Lyra was so scared by the words that she couldn't even bring herself to move… if her shivering wasn't counted, that is.
She felt a suffocating weight come not just from the realization of the horror presented before her, and how the Sect she had once known had rotted beyond reason or choice, but the presence of Matriarch Macie's aura as well.
She was only in the high tiers of Gold Mancy. What chance did she stand against an existence like Matriarch Macie, who was a step away from Ascended Cloud Resonance?
Suddenly, that pressure vanished and Lyra almost collapsed to the ground.
Matriarch Macie looked away and Lyra thought that that was her cue to leave, but she could hardly move even after several seconds, no matter how hard she willed it.
But it seemed that she was wrong. Matriarch Macie still had one other thing to say.
