I will find him!

After an Hour – Somewhere Near the Lava Sea

Krshhh! Space tore open as Robin emerged from the rift. His blood-red eyes shut tightly for a moment as he stretched his spiritual sense to its absolute limit. When he opened them again, his teeth clenched in frustration, "Not here either…"

As those words left his mouth, Robin raised his hand and made a slicing motion once more. Krrsh! A new spatial rift formed before him—though this time, it was barely the size of a clenched fist. Before he could force it any wider, his body suddenly plummeted from the sky!

"Argh...!!"

Without an energy shield to protect him, his battered body was assaulted by the sheer force of freefall. The air resistance alone was torture in his current state. Then, with a faint green glow flickering at the center of his chest—Woosh!—he managed to stabilize himself midair.
