As soon as Choi Kanghoo sensed the anomaly, he surrounded Ryu Seohaâs entire body with his magic, tightly wrapping him in protection. The exposure to the dark magic of the higher being would have shaken Ryu Seohaâs core, rooted in the light power of the white wings. Choi Kanghooâs magic shield was meant to protect his lover from the overwhelming influence.

Though startled, Ryu Seoha maintained his composure. Without showing any sign of panic, he silently communicated with the bird still clinging to him. Understanding the unspoken request immediately, the clever bird swiftly flew off and retrieved the controller.
âWell done.â

âItâs pointless.â
The Fourth Apostle, disguised as Han Gangsuk, sneered triumphantly, mocking their efforts.
âWeâve already sacrificed billions.â
His words were enough to make Ryu Seohaâs face stiffen. He visualized the scene beyond the warp gate, remembering the familiar landscape he had glimpsed behind the First Apostleâs undead army. It was something that struck him with an eerie familiarityâreminiscent of a fantasy movie scene he had watched with his parents as a child, and a location he had once seen in news photographs. The warp gate, through which they had received items like the pocket ring, was connected to a nation controlled by the apostles. And the so-called âsacrificesââ¦@@novelbin@@
âThree of them are coming.â
