DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
The sound of the elevator opening up resounded as Ryuk stepped back down into the large hall. The moment he stepped out, his brain began thinking of his next moves.
That was when he felt presences covering the entrance to the Quest Hall—none other than the three guards he had seen before.
"Stop!"
"We need you to show us your Lower Partner ID," they ordered.
But suddenly, they saw Ryuk's motion pause in the air and then begin to fade away into nothing.
"An afterimage!?"
In the next instant, they all turned their heads behind them, but when they spotted Ryuk, he was already seventy meters away.
They barely had time to react before he vanished entirely from their sight.
"Just who is that bastard, and why does he give me so many goosebumps?" one of the guards muttered, furrowing his brows as he stared toward the direction where Ryuk had disappeared.
But then, a new figure soon caught their gaze.
