The moment the Feran vanished, the pressure around me disappeared as well. To confirm it, I floated upward and this time, I did so effortlessly.
I raised my hand, and a glowing orb of light formed above my palm.
"So, the restrictions are gone," I muttered.
Looking down, I noticed the chain was no longer cracked. It looked completely normal, as if nothing had happened at all. For a second, I wondered if everything I had seen was an illusion, but it had felt too real, too heavy, to be fake.
I summoned my staff, deciding to test one more thing. Essence surged from my core into the weapon, the weight increasing as I channeled the Law of Polarity. Then, gripping it tightly, I swung down.
BOOM!
The impact shook my arms, the force rebounding through the staff and up my body but the chain didn't even scratch. Not a single mark.
I stepped back and exhaled, realizing that brute force wasn't going to do anything here. Whatever this place was, it wasn't bound by normal rules.
