"What? Hilia used emergency teleportation, but disappeared?"
The news reached the frontline, and Melina's breath hitched involuntarily.
Blake, standing nearby, slightly furrowed his brow, "What's going on? Why wasn't the teleportation completed?"
The mage who came to report braced himself and said, "We aren't very clear on that. In such a situation, there's only one possibility..."
He didn't voice that possibility, hesitated, and after a while, said, "But we have found the location where Hilia initiated the teleportation."
He looked toward the majestic fortress at the center of the Deep Sea Fortress.
"It's inside that fortress, in the southeast corner."
A terrifying aura burst out from Blake and Melina, instantly pressing the reporting mage to the ground.
Melina reached out her hand, shielding the reporting mage from the oppressive force.
