At this moment, the waves pounding the cave were incredibly fierce. Powerful shockwaves kept erupting.
The brush strokes of the scholars transcribing the precepts came to a sudden halt, as if the incessant murmurs had been silenced.
The sense of fear, born from the incomprehensible, seemed to creep slowly through the underground plaza.

At least, until then.
