Her entire form jerked violently, a sharp gasp escaping her lips as an unbearable sensation coursed through her.
It wasn't just pain... it felt as if something deeper was being shaken, as though her very soul was being torn apart.
She stumbled back, her breathing ragged.
Kael immediately stepped forward and grabbed the bars as well, but aside from a faint tingling sensation, he felt nothing significant.

"Ivy! Ivy, what happened?" Kael's voice trembled as he crouched beside her, gently tapping her cheek.
Ivy forced herself to stay conscious, shaking her head weakly.
"This cage… it's made of something special… something that targets me specifically…"
A soft, chilling laughter echoed through the cave.
From the shadows, Roma stepped forward once again, and beside her stood Ferrero and Ariana.
Seeing them together, Ivy's expression darkened.
