From a distant rooftop, the black-armored hunter watched the aftermath.
He had felt Vaelor's disappearance.
Impossible.
One boy should not overpower a Lord.
He tightened his grip on his anti-shadow blade.
"If he continues like this…"
He didn't finish the sentence.

"The Devourer must be contained."
The hunter remained silent.
"For humanity," the Archbishop insisted.
The hunter finally spoke.
"Are we certain we are the ones worth saving?"
The Archbishop's expression hardened.
"Careful."
Below, Kaito stood surrounded by terrified civilians.
For the first time—
The hunter wasn't sure who the real threat was.
