"This is an incredibly useful artifact," Adelia said with genuine admiration.
"It really is," Selena agreed with a nod. "Artifacts capable of long-distance teleportation are exceptionally rare."
Amon grinned.
"Exactly!"
He held the cube up proudly.
"With this, I can escape from dangerous situations whenever I want. No more life-and-death situations for me!"
Daren immediately snorted.
"Hah! Boy, don't get too excited."
He folded his thick arms.
"This artifact isn't as invincible as you're imagining."
Amon blinked.
"Huh?"
Daren pointed at the cube.
"Opening a teleportation portal isn't instantaneous. It takes a few seconds for the spatial tunnel to stabilize. If an enemy is already standing right in front of you, they can simply attack before the portal fully forms."
He continued patiently.
