'BANG!'
That single handgun shot felt like it changed my world.
I looked around, and the tall wooden bookshelves filled with tomes, as was typical in the library, were gone, replaced by a fairly spacious room devoid of furniture.
It was a vast, hollow space with little light.
I saw only a single chair and the remains of broken chains scattered around it.
On second thought, it seemed like the chair and chains were where Zeraxion was originally sealed—exactly like what I had seen in my brief glimpse when I fought Ulrich.
It turned out the library-like room was just a mere illusion created by Zeraxion.
It seemed the library was a fragment of his memory, and with his time and dimension spells having strengthened since Ulrich's defeat, he could easily design such illusion.
"Baron Atreus...!"
The soft, familiar female voice sounded about 10 meters behind me.
Her galloping steps and her distinctive voice made me smile because I knew who she was without having to look.
