The room on the first floor of the ancient castle.
Richard sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, clearly feeling his body grow heavier bit by bit, like a stone sinking rapidly in water, while his consciousness grew lighter and floated up swiftly like a feather caught in the wind.
A sense of vibration arose, a cellular-level tremor resulting from the separation of consciousness from the body. Richard distinctly sensed one burning magnetic line from the star penetrating his body, inputting energy to accelerate the separation process.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The vibration quickly reached its peak, and under the control of his spiritual power, his consciousness moved toward the outside of his body.
But suddenly, Richard felt an invisible force acting upon his consciousness, pushing it back just as it was about to leave his body.
