Michael felt his vision blur as he entered the crack.
For a moment, all he saw was chaotic darkness.
The next instant, he found himself in the middle of a vast forest.
"Lucky!" he called out.
Without taking time to observe his surroundings, Michael gripped his gun tightly and summoned Lucky from the Netherworld.
A greenish-black circle materialized on the ground in front of him, and the silhouette of a massive wolf leapt out—it was Lucky.
At the same time, Michael retrieved Prince from his storage space to guard his back.
While Prince's mind remained frozen in time, unable to develop consciousness, Lucky was already alert.
Sensing his master's unease through their link, Lucky immediately assumed a combat stance upon arrival.
Fortunately, after a tense few seconds, nothing attacked.
Michael finally let out a sigh of relief.
