"Good. You two can come out now." Samiel, now satisfied that he was alone, summoned his soulbound companions.

The next moment, his shadow withered before forming into a boy similar to Samiel, except it was a shadow.

Beside the shadow boy stood a tall shadow Knight.

They were Xalithar and Zyra'kai who were residing in his shadow after leaving the Vampire Empire.

"Take a seat," Samiel said, gesturing for the two to sit comfortably.

"Now, shall we discuss the gains we had?" He then started. "Kai, can I see your status? I haven't seen it for half a year. You must have regained another portion of your strength in the recent events, right?"

"Yes, Young Master..." Zyra'kai replied. "It is all thanks... to you... your Grandfather."

"No, you helped us a lot too. It would be quite hard to succeed without your help." Samiel smiled appreciatively at Zyra'kai, acknowledging his crucial role in their victories.
