On a floating fortress, Lucian stood at the edge of what appeared to be a platform atop a very tall tower. The floor was made of black marble, resembling the blackness of the night sky. It also gave one a vague illusion that Lucian was standing on nothing.
The space behind him shifted. However, whatever or whoever made that movement did not appear and, instead, seemed to blend into the night.
"I don't want to hear any excuses."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A female voice responded from behind.
The one who had spoken was none other than Midnight.
After Lucian followed Ruin and the 'Void Master's' trace, he called his few trusted elites and ordered them to search for the latter two as well.
Thus far, the only one who had returned to make a report had been Midnight.
"We found some discrepancy in the locations where the Void energy traces were found."
"Meaning?"
