Not just the book shelf... but the whole wall was moving.
To be precise... it was rotating around. the entire structure was mounted on some central axis, designed to swing open like a door rather than stand fixed against the wall. Ishiki's momentum carried him backward as the shelf completed a full rotation.
The wall where the shelf used to be was now just a normal wall that matched the simple color of all the other walls.
The skeleton stood there facing the wall and then dismissed the jian. The sword dispersed into motes of light, then it moved leisurely and slumped on one of the couches.
Ishiki straightened his body... though he was feeling a little dizzy and then there was the pain in his unhealed wound. For some reason... even his minor regeneration attribute was not enough to heal it completely.
He winced and looked around... just a moment ago this place was writhed in darkness... but now it was filled with orange, warm glow.
