The Melody of Panic was amplified. Its effect reached its peak.
Saelyr's eyes widened as her heart suddenly began beating faster.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Her breathing became heavier.
She instinctively stepped backward.
"What is this…?"
She knew something was wrong.
Her mind remained clear enough to understand that the formation master was attacking her in a strange way. But understanding the attack didn't make it disappear.
The Melody of Panic wasn't attacking her physical body or mind. It was affecting her soul.
Her heartbeat accelerated further.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A sudden sense of danger overwhelmed her. The Demon Vine in front of her moved, targeting one of her vitals. Soon, another Demon Vine followed. Then another. By this time, one could guess that this was how the Devil's Den operated.
Normally, Saelyr would have simply destroyed it.
Instead—
She jumped backward.
Swish!
The vine passed through the space where she had been standing.
