Escape

"Now then... shall we get started?"

'No... not like this. I can't let it end like this!' The shady man thought to himself desperately.

If he was fated to die, unable to do anything about it, there was no use clinging to his life in such a miserable way.

'If I'm going to go out, I'm taking you with me!' He growled.

Instantly, a bright light began to radiate from within the man, causing him to throb violently in Noir's grasp.

"This is... to think you had something else up your sleeve..." Noir spoke in astonishment.

The man quickly gripped Noir tightly, ensuring he had no leeway to escape. His body was injured, and his pummeled face was barely recognizable from the way he looked in the past.

"You're going down with me!" He called, giving a maddening laugh as the light emanating from him shone even brighter.

In a moment, he would explode.

"... [Null]," Noir whispered.

Immediately, the bright light vanished.
