"Can we knock him down?" Tyler asked in a hushed tone, his eyes narrowing as he watched the cloaked figure move through the room.
"Nope... He's strong. We can't take him out in one hit without alerting anyone," Lily replied, her eyes scanning the area for potential traps or alarms.
"Then let's just leave after he's gone," Tyler suggested, his voice calm but resolute.
The group remained perfectly still, their Phantom Masks keeping them concealed in the shadows as the cloaked man completed his inspection of the room. He muttered something under his breath, words too quiet for anyone to make out clearly. His presence lingered like a thick cloud of tension before he finally turned on his heel and left, reactivating the array behind him.
