Will left the underground prison the same way he had entered it earlier, retracing every step through the narrow stone passages without hesitation.
The tunnel still carried the heavy scent of molten rock and old blood, and the distant glow from the lava pits continued to flicker faintly against the walls.
Before reaching the final gate, he paused briefly and manifested a shadow-born construct at his side. The dark figure rose soundlessly from the floor. Will instructed it to steal the key once again, repeating the same method he had used before, ensuring that nothing appeared disturbed once he left.
The shadow-born moved ahead silently and slipped through the narrow gap near the gate, retrieving the key without alerting any guards.
Once the task was completed, Will dismissed the construct and reactivated the invisibility trait on his Aeon Blade.
