Thea shook her head, unsure whether they were on the right track. James said, “While I was in the Endlos Plane, I met an elderly monk named Zeno. He used to be the subordinate of Xeraiah. From what I learned, Xeraiah entered the depths of the Dark World. Thus, I speculated that he headed to the Central Plane. However, it seems I was wrong.” “Oh?” Thea looked at him with confusion. James explained, “Zeno brought up the oil lamp to me before. He said Xeraiah left behind the oil lamp for the living beings in the Endlos Plane, saying it could lead the Endlos Plane out of the Dark World.”

“Hello Eden, is there something?” There’s some kind of noise on the other line, then followed by Eden’s gentle voice. (Hello, friend! Sorry to disturb you right now, but there’s an emergency. You see, darling, Black Leopard Mercenary, and Lynx Mercenary group came back at the same time. Most of them are injured, but no zombie bites. We need you here because some people exceeded our healing level. Can you come?) Farrah and Ferdinand exchanged looks, and the former replied, “Sure. I’ll be there in 10 minutes.”

Kael’s gaze flicked briefly toward Aera, catching the smallest hesitation in her posture—the way her fingers had not quite relaxed since the system surged, the way her focus held on Eryndor just a fraction longer than it should have. Not fear. Something else. He didn’t name it. Not yet. Rhyne stepped forward, breaking the moment. “Enough of this. You’re going to explain exactly what you’ve done.” Eryndor didn’t look at him. “That would take longer than you’re willing to listen.” Rhyne’s hand tightened at his side. “Try me.” Eryndor’s attention returned to Aera. “You activated the second position,” he said, ignoring the general entirely. “Not fully. Not correctly. But enough.”

I ignored his gaze and turned to look at the worried Andy. "Andy, I'm hungry. I would like to drink Mom's chicken soup." "Sure thing." Andy patted me on my head and flashed me a smile. At the same time, chaos reigned in the corridors. "I need Adele Lakewood's family! She's bleeding!" Jonah immediately sprang up and pushed the door open, yelling, "I'm here! I'm her husband!" Before he left, he looked at me, but a nurse soon escorted him away. I lowered my eyes, saying nothing.

If Zaire was happy. Then maybe letting him go had been the right thing to do after all. Even if it meant Sebastian had to carry the pain alone. It was worth it. ♧♧♧ ZAIRE'S POV I picked up two packs of sour gummy worms and tossed them into the trolley before pushing it to the next aisle for a bottle of apple juice. Leaning against the handle, I looked down at the shopping list in my hand, making sure I hadn't forgotten anything. When I looked up, I noticed two girls standing at the end of the aisle. They kept stealing glances at me, whispering to each other before one of them smiled and gave me a small wave.
