Though the giggle was soft and audible only to me, it had a profound effect on the surroundings. Several figures flickered right before our eyes. In that instant, Seraphine's expression changed.
However, despite the confusion, she still reacted.
In an instant, dark tendrils burst from the ground beneath them, surging toward the flickering figures and binding them completely.
Her reaction was instant.
Right then, her gaze shifted, meeting mine for just half-a-second before she eventually turned her attention towards the bound figures.
"Three."
Her words were soft, but I could feel the heaviness in them.
Indeed, she had bound three figures.
Meaning—
'Two of her teammates are gone.'
Without realizing it, her group had been infiltrated by five anomalies.
Seraphine's expression remained cold despite the situation as she turned towards one of her team members.
"Paul, find where they're hiding."
"Understood."
