From the abyss, monsters had been pouring out endlessly.
Wave after wave of twisted creatures surged toward the surface world.
But then, something strange began to happen.
The abyss itself started to collapse.
It was like a balloon that had been punctured, shrinking rapidly in on itself.
…
In the Storm Sea, Isabella had already vanished completely from this world.
She had been sealed away within the Corridor of Time.
Daniel considered this attempt of his to be bold, perhaps even reckless.
To store Isabella in the Corridor of Time was the equivalent of leaving himself a hidden card to play.
But there was a problem.
Isabella was not someone he could control.
If he ever released her, there was no guarantee she would choose to help him.
She might just as easily turn against him.
Even so, Daniel hated waste.
And so he had taken the risk and sealed her away for later use.
The real reason, however, lay deeper.
Isabella harbored a burning hatred for Aurelia.
