>>>> BACK TO EUNJI'S FIRST PERSON POV<<<<
My footsteps echoed throughout the cathedral.
BOOM.
The ancient stone beneath my boots fractured.
The towering pillars trembled as dust drifted from the ceiling.
Dark mana surged around me before breaking apart against my body.
I didn't stop.
BOOM.
Another step.
The stained-glass windows rattled.
Hairline cracks spread across the marble floor.
At the very end of the cathedral...
Beyond an altar overflowing with dark mana...
He was waiting.
Leonhart lounged carelessly upon the obsidian throne.
One leg rested over its armrest while a black dagger spun lazily above his fingers.
Toss.
Catch.
Toss.
Catch.
The faint metallic rhythm echoed through the silent hall.
He smiled the moment our eyes met.
The dagger landed neatly in his palm.
«"I knew you'd find your way here."»
He stood from the throne without the slightest hint of urgency.
