Cold sweat covered his back densely.
He didn't know what he was afraid of, but an inexplicable fear crawled over him, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.
Casio slapped his aching head, the fragmented information he had previously seen quickly blurred, like a dream.
He stood in place, dazed for half a minute, before realizing that the amber-colored pool water had completely disappeared. He was standing on the empty surface of the pool, the carved mouth on the wall in front of him had vanished, replaced by a smooth, cold, black wall.
He tried bouncing and found the suction at the bottom of the pool was completely gone.
Casio immediately jumped up and clawed at the edge of the pool.
With a flip, he stood on the hall floor. He glanced down and saw the hall's surface filled with incomprehensible lines and symbols. However, it appeared to have been destroyed, with large blank areas and lines that abruptly ended halfway.
"Huh?"
