Outside of the Ancient Ruins, the people of the security forces stationed in the hideout of the Transcendent Organization were in uproar, talking frantically about the strange phenomenon that had just occurred.
"What the hell was that?! It looked as if all the stars were bleeding."
"I hope it wasn't anything serious."
"The phenomenon lasted only for a minute, but I don't think I will be able to forget it for the rest of my life."
"Same here."
No one, regardless of level, could shake the unease settling over them and everyone struggled to make sense of what they had just witnessed.
A short distance from the crowd, a deep hole descended into the underground section of the hideout, leading directly to the entrance of the Ancient Ruins.
The tall black tower that had once stood above it had been destroyed by the security forces, and with the aid of earth power users, they had stabilized the passage to the underground area, allowing easy access to the ruins.
