Having confirmed that he had merely returned to the hidden space in the basement, Shard recited the Spell Words and touched the base of the statue again, returning to that white mist. This place was too much like the Mist Area he entered after passing through the Gate of Time.
"Since one can directly enter the past by stepping through the 'Time Corridor', what would happen if I randomly wandered in the so-called 'Spatial Labyrinth', instead of following the marked path before me... Would I be shredded by the chaotic flow of space?"
Shard didn't have the courage to do so yet. After pondering for a moment, he called forth his Brass Life Ring. Immediately, his skin began to crack inch by inch, and golden Light Traces shimmered beneath the cracks. The area named "Time Corridor" that was opened with the Time Key also exhibited this phenomenon.
"Indeed, the effects of Divine Afterglow can also be manifested here."
