When Draco opened his eyes, he found himself in a different location—a forest. It was a familiar forest, one where he had once hunted Volkoids. However, he had no idea how far he was from Mercenary City.
Picking a direction, Draco started walking. After a few minutes, he heard the sound of weapons clashing, which made him quicken his pace toward the noise.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw someone surrounded by numerous black-clad figures. As he examined the lone fighter's face, he realized it was someone familiar...
This was Jane—the young girl who had once tried to assassinate him but also shared ramen with him. He was baffled by how such a young girl could possess such an intense aura.
But now, she was in trouble. Deep wounds covered her body as she struggled to fend off numerous assailants. When Draco turned his gaze toward her attackers, he noticed their black robes and familiar crests—they belonged to the Night Clan.
