Rex, Davina, Lilliana—after their eventful and fruitful journey, they walked through the tunnel that led back to the Dark City of Glass Steel. It was silent and endearing inside the spatial tunnel—and the light from the other side lit up their forms.
All the weariness from traversing two realms had already taken a toll on them.
Each one felt their steps were heavier, their shoulders dragged, and their minds throbbing.
But it was no time for them to rest.
Until the Purgation Duel ended with victory in their hands, they could not stop to rest.
Rex was the first one who stepped through the portal on the other side. His vision was blinded by light, and then it dimmed, revealing Larta City. But it was not the street in front of the main office building—the tunnel led them someplace else.
Soon, Davina and Lilliana followed.
Both looked around and frowned, realizing the same thing as Rex.
"Where are we?" Lilliana voiced out, scanning the open space that looked like a rooftop.
