‘Are you saying that all this time he’s been hiding his aura? That’s impossible! Not even the Ascended Lords could hide their auras in the Dark Field! The pressure there is too intense to waste energy on such nonsense!’

At that very moment, Adam raised his head and smiled slightly.

“I’ll tell you the same thing you told me earlier.”

Adam’s gaze grew lighter, almost carefree, which was nothing short of humiliation and an insult to a Lord like Midgar.

“Don’t try to analyze me. You understood everything correctly, Midgar. I died. I died right after I entered the Dark Field and…” He lowered his gaze to his chest. “Apparently, my heart hadn’t been beating for quite some time.”

Midgar’s face contorted with rage.

“How is that possible?! How could a K4-Phantom survive in the Dark Field?!”

Midgar’s aura grew stronger.

“Alright, I was ready for this. I’ll carry out my mission and lead you to the Befallen Crown, Adam Vinter!”

A glint flashed across Adam’s eyes as the blue threads swirled around him.

“Sure. You can try. I don’t mind.”
