Rewind time to half an hour ago: Bettel was frantically rushing toward the castle with his soldiers.
However, suddenly the sky lit up and immediately went dark again!
This was actually an illusion. When their backs were turned to the intense and rapid flash of light, it created this reversed visual disorientation.
Bettel, who was riding on a horse, froze for a moment, not knowing what was going on. Then, he heard a loud bang like thunder erupting a little behind his head.
His eardrums were almost shattered.
Even the well-trained horses were now neighing uneasily in fear.
Bettel was not a bad rider, and the horse beneath him was quite stout and spirited. He spent less than two seconds to calm it down, and then he looked back and his eyes and mouth gradually widened.
