Then, as quietly as mist fading in the wind, Raito moved. He slipped past the officer, heading for the blocked entrance of the subway.
The wooden boards were cracked apart, dust settling around the edges. Raito stepped through, emerging into the cool night air. The city lights shimmered faintly in the distance.
Still cloaked in Shadow Phase, he walked past the guards stationed nearby. None of them noticed, their eyes never even twitched in his direction.
When he finally reached the street, he slid both hands into his pockets and walked away slowly, his boots echoing softly against the pavement.
The dungeon was gone.
The subway sealed itself again behind him.
And Raito, silent, unseen, disappeared into the night.
He kept walking down the quiet street, the hum of distant traffic echoing in the background. Then, the system's soft tone echoed in his ear:
[Shadow Phase Deactivated.]
