Buzz—
The Anti-Magic Scroll activated, and in an instant, Dean Bruce felt as if the entire space around him had frozen. The cars that had been speeding down the road abruptly came to a standstill.
Crack—crack—
A crisp sound echoed, and cracks appeared in the space around him, causing it to completely shatter.
When Dean Bruce blinked, the scenery before him had changed to an ancient street. However, the area was now filled with dense black mist, within which countless red glows flickered.
It felt as if thousands of evil spirits were hiding within the mist, all watching Dean Bruce with predatory eyes.
Looking up, the black mist began to converge, forming a humanoid figure. Though the figure was shrouded in darkness, its silhouette revealed distinct curves, indicating that it was a woman.
Tap, tap, tap—
As the figure fully materialized, the woman said nothing, merely stepping toward Dean Bruce.
