The Author's POV

The world was eerily quiet. The sky was a brilliant shade of blue, and there was a sense of calm permeating every part of the world.

The grass that covered the surface of the land leaned over as a light breeze moved past it, ruffling the hair of a particular figure that quietly sat over the grass.

While he was sitting on the grass, his figure seemed to melt into the background, giving the impression that he was a part of the natural world.

He had always enjoyed this type of atmosphere. It reminded him of his home world when everything was still peaceful and he was just a child.

Only in such worlds would he feel a sense of peace.

It was unfortunate that he didn't get to enjoy such sense for very long when all of a sudden...

"Hm?"

His figure shook, and his eyes gradually opened to reveal two crimson pupils. At the mere opening of his eyelids, the world around him gradually lost its color and appeared to come to a halt.

Turning his head, his gaze peered through the world, coming to a stop in a certain direction.

"The curse…"

His little mumble caused the surroundings to shake, and he gradually stood up. Lowering his head to stare at his hands, his white brows came together tightly as his usually calm expression stilled completely.

"…It's gone."

Rumble―! Rumble―!

It had been a while since Jezebeth felt his composure falter. However, as he felt the link between him and Ren disappear, he knew that the curse he had placed on his body a while back had been removed.

"How is this possible?"

He wasn't one to let emotions get the best of him, but at the moment, Jezebeth found himself experiencing such emotions as his chest slowly heaved up.

"This shouldn't be possible. I've made sure that the cu―"

He stopped himself mid-sentence.

As he opened his eyes, his vision sharpened as he peered through the space he was in, focusing on a planet in the far distance. It was an azure colored planet he was all too familiar with.

His eyes gradually opened up in shock.

"He's gone?"

Jezebeth remained immobile, dumbfounded by the sudden occurrence, as his hair was blown forward by a second breeze.

"Why… Why can't I sense Kevin?"

Jezebeth closed his eyes and tried to sense Kevin's presence. As someone who also wielded the power of the laws, Jezebeth could sense him anytime he wanted. It was also why Kevin never really went away from Earth.

If he did, Jezebeth would know.

Unfortunately, he also had the means to return to Earth before he could ever reach him. Otherwise, he would have finished him off by now.

"Gone."

Jezebeth reopened his eyes and was taken aback by the abrupt situation. No matter how hard he looked, Kevin was nowhere to be found.

"How… is this possible?"

Was he somehow able to find a way to hide away from him? That… it was the only thing that could explain the current situation.
