Emery was placed in an all-white chamber, its walls adorned with intricate runes that not only blocked him from casting any spells but also restrained his battle power by half. There were also magus guards stationed outside, constantly watching his every move through a transparent barrier.
Despite the restrictions, Emery remained calm. He knew he couldn't cast spatial spells to teleport out of the place, but he could still access his domain and his Khaos gate. He could leave if he wanted to, but he chose to stay. Sitting in a lotus position, he waited.
As he anticipated, Tessa eventually came to see him. Her expression was a mix of irritation and concern. "I warned you, but you didn't listen!"
Emery remained calm, his gaze steady. "And I told you that I would not stay silent," he replied. "Now that I am here, can you explain what is happening?"
Tessa took a deep sigh and began to reveal the truth behind the Karat faction's predicament.
