The space in front of Adam started to saturate and distort as the portal to the Spirit World slowly mended itself back. The youth glanced with hopeful eyes as the small, shadowy figure jumped inside the portal and left.
After the portal closed and everything returned to normal, Adam couldn't help but sigh. He lowered his head and muttered under his breath, "I hope it won't be too late."
The following moment, his eyes narrowed and a cold glint flashed in them. He turned his head toward the cave entrance. He could hear the familiar voice of Kevin and a few other people he didn't know.
"It's about time I finish this."
He turned to look at Ennea peacefully sleeping beside him. He stretched his hand to wake her up but paused midway. He hesitated for a brief moment before retracting his hand.
Little Ennea… You rest while I go take care of the pests. It won't take long.
