Damon was grinning ear to ear as he hid in his secret spot and silently amassed all the blood essence, all the while enjoying the stream of system notifications quantifying his hard-earned achievements. Each new ding of notification was like music in his ears.

The battlefield was pure chaos now. Umbra Hand assassins darted between treetops and shadows, their movements sharp and deadly. Alzara’s retainers clashed with them head-on, elemental flares and blood spraying in bursts.

The fairies retaliated in swarms, spells like glowing vines and crystalline arrows shot from all directions. Illusion dust was everywhere in the air.

But Damon? While the three factions tore each other apart, Damon was a ghost in the mist. Hidden beneath [Shadowmeld], he drifted between corpses and chaos alike, drawing blood essence silently and smoothly.

Every time a powerful fairy or fallen warrior’s life ebbed away, his extraction skill flared to life, marking another reward.

The next second, Alzara’s figure emerged from the dust. She did not even bother looking around. She took out a gem from her spatial chain as fast as she could and activated it. The barrier glowed, and lo and behold, she was able to enter the place just like that!

Naturally, Damon was right with her and quickly entered the place at the same time. He was just about to reveal himself when suddenly a shadow flickered and someone else materialized.

"Oh, princess," the man murmured, "you really are full of surprises."

Damon’s eyes widened. It was not a man at all. This was the same woman, the female confidante who had been standing next to Alzara earlier and seemed extremely close to her. But right now, her appearance morphed, and she was a man in a woman’s battle gear.

Alzara’s eyes widened in shock. "Metina... how are you..." She looked angry and betrayed, but then her expression changed. "No... Metina will never betray me. You are someone else. What did you do to my friend?"

The man chuckled darkly. His form shimmered again, just briefly, revealing swirling black tattoos under his skin. Then he settled back into the illusion of Metina’s form, mocking grin still etched across his borrowed face.

"Oh, Alzara," he drawled, voice layered, his own, deeper one mixing with Metina’s lighter tone. "You’re half right. Metina would never betray you. That’s why I had to get rid of her."

Alzara’s hands trembled.

"Did you think you were safe in your palace, princess? If the Umbra’s hand wants your head, there is no safe place in this whole world!" He laughed.
