The area where Ian's rock house stood was once an unremarkable corner on the stronghold's periphery.
But the very moment the eighty-one Will Runes in his Sea of Spirit formed an array and his Spiritual Power fully underwent Liquefaction...
BOOM!
An invisible, vast ripple suddenly spread out with the rock house at its center!
It was not a sound, not an Energy explosion, but a deeper kind of Rule Resonance.
The flow of Magic Power throughout the entire stronghold suddenly fell into disarray.
All the Wizards and Apprentices who were in Meditation, casting spells, or performing Alchemy felt a tremor in their Sea of Spirit.
"What's going on?!"
"My Meditation Method was interrupted!"
"The Magic Power is in an uproar!"
In the central plaza, the crowd of people trading and talking fell silent in an instant. Everyone looked toward the source of the ripple, uncertain and alarmed.
"Is this... the descent of a Rule?!"
