The explosion caused by the black golem's detonation caused Nazarene to tremble at its very foundation.
From wherever, the mushroom-shaped dust cloud could be spotted, leaving Elena and her group speechless by the phenomenon.
"What happened?" That was the question on everyone's lips. Of course, they didn't have the time to figure it out, what with Richard standing before the gates leading to the Heart of Nazarene.
The gates looked quite imposing with two gargoyles seated on both ends and the gates' design depicted the glories of Nazarene, showing them the greatest inventions that the Alchemists of Nazarene had birthed.
As Richard stared at the gargoyles, he made to move when Elena stopped him. "What's going on, Richard?"
Richard paused in his tracks, turning to face Elena only to be greeted by several suspicious looks.
If anything, he had been caught out.
"Is something wrong?" of course, he couldn't rat himself out so quickly.
