Inside the great hall, the light of the laws was clear and radiant, almost blinding.
On the animal-skin blanket laid in the corner, the wound on old soldier Bob's chest sometimes flashed with a strange, eerie dark-green glow.
Rainn had already opened her eyes.
She sat there quietly, allowing her younger sister to lean gently against her. Her gaze slowly shifted back and forth between the blood cocoon and the unconscious old soldier.
As a Primordial Miko, she could clearly feel the heavy tension in the void, stretched tight and pushed almost to its limit.
Aiden still leaned against the cold stone wall, his arms crossed over his chest. His body seemed to merge completely with the surrounding darkness.
Only the Sacred Artifact mark on the back of his right hand gave off a faint yet steady glow.
Through the mark, Zoey continued to send him weak, broken fragments of law information.
"Ugh..."
