Noah blinked. For a moment, he couldn't understand what had happened.
The overwhelming pain was gone. The screams had vanished. Even the oppressive presence of the abomination had disappeared.
He slowly looked down at his hands.They were trembling slightly.
"Haaah..."
A soft breath escaped his lips, turning into a faint cloud of frost in the cold air.
"Akari?"
There was no answer. His expression changed. He immediately looked around.
She wasn't there.
Noah stood completely alone in the middle of a vast, barren landscape.
The ground beneath his feet was gray and lifeless, stretching endlessly toward the horizon.
Massive mountains rose in the distance, their surfaces covered in the same dull gray stone. Countless craters and enormous rocks were scattered across the landscape.
There wasn't a single tree, not a blade of grass and not even the slightest sign of life.
