The changes that happened next were so sudden and so abrupt, that neither Shun Long nor Little Black could do more than just register them before they took place.
First, the white light around the golden stele had turned almost blinding, quickly filling the entire foggy space inside the 'Stone of Time'. Even Little Black, who now had strength equivalent to a peak rank 7 magic beast couldn't help but close his eyes, before he instinctively wrapped his gigantic body around his master.
But even that... was meaningless.
Shun Long was no different from the black dragon in that regard. In front of the blinding white light, even under Little Black's protection, he couldn't help but shut his eyes, as the loud humming from the ancient stele rang out next, piercing straight into his ears.
It was the sound of metal vibrating violently, and yet for some reason, Shun Long could feel his own soul reacting to it, as if the sound was calling for him.
''No, that's not it!''
