Chapter 65: Infernal Vortex Class ? (6)
Jade stiffened. That thought had brushed past his mind many times, and every time it did, he only had one concern.
How else is he going to find that strange library if he doesn’t enter a vortex? He was always lost in thought, finding an answer in that question. It wasn’t just because of his deal with Noir, but because of his own interest as well.

A tap on his shoulder snapped Jade from his reverie.
