The three of them appeared in space, and the vast emptiness stretched endlessly around them while faint stars flickered in the distance, and the broken traces of recent battles still lingered like scars across the void.
Before Kael could say anything, three figures stepped forward from different directions.
Christina.
Nina.
Asana.
They stopped a short distance away, and their eyes immediately locked onto Kael.
Kael noticed their presence and smiled faintly.
"Don't be sad… it's not as if I am dying!" he said, and his tone was light, but it did not fully hide the weight behind it.
"We won this time."
Nina looked at him, and her expression did not change much, but there was a clear heaviness in her eyes.
"We won, but at what cost?" she said with a somber expression.
Her voice was steady, but it carried something deeper.Rather than feeling happy, everything left a bitter taste.
