The moment Thoren shook the bell, the atmosphere throughout the street changed instantly.
Ting.
The sound was not loud, nor did it travel very far, yet the moment that single note spread through the air.
Something invisible swept across the entire street.
The ordinary people grabbed their heads as deep grunts escaped from their throats.
Some dropped to one knee while others pressed both hands against their temples, their faces turning pale as a strange sensation spread through their minds.
"What is this...?"
"I can't..."
A woman stumbled against a wall, breathing heavily, while a man fell onto his knees and clenched his teeth, trying to endure the strange pressure that had suddenly appeared inside his head.
Even the soldiers behind Thoren felt something pass through their bodies. It was slightly painful, like a deep vibration that reached somewhere beyond their physical senses.
For the evil black creatures, however, it was an entirely different story.
