep and decides to follow him. They end up in Kalibloom, where the Kinnara rakshasa is looking for God Kubera. The half-dragon threatens to kill him if he fails to explain himself properly.

Chapter 21: Frozen Tears[]

In Atera, Brilith interviews Kasak about the superior suras who had come over to the human realm. Agni interrupts the meeting by hugging Brilith, then asks Kasak how long it would take him to arrive at Kalibloom; he replies that it would be about 30 minutes via his transcendental "Crescent Gate", but he could not make the time any shorter due to the time it takes for him to remove "things" that cling on to him inside the passage. Agni tells him to depart immediately.

After Agni suddenly returns to Atera during his fight with Gandharva in Kalibloom, he decides to leave the situation for Kasak to handle. However, the Half dragon should have arrived in Kalibloom quite a while ago...

Chapter 22: The One Standing Before Me[]

Kasak arrives in Kalibloom just before Yuta's transformation, in an agitated state. He angrily crushes several black creatures clinging to his back against a cliff, then growls that he should have killed Yuta when they had met in Atera, because now he needs to kill him before he reaches 3rd stage.

He finally arrives in Kalibloom with the entire Eloth aid party on his back; however, it is already after Yuta's transformation and the theft of God Kubera's items. Since no rakshasa could be found, he searches for Yuta instead, finds him in the damaged Earth temple, and attacks him, causing Yuta to flee from the city

Chapter 23: The Good[]

(1) Kasak continues to patrol the area around the city for the next several days. During a meeting in Atera, Brilith reads a notice from Kasak stating that he planned to stay in Kalibloom for a while. Seeing Agwen looking distraught, Agni fibs and says her father also requested that they look after her.

(2) Agni receives a secret document from Kasak detailing his recent difficulties traveling through the Crescent Gate, his encounter with the Taraka clan, and the revelation that there is a king of the Taraka clan living in the human realm. (3) Agni sends a response advising him to proceed with caution.

(2) In the Chaos forest, the search party for Teo Rakan suddenly finds that their magic is no longer working. Kasak realizes Yuta is nearby, and discovers him with Leez. (3) Kasak transforms into his sura form, causing the city's turrets to continually fire on him. (4) As Leez pleads with Kasak, Yuta is about to transform into sura form himself, only to be stopped by Asha, who diffuses the situation. Kasak decides to wait and watch for now and returns to his human form. He tells Yuta he will not be able to enter the city without the Priest of Earth's permission, and recommends that Leez read the book The Biology of Sura before seeing her friend again.

(5) When he later runs into Leez in the city, he asks her if she has read the book yet, and when she replies no, he hands her a copy. (6) Kasak later meets Yuta (who confesses he lost the earrings) outside the checkpoint, gives him a red shirt to wear, and tells him he has a job that may help him gain the support of the people of the city.

(7) Kasak convinces Yuta use his ability to reveal a field of ice, containing the frozen body of Teo Rakan, that had been hidden before. Kasak finds Yuta's new personality and his commentary about Teo to be rather cold and harsh. When the crowds rejoice after Asha revives Teo, Kasak warns Yuta that their feelings will change after some time passes.

Chapter 25: That Which Cannot be Grasped or Held[]

(1) At the Earth temple with Siera and Claude, Kasak wonders why Yuta was at the temple as well, and Claude responds that he is probably visiting his sponsor, Asha. Claude suggests that he return to his daughter in Atera, but the Half dragon responds that he should stay and keep an eye on Yuta.

(2) As Kasak prepares to transport a team of magicians to aid Rindhallow, Yuta arrives and asks him if he plans to use the Crescent Gate. Kasak replies that he doesn't intend to use it, so Yuta asks if it was because he developed, making the Taraka clan more dangerous than before. Kasak replies yes, since he was restrained by Taraka the last time he passed through to give Yuta time to develop. Yuta then asks if she let him go when he developed, and Kasak replies no, he did not have time to wait and so he killed her. (3) Noticing Yuta's reaction, he asks him why he grieves someone who would resurrect anyway, and Yuta assures him he made the best decision in his situation.

Soon, Kasak begins to fly towards his destination, causing a commotion among the people in the city, wondering where he is off to. Claude whispers to him that he needs to inform Asha that Yuta is dangerous, but Kasak responds that he is aware he is dangerous, but he stays in the city out of love for a human and hasn't caused any problems so far, plus he warned him about the Crescent Gate. He learned from watching his father that even a dangerous sura can be pacified by love. Claude, agitated, asks if he was sure this was really about love.

Season 3[]

Chapter 48: Separation[]

(1) Kasak climbs out the window of his bedroom in Kalibloom with the intention of heading out to Atera and protecting Agwen Rajof, but Shess convinces him to stay and protect Kalibloom.

(3) When a group of rakshasas attacks the Kalibloom barrier, Kasak takes sura form, much larger than ever before. (4) Shess asks him if he would be alright in that form, and Kasak advises Shess to go look after Laila Hemawati instead of worrying, as she may be a target. Kasak then notes that the city's turrets are only firing upon him, which means that the attacking suras are hiding in their human forms. He uses a wide-range attack to locate them, but all the attacks curve in one direction. Kasak realizes this must mean he is facing the same annoying sura as 7 years ago.

(5) Hura is taking all of Kasak's subsequent attacks. Kasak tells her that he has met plenty like her in the sura realm and they never revived after their thirteenth death. He notes that Hura has died eleven times now. Hura attempts to strike a deal with Kasak but he ignores her. Just as he is about to deal another killing blow, his transcendental fades and his form shrinks as Taraka arrives in the city with her eyes open.

(6) As Riagara and Pingara observe the fight, they discuss that Kasak must be using an item of Brahma to copy a nastika's transcendental in order to make his form so huge.

(9) Shess and Gandharva arrive to join Kasak in the fight, Shess fighting Taraka's minions and Gandharva seated atop Kasak's head, intending to deal the finishing blow to Taraka, so that she cannot revive once killed. As the fight goes on, Kasak points out that Taraka's regeneration is too good and Shess worries that their Transcendental skills will get sealed soon at this rate.

Suddenly, a huge humanoid Taraka clan sura materializes and Shess freezes in place.(11) Kasak yells for Shess to get away. Gandharva recognizes the sura as the weapon created by Ancient humans in Shess's dream and pronounces that it must be destroyed. As the huge sura attacks Shess, Taraka entangles it in her tentacles, thus helping the group.

(15) The huge Taraka sura starts strangling Taraka. Kasak is of the mind to go help her, but Gandharva yells that killing Taraka takes priority, that if she dies, all the other Tarakas will be immobilized. As the Taraka sura smashes Taraka into the Kalibloom city barrier, the barrier begins to crack.

(16) Despite Gandharva's protests, Kasak attacks the huge sura weapon. He then points out the cracks in the barrier and voices suspicion that Gandharva wants the city destroyed. Gandharva quickly denies this. Gandharva warns Kasak to get out of the way when the huge Taraka sura turns white. Kasak acknowledges the usefulness of this warning but clarifies that no one trusts Gandharva and they are all accepting him only for Menaka's sake.

(22) Kasak wonders how come the sura weapon is using transcendentals when he cannot. Gandharva points out that this means Taraka is allowing it to, which proves they are working together. Taraka attempts to entangle the sura with her tentacles, but they quickly get burned. Kasak states that this behavior would be odd if those two were on the same side, but Gandharva only sees some intricate scheme on Taraka's part behind her actions and repeats that they need to kill her.

(23) The huge Taraka clan sura is burning Taraka, and Gandharva tries to convince Kasak to go finish her off. To himself, Kasak thinks that Gandharva is terribly annoying and that he admires the chicken head for bearing with him. Out loud, he asks Gandharva if it is not dangerous to go closer. Gandharva tells him that there is no danger at all.

Just as Kasak notices that Shess is no longer where he stood, Taksaka appears next to Gandharva and asks him not to sacrifice sons of other people for his own goals. He then scolds Kasak for not being able to deal with something as weak as that Taraka weapon and demonstrates that the use of transcendentals is not restricted, meaning that Kasak and Gandharva must have gotten their skills sealed and Taraka will have to die if they want them back. Taksaka then smashes the huge Taraka clan sura and tells Kasak to handle the rest on his own.

Gandharva asks Taksaka how he got to the human realm, Taksaka answers he came through a portal in Atera and ran all the way from there. Kasak asks about the state of the city and Taksaka informs them it would be destroyed by now.

(24) When Kasak hears of this, he refuses to fight and makes a grand speech about how he would have no reason to live should his daughter die. He plans to open the Crescent gate and go check up on Agwen. Just then, Taraka opens a portal leading to Atera. Taksaka tells Kasak not to go anywhere for he will go find Agwen himself. Gandharva prompts Kasak to continue fighting.

(28) Gandharva continues to convince Kasak to focus on killing Taraka. Finally, Kasak rips off Taraka's head and holds it up high, saying that no matter if Agwen is dead or alive, Taraka is her enemy. He then prompts Gandharva to land the finishing blow. Gandharva uses his soul-destruction skill on Taraka and she dissipates. When Kasak asks if it is over, Gandharva realizes he is crying and claims that these are tears of joy.
