Dorian raised his arm and summoned his beast. A massive 5-Star Storm Bear came out from a portal beside him.

    02 remain unfazed. "A 5-Star Beast, huh? Impressive, but hardly surprising. Let''s see how it fares against this."

    02 also raised his hand. A portal appeared beside him. From it, a 5-Star Dark Wolf appeared.

    Dorian was surprised. "A 5-Star beast? Who are you people? And how do you have such power?"

    02 smirked. "Oh, this goes far deeper than you could ever imagine, Garran. But I''m not here to satisfy your curiosity. Shall we begin?"

    Dorian wasted no time. He pointed toward the dark wolf. "Storm Bear, Electric Charge! Now!"

    The storm bear roared. It rushed toward the dark wolf. Bolts of lightning danced around its body.

    02''s smirk deepened. "Fade Step."

    The Dark Wolf growled low before melting into the shadows. Its movement became faster than before.

    Dorian frowned as he scanned the battlefield. The storm bear paused briefly, looking for the dark wolf. "It''s using the night to its advantage. But shadows can''t hide you forever."

    02 chuckled. He mocked him. "Perhaps. But they''re more than enough for what comes next. Dark Wolf, Night Fang!"

    The Dark Wolf emerged from the shadows. It locked onto the storm bear. Its fang was glowing with dark energy.

    Dorian looked at the scene and shouted. "Wind Swipe!"

    The storm bear reacted instantly. Wind swirled around its claw as it met the Dark Wolf''s attack head-on.

    The clash sent shockwaves through the air. The wind dispersed the wolf''s momentum and forced it to retreat.

    The clash sent shockwaves rippling through the air, the wind dispersing the wolf''s momentum and forcing it to retreat.

    02 smirked for a brief moment. "You''re better than I expected, Garran. But I don''t have time to play games."

    Dorian became angry and growled. "Then stop wasting time. Face me with everything you''ve got."

    02''s voice suddenly came from Dorian''s behind. "Who said I''m hiding?"

    Dorian turned sharply, but it was too late. 02 emerged from the shadows and attacked him across Dorian''s back. "Night Slash!"

    Dorian let out a pained grunt as the force of the blow sent him stumbling forward. His knees hit the ground, and he caught himself with one claw.

    02 smirked as he flexed his claws. "Surprised? You should be. Speed and shadows will always outmatch brute strength."

    Dorian gritted his teeth. He pushed himself to his feet and growled. "This... isn''t over."

    02 chuckled. He stepped closer. "Oh, Dorian. You''re already on your knees. Do you really think you can stand a chance?"

    02 leaned forward. "You might as well surrender and accept your insignificance."

    Dorian growled. "Who the hell are you? You invade my estate and bring ruin to my family."

    02 smirked. He tilted his head as if considering the question. "Who am I?"

    02 then smirked and teased him. "You don''t need to know that, Garran."

    He raised his right claws and slowly walked toward Garran. "The only thing you need to know is—"

    Before he could finish, a white panther suddenly emerged from the shadows. Its eye locked onto 02. Before 02 could react, it lunged forward and its powerful jaws snapped shut around 02''s head.

    02 let out a strangled gasp. His body was convulsing as the panther''s jaw crushed his skull.

    Blood splattered across the ground as the panther released him, letting his lifeless body collapse. It then turned its attention to Dorian.

    Dorian staggered back. He didn''t know what was happening. "What... what in the hell is this?"

    The panther growled as it stepped aside. From behind it, a woman appeared. She was wearing a simple silver robe.

    Dorian felt his breath catching in his throat. He was really shocked when he saw the woman. "You... it... it can''t be..."

    The woman stepped forward. Her silver panther stayed silently beside her. "Oh, Dorian. Surely you haven''t forgotten about me already?"

    Dorian''s knees became weak as he fell down to his knees in front of Luna. "You... Sadrina...how the hell can you be here?"
