Recap
The rooftop became a crucible of fire and moonlight, where Lilith's blood oath flared with cracks and Kazuki's sword sang against the hunter's chains. But the battle was more than steel—it was a clash of wills. The hunter did not come as an assassin, but as a predator, seeking to claim Lilith as prey. And just when the fight reached its peak, the ex-husband revealed himself from the shadows, smiling as chaos unfolded exactly as he wished.
Main Story
The rooftop no longer felt like stone and mortar. It felt like a stage—one built for vows, betrayals, and hunts older than memory. The night wind screamed as flames guttered against shadow, and every broken tile seemed to vibrate with the heartbeat of the predator who had come for her.
Lilith staggered back, clutching her arm where the hunter's chain had scored flesh to bone. Her fire hissed angrily, but it didn't lash outward—it curled inward, uncertain, drawn and bound by the oath cracking across her skin.
