Typhaon's Plan & The End of the World [2]

"Please return quickly. If you don't return, you will be forever trapped in the Shadow World." 

The gatekeeper didn't pay any heed to Neo's dilemma.

To it, a resident of the Shadow World, it didn't matter if Neo's world was destroyed or not. 

Neo clenched his fist.

He had to think calmly.

Losing his cool in such a situation wouldn't help anyone.

He had to calm down and think properly.

What do you mean I successfully completed the Trial?

The Child of Mana is dead. 

"You rescued the corpse of the Child of Mana, and you were the first one to do so," A #22 answered. "This is where your quest ends. Please enter this door." 

Neo won the battle, but he lost the war.

He completed the Shadow Trial, but he doomed the world for his Trial. 

Footsteps echoed faintly against the cracked earth as Jack entered Neo's senses.

He emerged from the shadows with an unreadable expression.
