"…You're trapped in here with me."
Adam's cold voice thundered in the cultists' ears.
In the vast hall of Jomuran's administrative center, it was as if time itself had come to a standstill.
On the other side of the hall, Edsel's hand holding the Soul Lantern trembled as the red orb inside it pointed at "Orion".
The Mana Core Magi standing behind him — Morofin, Rigby, and Ayunka — were frozen in horror as they heard a different, youthful voice come out from "Orion's" mouth.
But no one was more horrified than Murphy, and then Vortigan and Elira.
Murphy, who had spent the most time with Orion, never realized when Adam had taken his place. The same was true for Vortigan and Elira. Though they had only conversed for less than a day, they couldn't tell at all.
Everything about Orion, the way he talked, the way he moved, his personality, his mana signature, nothing even remotely hinted at the fact that he had been replaced by the very man they were hunting.
