Ethan was about to remind Leo to be careful, fearing that the magic formation might have been tampered with. But it was too late. With a loud thud, Leo's body vanished.
Thankfully, nothing went wrong. If it had, with the force Leo had used, his head might have been smashed to pieces.
The four of them quickly returned inside the mountain, sprinting toward the altar. Leo was incredibly fast. Everyone in the group, including Ethan, was skilled, but Leo was on another level. In the blink of an eye, he had already turned the corner and entered the corridor they had passed earlier. By the time Ethan and the others were halfway there, Leo was out of sight.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot echoed through the cavern.
Ethan's heart sank. He had specifically told Leo not to fire his weapon. The three of them hurried forward, rounding the corner to find Leo aiming his pistol at the altar.
