The Dark Knight Strikes
In a distant corner of the battlefield, a silent form was lurking in the shadows. It had watched the events play out with an impassive expression, from the grand melee between the players and the void monsters, to the heroic charge of the core members of Umbra vs the Rank 2 void monsters.
The silent form had grimaced when the core members had come forward, as many old memories had flashed through its head, distracting and tormenting it. Especially since those had not been its own memories, but of another just like him.
For a split second, the quarantined zone that silent form had created for itself to trick the special senses of Eva had trembled and had almost come apart. However, its mind had quickly been stabilized by an external force.
