Chapter 15 - 14 - The First Message
Darkness enveloped Lev's vision. As far as he could remember, he had lost consciousness, but the sensation he felt now wasn't like that of someone who had fainted. His mind was still active, able to think about things.
He couldn't control the direction of his gaze. His body felt very faint... Was it accurate to say he had turned into a ghost? He was confused about how to describe his current state.
'Where is this?' Rather than trying to understand what was happening, he focused on the strange scene before his eyes.
If he had to describe it in one word, he thought he was inside a cave. However, the interior of the cave was incredibly bizarre. From the floor to the ceiling, the height was no less than that of the tallest skyscraper on the Earth.
In the center of the cave's interior stood a massive altar. The altar was hexagonal, with majestic pillars firmly planted at each of its six corners.
Right in the middle of the grandeur of the altar was a girl bound by chains. Her knees were pressed to the ground, while her arms were raised and shackled by chains as thick as a human body. Her hands, feet, neck, and torso were all bound by six chains, each connected to the six pillars of the altar.
Although Lev was looking at her from the front, he couldn't see her face because she kept her head bowed. Not long after, she lifted her head, and her pink hair no longer blocked Lev's view of her face.
"Help..." Reading her lips, Lev understood what she was trying to say. However, he was shocked because the language she spoke wasn't one from the Avalon continent.
'English?'
He was stunned when the girl used English.
There was something even more shocking. If he could control his facial expression, he would have widened his eyes in disbelief. Although he couldn't control his expression, a spark of anger still flared in his heart.
