Chelsie slowly turned her head toward Shaan behind her. Her face stiffened instantly, and her entire body began to tremble, as if she had seen something from the same direction where Shaan stood. That's strange… what's happening? Why is she looking at me like that?
"S-Shaan…" Chelsie slowly pointed downward with her trembling finger. "Th-the ground is cracking."
"H-Huh?"
Shaan looked down, and his face went pale at once. His heart pounded violently when he saw a wide crack spreading directly beneath his feet. Damn it—he had to think of a way out of this situation.
"W-what should I do?"
"... Shaan, slowly lift your feet and try to move away from the crack."
"U-uh… y-yeah. I agree."
Taking Nalira's advice, Shaan followed their instructions. He carefully lifted his foot, inch by inch, trying to step away from the裂 line in the ground. However, the situation only worsened. The crack spread faster and widened, creeping toward Nalira and Chelsie.
