The words didn't exactly sound like a roar or powerful, yet White watched a sonic wave ripple towards him.
He crossed his hand, trying to grip his feet hard to the void, but failed.
He was thrown far back, about three meters, before he rose upright, eyes narrowed into the distance.
'To continue or go away as instructed?'
It didn't take him more than three seconds to decide.
He stepped forward.
There were more chains on his path, each further entangled, and he kept his distance from them, careful not to touch even one.
In such numbers, they obviously served a purpose, and whatever that was, he wanted no part of it.
The voice only called out once, and it took White about an hour of venturing quietly through the chains before he finally arrived at the center.
Just like he guessed, all the chains coalesced there, but what lay at the center was completely unexpected.
It was a being, suspended in the depthless void.
