Hehe, This is going to be fun!

Seline stood outside the Void Gate, her long hair glowing faintly in the dim light of the forest.

A twisted smile spread across her lips as she watched the groups of professionals disappear into the portal.

Any Shadow Messenger who knew her well would recognize the danger in that smile—a sign that she was about to do something cruel, something that would result in bloodshed.

"Hehe," she chuckled, her voice soft yet menacing. "How many of them do you think will come out alive?"

The question was directed at the two young biomechanical soldiers standing behind her, both recently promoted to captain status after absorbing mid-level Mechanical Fire, reaching the strength of Tier 4 professionals.

Despite being no older than 14 or 15, their bodies had matured rapidly due to the biomechanical enhancements, making them appear close in age to Ram and the others.
