"What happened after I entered that state in the Altar?"
Leona recalled the memory from over a month ago and recounted what happened after.
"When you stopped moving, everyone thought you had received some kind of revelation or trial from the Seven Gods. So we waited. But seeing that you still did not react even after multiple days, things became slightly worrying"...
"The Saintess, worried that something might have gone wrong, tried using her powers. However, nothing happened. You simply did not react to anything. You remained exactly the same. Completely frozen. Like time itself had stopped around you."
Leona lowered her gaze briefly.
"Then, the bad news arrived. We heard that the rear lines were attacked. The demons had launched a massive pincer offensive. The timing was too perfect. Your condition together with the sudden assault—everyone immediately assumed the demons were responsible."
Reinhardt listened with rapt attention.
