When the shadows swallowed Meralyn Skallion, the room was silent for a moment.
Teclos quickly moved and destroyed half of the room, leaving a distinct body imprint on the ground near the hand, as if she had been slammed into it with crushing force.
Her blood was all over the room, and it was properly destroyed, as if she had tried to put up a fight.
Then he wiped some of the blood across his mouth.
The barrier around the room trembled as Axel reached the hallway outside. Teclos let it weaken gradually, as if he had just destroyed it and it was dissipating now.
He struck the walls with dark mana, cutting through the carved runes around the office and breaking them apart violently so that the runes were completely ruined and unrecognizable.
Axel noticed a heartbeat later and rushed to the door. He stepped inside and scanned the whole room. He was on edge and prepared for a battle, but the only thing he saw was a destroyed room and blood everywhere.
He froze for a second.
