Rishi looked at her, and his pain kept increasing; due to it, he could not feel his heartbeat. It was as if someone was clutching his heart. He looked at her, Trying to read her eyes, trying to know if she was also feeling something similar. What was this feeling? Why has everything around them changed?
Why is no one trying to disturb them? Is this nature giving them their personal space? The leaves kept falling from the tree above them. It had yellow leaves with a brownish shade that kept falling. At last, he saw that it was getting awkward, and she had her mouth shut as if some spell had sealed her lips temporarily.
He tried to use his shadow space, but seeing her keep staring at him, he struggled to use even the basic technique and bring out the items. He had barely opened the space and put his shaking hand inside, his eyes still staring at her. It was then, with a cold gust, that the distance between them that looked like an eternity was just a few centimeters; he had not even felt her breath when two lips met each other.
He forgot about other things as his widened eyes closed. Lost in this warm and soft pleasure of two hearts coming close, they didn't realize how much time had passed. After some time, the girl pushed him back and turned back with a shade of red on her face. The boy opened his eyes slowly with his mouth wide open, his eyes staring at her back.
His heartbeat returned, and he felt his heart beating like a drum. Quickly taking out the things he had prepared for her, he put them in a box made up of shadow energy before approaching her and taking out his Runic pen. He inscribed something in her shadow and put the Box inside it; while he was doing it he also put various other treasures inside it Ores, Elixirs, Herbs, Cores; it had many more types of treasures. He then created a crystal and inscribed a 'Magic Rune' on it to quickly store everything he wanted to say before passing it to her soft feather-like hand.
"I will wait for you." That's what she said in a low tone before using the ticket and disappearing.
"Wait," he said, raising his hand and trying to stop her, but unfortunately for him, she had already left. He stood at the same place, his body not moving an inch, as if a Medusa had winked at him. His mind was still confused about what had happened and unable to process everything.
After a moment, his hand retracted slowly, clenching into a fist. He closed his eyes as his other hand touched his lips, still not believing what had happened. His heart was racing rapidly, and he started to calm down. He released a long sigh. "It looks like I am still too immature with this stuff. Now that I think it feels refreshing."
He started moving toward the deeper region. The sun was meeting the horizon, and it was becoming darker with time. He touched his heart, trying to remember the beautiful moment he had just experienced a moment ago. His expression then suddenly became cold. "Life is sometimes so cruel. I am in such a good mood, but what I must do next will ruin it and make me question my beliefs. I hope this feeling will help me recover and find my true self after this is over."
"To assure me that everything I am doing is worth it, no matter the risks I must take or the hell I must go through. I would be satisfied knowing that it all counts and makes me closer to my dream of providing her with all the joy in the world."
As he finished speaking, his expression started to become cold. What he would do next needed him to bring out his worst self. "I must use my all today; I can't be distracted. If I do anything stupid, I will fail to get what I want, and even my life could be in danger."
He stopped at the base of Lizardman Village. It looked quite quiet now, as if there were no one. He ignored everything and said, "Come out; it's time for the hunt.", The wind around him started moving faster, and the temperature started dropping. Next, the shadows moved, making weird laughing sounds. Numerous shadow creatures appeared out of nowhere and surrounded him.
They looked excited. It was embedded in their nature to hunt. They quickly lined correctly as an army, with no one daring to be even a little undisciplined. "I know many of you have been unable to satisfy your thirst, but this hunt is special. You can kill until you are satisfied."
His expression suddenly got serious, and his eyes started glowing red, releasing an intoxicating presence that made even the skins of the shadow creatures crawl. "Just keep in mind when I say escape. You must escape and get to the shrine without caring about anything else. You also have to make sure to bring the Shadow Creatures that join us later, especially you leaders."
His eyes shifted toward the four priests. The bodies of the shadow priests shook. They nodded their heads, gulping their non-existing saliva, forgetting that they were different now. No trace of arrogance could be felt from them—not because they were down to earth but because of the fear.
They have seen the boy in front of them getting serious not many times, but whenever he did, rivers of blood flowed. Chaos and destruction followed him. For a moment, he changed and became sadistic, enjoying the agony of others. They had never seen someone as terrifying as him in their long lives.
"Alright, Follow me. Keep in mind to not show yourself till I order," he said before he started moving towards the deeper region of the forest. Multiple shadows followed him, hiding their presence. Only uncountable black rays could be seen flickering from one shadow to another.

A girl appeared out of nowhere in front of a large crowd, still lost in her thoughts. Her face and ears were still carrying a red hue, trembling. She was still lost in her thoughts, not paying attention to her surroundings. Her raising heartbeat has still not calmed down, and sorrow appears again in her eyes when she thinks of him.
Multiple people rushed at her, each for different reasons. First were the ones covered in white dresses; they quickly checked her condition. The second was a middle-aged lady with a trace of concern in her eyes. She was the professor who had brought her here.
Followed by people interested in knowing about what was happening inside and reporters who asked her many questions, the girl was not able to take all of it at once. She ignored everyone and asked her professor to take her away. The professor brought Kajal away from the crowd.
After reaching a secluded place and using a barrier to prevent anyone from prying on their cover, she asked, "Kajal, are you alright, and where is Rishi?"
Kajal explained everything, only hiding personal things. The professors had many questions, but she only stopped after she was satisfied. She brought Kajal to an empty room before deciding to go back and wait for Rishi. From what Kajal said, he would come back soon, and he was going to do something very dangerous.
She quickly arranged an Elite Medical Team for an emergency situation, moving back to the place where the entrance of the Secret Realm had once appeared. She waited patiently, hoping everything would be alright. She was angry at them. Why were they increasing her stress?
