"Shut it down. Dismantle the core."
With no time to think, Lynch practically roared the command.
Though Jinke and Sea Song, who had long since become skilled hands at this, didn't understand what was happening, they could tell from Lynch's tone that it was urgent.
They immediately cut the Magic Power supply and shut down the Teleportation Gate. Jinke, with extreme efficiency, dismantled the stone disc's core once again.
The entire sequence of actions was practiced and fluid, like flowing water.
The shimmering, mirror-like surface vanished in an instant.
At the same time, the gaze cast by that mysterious existence was abruptly cut off, and the terrifying sense of crisis filling Lynch's mind suddenly disappeared.
"Whew!~"
Lynch let out a heavy breath. His heart was still pounding wildly in his chest, and his entire back had become soaked in sweat without him even realizing it.
'That gaze... what was it?'
