Damon remained silent.
His hands were shaking.
He knew only one thing that could cause something like this.
One thing that would hurt her in exchange for something else.
Knowledge.
Sylvia had always possessed an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
And the Unknown God had given her a book containing infinite knowledge.
All she had to do was ask.
But in exchange for that knowledge, she had to pay the price.
The Unknown God's Tome.
Damon's eyes widened.
"Sylvia... where are you?"
The moment he said those words, a vast shadow suddenly swept across the capital.
Damon looked up.
A massive cloud had appeared above the city, spreading across the sky and blocking out the sunlight.
For a brief moment, the entire capital fell strangely quiet.
Then alarms began to blare.
Warning bells echoed throughout the streets as the city's magical barrier activated, a vast dome of energy spreading across the capital.
People screamed.
Knights rushed into the streets.
