Kapitel 333: The White Mask [Pt 1]

~VWUSH!~

Once Rey finished transporting Rebal and Kara to their respective destinations, he activated the secret lever hidden on one of the walls.

It instantly caused the ground to open, revealing stairs that led underground.

One would expect it to be eerily dark, but luminous stones brightened the path, allowing the stairs to give off a majestic aura.

"If anything happens to my Grand Elementals, I'll come after you right away." Rey assured Esme, to which she nodded.

He still didn't know what kind of expression she had under her mask, but he decided not to pry.

'We can talk about this after…'

"Thank you, Re—I mean, Sir Ralyks…" Usually, they would both chuckle at this, but not a single echo of laughter could be heard.

Only something akin to awkward silence loomed around.

"Later then."

Rey broke the silence and waved her farewell, to which she whispered her response.
