A few minutes earlier...
"Alright, little one, I have some work. You rest for now," Kai said, stroking Vex's head.
"Meow..."
[Soul Space activated!]
A magic circle appeared beneath her, and in an instant, she vanished.
Kai closed his eyes and looked inside his Soul Space.
In the vast, endless expanse, Vex stretched lazily before curling up to sleep.
His gaze then shifted to Luna, who lay sprawled, her form glowing with an ethereal light.
Kai let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.
He then wore the lightweight armor he bought earlier, pulling a dark cloak over his shoulders and the black mask over his face.
Slowly, he approached the window and pushed it open.
His gaze swept over the quiet streets below.
The moonlight shimmered over the rooftops.
It was midnight.
Stepping out, he closed the window behind him, casting one last glance at the full moon.
Then—
He vanished.
His blurred form rushed across the rooftops, moving like a shadow, swift and silent.
