The Immediate Departure from the Land of Eternal Night

The fact that Ritchie managed to escape from the miniature prison was indeed beyond Kean's expectations.

"I must admit, I underestimated your abilities. I'm extremely curious—how exactly did you manage to break free from the miniature prison?" Kean inquired, refraining from launching an immediate attack on Ritchie.

To Kean, understanding the method of his adversary's escape was of paramount importance.

Ritchie, of course, had no intention of revealing his escape strategy.

"If you wish to know the answer, why don't you find out for yourself? Lock yourself in there and then figure out how to get out." Ritchie retorted with a defiant edge in his voice.

Without another word, Ritchie launched an unhesitant attack on Kean.

Ritchie commanded the shadows around him to morph into grotesque and terrifying creatures. These twisted monstrosities, though lacking physical form, posed a significant threat to any corporeal beings they encountered.
