Chapter 665 Preparations

After their conversation with Noctis was done, Sunny and Kai left the sorcerer alone The immortal needed some time to make preparations, so they had a few hours left before the archer's treatin

After that, they were not going to see each other again until it was over, which would take at least a week

Walking through the beautiful garden of the Sanctuary, Kai remained silent for a bit, and then said with a smile:

"Well… I think that ell"

Sunny glanced at him with a dark expression

"You think?"
