Chapter 209
Damian caught the weapon effortlessly, a wicked laugh escaping his lips. "Shit! I didn’t know you were this fun!" he taunted, eyes gleaming with excitement.
In the next instant, I was already beside him, activating my Spectral Seal—an unexpected move that caught him completely off guard. I closed the gap between us swiftly, my fist clenched with all my strength. "Just returning the favor," I muttered through gritted teeth as I delivered a powerful punch aimed at knocking him out cold.
The blow connected with Damian’s cheek with a sharp, resounding impact, causing him to stumble backward, his feet gouging into the dirt beneath him. His smirk faltered for a moment, surprise flickering across his face. "What the fuck was that..." he muttered, shaking his head as he raised his hand, aiming to unleash a magic strike in my direction.
Before he could cast his spell, a sudden presence materialized out of nowhere, halting him in his tracks. The mysterious man I saw last night stepped forward, grabbing Damian’s arm firmly and pulling him back.
"L-Let me go! I can still kill that b-bitch!" Damian protested, staggering and trying to keep his balance as he struggled against the man’s grip.
The man sighed with obvious irritation, then swiftly knocked Damian out cold. He hoisted Damian over his shoulder with ease, his gaze turning cold and threatening as he stared back at me.
I immediately retreated, positioning myself to shield Cypher, my dagger still at the ready. Every muscle tensed, alert for any further attack.
"Thanks to you, he won’t be so arrogant next time," the man said, his voice calm but edged with menace before he began dragging Damian away.

"It’s been a while, traitor," a cold voice pierced through the air, cutting sharply into the tension as it called out to the mysterious man carrying Damian.
The man paused in his tracks, about to leave the amusement park when he suddenly stumbled upon someone. He didn’t need to turn around to recognize who it was; just hearing the voice was enough to send a clear message. It was Thorne Vex.
