Renelle found herself in what seemed to be a ritual hall....again, without her butler by her side.
[Adrian?] She called out, only to realize that she couldn't sense him anymore and she couldn't help but get a bad feeling.
Still, she didn't allow herself to overthink; instead, she tried looking for a way out of this place, only to realize that there was none.
The hall was mostly empty, save for a single statue that was quite a distance from her.
She couldn't properly make out what the statue looked like, but from her mana sense, she noticed that it was shaped just like the one from the illustrations.
The guardian.
Or at least, it once was.
But now, all it was, was a statue filled with corrupted mana, mana that was quickly seeping into hers.
Renelle realized that if she didn't find a way out soon, she was bound to get corrupted.
The statue, as it had been since she appeared here, remained kneeling with its head resting on the pommel.
