Chapter 96: The Oracle’s Revelation
The air in the charged with an electric tension as Susan stood at the center, her posture rigid yet trembling slightly.
Her companions, Adam and Leo, watched her closely, their expressions a mixture of anticipation and unease.
The Oracle’s presence was near, an otherworldly force that filled the room with a heavy, almost suffocating atmosphere.
Just as Susan prepared to speak the incantation to summon the Oracle, she hesitated, her lips parting but no words escaping.
Her sudden stillness sent a ripple of surprise through her companions. Adam frowned deeply, stepping closer.
"What’s wrong, Susan?" Adam asked, his voice firm but laced with concern.
Leo, standing beside him, crossed his arms and added, "You were about to call the Oracle. Why stop now?"
Susan turned to face them, her expression softening into a sheepish smile. "I... I don’t know what question to ask."
Adam blinked, taken aback. "What?" His hand met his forehead in exasperation. "You mean to tell me that after all this buildup, you have no question in mind?"
Her embarrassment deepened, and she gave a nervous laugh. "I got so caught up in the thought of summoning the Oracle that every question I had just... vanished."
