Multiple days passed after their encounter with Vector, and things had gotten no better.
"Is Hugo back yet?" Ruki asked, looking around for him.
She wasn't actually using her eyes but instead trying to sense his presence. It was easy if he was within her range, considering his large energy signature. But she couldn't sense him anywhere.
Alpha2 and Iron Alchemist shook their heads and sighed. Hugo hadn't been seen since his fight with Vector. They had called everyone who he might have gone to, but no one seemed to know where he went.
'This can't be happening again. The only time I can't sense him is if he's in another region entirely or something else. The last time it happened was when the Judgement emerged. You left us for four years. Please don't do it again…'
Ruki sobbed inwardly and looked at the sky beyond the transparent glass.
'With all this power I have, it still feels like I'm nothing but a liability.'

Author's Note: I made a P, a, t, r, e, o, n account at Purple_Midnight. I will post stuff about Black Knight and any other upcoming projects there. But most of the time, it'll be short stories. They are a relaxing read compared to conventional Web novels.
The first tier is only 3 dollars, which is the same price as my 2nd Privilege tier on Webnovel (which gives access to 5 advanced chapters). The only difference is the content and the amount I make. This book basically belongs to Webnovel, so they get a higher share of profit. Instead, on p, a, t, r, e, o, n, as long as you guys donate, I'll be able to earn a stable income.
Even if you're not planning on reading a short story, you can still donate to support me.
