As Gabriel was about to strike, the woman vanished into thin air, leaving only a cloud of violet smoke in her wake.
Gabriel was left surprised. How had she managed to escape? He scanned the area, searching for any sign of her, but she was nowhere to be found. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.
Frustration welled up inside Gabriel, but he quickly pushed it aside. This was for the best as well, since the only reason he attacked the Woman first was for distraction.
His main concern was Ezekiel. Amidst the attention fixed on him, people remained oblivious to a looming shadow gradually nearing Ezekiel from afar.
Gabriel used himself as a distraction while sending his shadow to retrieve Ezekiel. And for the most part, it worked as well as a lot of attention had fallen on Gabriel. Many people were interested in him, especially after seeing the past in the mirror.
