filled the night sky—not just one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I passed by the stars, brushed past the moons, and continued toward my destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time in Mangye flowed at an unusually slow pace,but there was one strange phenomenon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transition from sunset to night happened far too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost instantaneous.One moment, the sun was setting; the next, the night had already fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing this peculiarity, I kept my guard up—but I didn’t stop flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, I reached my destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concealing my presence wasn’t difficult.Whether it was due to my own skills or the lingering effects of the spell,getting inside wasn’t much of a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was just my imagination,but the defenses of Yahwol felt surprisingly weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there had already been multiple intrusions here,it was still this easy to break in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘There must be a reason why they’re not reinforcing security.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just about how they arranged their forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The personnel were definitely present,but they weren’t extending their senses to create a defensive perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it was easy to infiltrate.Convenient for me—but strange nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Something feels off.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A place that had suffered multiple attacks should have increased its security—Either by deploying more people or expanding their sensory fields to fortify their perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yahwol had done neither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t have an answer.But I put that thought aside for now,because my descent had already begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had reached my target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My feet landed softly on the ground.A large mansion sprawled before me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I had been here before, getting in wasn’t difficult.After landing, I scanned my surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There—on the mansion’s rooftop—I sensed a presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, I moved toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwoosh—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small flicker of flame sparked as my body vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed the presence downward—and soon enough, I saw someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person noticed me at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Intrud—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clench—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmff…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lunged forward and clamped my hand over his mouth.Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slammed his head into the wall, knocking him unconscious.His body slumped to the floor without resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly scanned my surroundings.Several more presences flickered within my sensory field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t feel like dealing with all of them,so I only took care of the ones in my way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!Crack!\"Guh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they dropped without making a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their numbers weren’t massive,there were still over a dozen of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking down more than ten men—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clicked my tongue and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is getting annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stealth was a pain.Honestly, under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have bothered with all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If I act recklessly—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew Yahwol wasn’t just Yusa’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were other troublesome figures here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, it was best to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That being said—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Still…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding back too much felt suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Maybe just a little?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwoooosh—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black flames coiled around my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, seeing them left me feeling unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These flames—they were proof that my past and present were still connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That no matter what,I wasn’t truly different from back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth—but for now, I had no choice but to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The location should be…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straight up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was upstairs—most likely in the same place as last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, I raised my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOSH—!!!CRAAACK—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black flames erupted, piercing through the ceiling above.At the same time, I compressed the air around me to prevent the noise from escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment I saw the opening—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leapt up, propelling myself through the hole.And just like that, I reached my target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What the hell…?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment I landed, someone stared at me in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His age seemed to be past thirty—but considering his appearance, he was probably much older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had no way of knowing his exact age.The Moonlit Night Tribe seemed to have longer lifespans than humans,making it impossible to estimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Either way, he’s definitely older than me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of what I imagined, that much was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blue hair, his sharp features—And those damn rabbit ears that didn’t suit him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many times I saw it,I couldn’t get used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had seen plenty of beasts with ears and tails—but rabbits were somehow the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the Blue Clan,who had been with Yusa,stared at me in stunned disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He’s here.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him standing there, alive and well,confirmed that I had come to the right place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I landed lightly, adjusting my posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my hands behind my back,I silently stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted with irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you realize where you are?! How dare you return here…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hmmm?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilted my head,making sure to display the utmost disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What are you talking about?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There is no place in this land where I am not welcome.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrogance.Absolute confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I carefully controlled my tone,deliberately shaping my words to exude supremacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My face was hidden behind the mask—so I didn’t have to worry about expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that mattered was my posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way I stood—The way I walked forward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step was deliberate.Every movement exuded an overwhelming presence—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind that made it seem like I would never lose.Like I would never retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just me acting on my own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was mimicking someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was copying the gestures, the mannerisms—Everything about a certain individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to even say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very person who had once worn this face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I came to offer the greetings I missed last time.Are you ready now?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pity.
