Ordeal was trapped in eternal darkness.
The sky had long since lost its blue.
And yet here ..
Inside the witches' barrier .. It appeared exactly as he remembered it from his previous life.
Seeing his reaction, Luna smiled faintly.
"It isn't real," she said, her gaze also lifting.
"It's merely a false sky… one we use to deceive ourselves every day."
She walked forward.
Ethan followed.
Activating Wise Raven's Insight, he quickly understood what she meant.
His enhanced vision stripped away the illusion.
They stood within an enormous oval-shaped barrier.
The "sky" was nothing more than its ceiling.
Outside, the world still suffered beneath the oppressive eclipse.
"The barrier has taken on that hue due to the density of mana concentration…"
Luna turned to him in surprise.
"Incredible. You figured that out on your own."
Her praise was genuine.
"Pure mana manifests in a color close to celestial blue. It made it ideal for constructing this sanctuary."
