Silver Eyes screamed from below.
"The Lords were seals!"
Azrath smiled.
"Fragments. Guardians."
Kaito froze.
"If I absorb you…"
"The prison breaks completely."
The hunter raised his blade.
"Then we kill him without devouring."
Azrath laughed.
"You cannot kill what is bound to existence."
The eclipse cracked further.
A monstrous heartbeat echoed through the sky.
Kaito realized the truth.
He had been unlocking the cage piece by piece.
And something inside was almost free.
