The city shivered under the tension of the night.
---
From above, the Authority Enforcer descended with intent unlike before.
Not observation. Not traps.
Direct assault.
---
Chains of golden energy stretched across the streets, aiming to corner Rei.
Hunters flanked with precise coordination.
Exorcists' arrays projected overlapping containment fields.
Rogue spirits moved unpredictably—but subtly nudged to block escape.

> [System Alert: Authority Enforcer – Direct Offensive Engaged]
Threat Level: Extreme

I hovered on a rooftop, analyzing.
"…So they finally decided to play seriously," I muttered.
Mira's voice echoed faintly.
"They're adapting faster than before. You can't rely on subtlety alone."
---
I activated Chaotic Signature + Emotional Grounding immediately.
Rogue spirits shifted, creating confusion among hunters.
Exorcists misaligned temporarily.
Chains of the Enforcer twisted mid-flight, reacting slower than intended.

> [System Update: Direct Assault – Partial Mitigation Successful]
---
I darted through rooftops and narrow alleys, weaving chaos and guidance simultaneously.
Every movement was calculated:
Gap analysis of hunter formation
Rogue spirit positioning for distraction
Timing Chaotic Signature pulses to manipulate perception
---
The Enforcer adjusted instantly, landing in front of me on a rooftop, chains coiling like a cage.
> "Deviations detected. Containment required."
---
I exhaled slowly.
"…Alright. Time to combine everything."
I unleashed a synchronized burst of Chaotic Signature + Emotional Grounding with precise timing and rogue spirit support.
Hunters faltered.
Exorcists staggered.
Rogue spirits realigned strategically.
Chains twisted—but I slipped through a narrow gap.
---
"…Barely," I muttered, landing on a distant rooftop.
Mira's voice:
"Good. But they will escalate. Each move now counts more than ever."
---
> [Status Update:]
— Authority Enforcer: Engaged in Direct Offensive – Extreme Threat
— Multi-Faction Coordination: Adaptive & Aggressive
— Rei Skill + Network Influence: Fully Tested Under Fire

The city below remained unaware of the full-scale battle above its streets.
I floated, heart racing, ready for the next escalation.
