Keith brought Hannah and Miya to the outside world instead of simply spending ti with his daughter inside the spatial dinsion.
"Mama!" the girl exclaid as she ran to Clara.
Keith turned to look at Hannah, "You want to send you to your father?"
"That would be great, thank you." Hannah said and gave Keith a slight bow, only to find herself right in front of her father.
After he was done sending the girl back into his spatial dinsion, Keith walked toward Miya and Clara.
"Let's drink so soup and then we can leave." he said and then turned to look at Alia who was tending to the pot, "How much longer?"
"A few more minutes, have so patience…"
Keith nodded, but he suddenly felt his pinky twitch.
'Hm?' he looked around, but found no one. He opened up the system screens that were connected to the duke, Ken and a few more people's who held important positions in the duke's territory.
Keith silently read the contents on the screen, but did not find anything out of the like.
'The only thing that I'm suspicious about, is Ken… he went back with Asher that day, but he never t this master of his. Even though he searched for her… I wonder if she found out about my system seeds.'
'Hey system, you've been keeping a log of all system seeds right? Tell if sothing unexpected happened in the past two months.'
[Affirmative.]
[Going through the Database.]
Just as this ssage popped up, Keith's arm began to hurt. It wasn't just his pinky twitching anymore but sothing far more dangerous.
"What in the hell is going on…" he muttered as he stood straight in high alert, "Clara, armor on everyone of us. Now."
Clara wasted no ti in following his command and almost instantly, all four of them had sturdy armors protecting them.
Keith's arm pain went back to just his pinky twitching once again and a few seconds later, his system beeped, giving him an output.

'Lost connection with the server?' Keith asked himself as he gave the system screen a ntal click.
The contents on the screen changed and showed the second prince silently sipping so wine while he gazed out of the window from his room.
A few seconds passed with nothing happening, but all of a sudden, the shadow under him moved. Like a coiling serpent, it covered Zander from head to toe before the entire screen turned black.
It was the sa with the others and Keith had an idea on who it could have been, a very strong guess.
'I wanted to use her for the war but oh well, it looks like this bitch wants to go against now.'
Keith let out a sigh, but after a long ti, he finally felt a sense of danger. Anxiety slowly rose in his heart and he quickly realised that he was going into an internal panic mode.
'Where's my smoking pipe…' he thought to himself and brought it out from his spatial dinsion before lighting it up with a small fla that popped out from one of his finger tips.
He took a long drag and let out a heavy exhale, "Haaaaaa, feels way better."
"Does it now?" a sound ca from right behind him, making him jump slightly as he spun around.
"….." Keith silently looked around and then focused his attention on the three girls who were all staring at him. He couldn't see their expressions due to the helts covering their faces but the image of them giving him a look that said, "Is sothing wrong with your head?"
"Did you guys hear anything?" he asked, but all three of them shook their heads.
Alia walked towards him as she took out her two revolvers, "What's going on?"
"… I sense danger. Wait…" he said and turned his head to look at his shadow. 'It can't be right? Last ti it didn't work… what the fuck?'
His shadow moved independently.
Two holes ford at the top, imitating the eyes and a few centiters down, a wide and creepy mouth ford.
The fingers transford into sharp and long claws and it was the sa with the legs.
From the corner of his eyes, Keith saw the sa thing happening to Clara, Alia and Miya's shadows and he imdiately sent them into his spatial dinsion.
'Not on my watch… I wanna jump into my dinsion too, but I wanna clash against this bitch at least once. I'm not as weak as I was one year ago.' he thought and jumped backwards when he saw his shadow claw at him.
To his dismay, the shadow stuck to him. Just like a normal shadow would.
"Fuck." he cursed and ran around at full speed, only to get slashed by the claws of his own shadow.
Four deep gashes that exposed his bone were ford, but they healed almost instantly.
"LeT's PpLayyY MoReEe!" His shadow screeched, making Keith's ears hurt due to the high pitched scratchy voice.
"Fuck. You!" Keith cursed as he kicked, but to no avail since his foot just passed through the shadow.
With another swipe of it's claws, it gave him four more deep gashes but this ti on his shin.
Keith felt his bones getting cut but he felt a resistance, sothing that would only happen when a blade was dull. Just that this ti, it was claws instead of sharp tal.
He instantly turned down his sensitivity, but even with that, he felt helpless.
'An intangible creature that can attack , but I'm unable to deal any damage….'
"Co out you fucking coward!" Keith taunted, even though he didn't have high hopes of his enemy actually showing themselves.
He stopped running around and simply stood in place as he looked around, 'Only a dumb person would show themselves and even in the novel, this shadow bitch was extrely crafty…'
Multiple gashes were made on him, but Keith didn't react to them as they healed faster than the speed at which his shadow could attack.
"This whole thing is futile, you know? Just show yourself."
Just as he said that, the shadow stopped moving. It expanded outwards, rging with the shadows of the trees and expanding them in turn too.
Keith silently watched, ready to escape to his spatial dinsion at a mont's notice.
'Will it turn into so kind of giant monster now?' he thought to himself as he saw the shadow expand it's area but contrary to his expectations, the whole shadowy area began to move like it was so sort of liquid.
Similar to how waves and ripples form on water, the shadows began to show similar properties until a hand poked out from below.
Unlike Gerald's undead zombies or skeletons, this one looked like a random human's hand. Soon, a familiar looking human crawled out of the pool of darkness but Keith was simply just bewildered and confused.
A system screen imdiately popped up with a ntal command and there, he saw Ken eating his lunch at an inn. Keith then shifted his attention to the man in front of him, one who looked like an exact copy of the Ken who was in his system screen.
'She technically did actually create Ken so I shouldn't really be surprised if she creates more copies of him…' he thought as he took a deep breath and for the first ti, summoned one of the swords that was a part of War God's Inheritance.
Orangish red flas shot out from the blade, turning the blade bright red as the flas slowly got hotter and hotter.
"Let's play more, Keith. This is fun!" a cute voice ca out from the mouth of the Ken clone in front of him.
"Just answer one question… how did you manage to get past the restriction? Back then, your shadows just couldn't co near us as long as we had Clara's armor on." he asked.
The Ken clone in front of him didn't speak but Keith still got an answer; An answer that ca from behind him.

"Hik hik hik hik hik hikk!"
Keith rushed to his right first and then turned around, all in an attempt to keep both his enemies in his line of sight but when he saw another clone of Ken, he felt slightly annoyed.
'That hair bull shit won't work on even if you send a hundred clones. Just what in the hell are you trying?' he thought inwardly as he saw the second clone laugh in a creepy way.
"I wasn't able to touch you because you were blessed by Seraphina." The second Ken clone said as his body began to lt and take another shape.
Thick, sticky blobs of flesh squird all over the body until it finally ford the body of a petite girl. Her silvery white hair dropped down to the level of her knees and the one thing that took the most ti to form, was her face.
"That girl's awakened ability is highly connected to Seraphina, so I wasn't able to get close to you people back then. But now… now I can! Do you know why? Co on, answer my question. Take a guess! Isn't that how you like to play?"
