Chapter 1096

Mikurugi Hibiki poked Ito Ryuzaki with his elbow, his eyes asking if he should break it open by force.

Ito Ryuzaki glared at him. Just as he was about to complain that it would only alert the enemy, the gate suddenly opened.

Both were battle-hardened powerhouses and could vaguely sense someone behind the door without the reminder of their Pokémon. Their hearts tightened, and they quickly hid.

The opening of the gate was almost silent. In the eyes of the two who used Pokémon to become invisible, a cultist holding a Crescent Pendant sneaked out.

Mikurugi Hibiki opened and closed his lips, communicating with Ito Ryuzaki using lip-reading: "Should we catch him?"

Ito Ryuzaki shook his head: "No, entering here to liberate Cresselia is the most important thing."

Mikurugi Hibiki nodded and said no more.

The moment the sneaky cultist turned his back on them, the two used the power of their Pokémon to slip in nimbly without making a sound.
