Cale noticed Hannah pick her sword up and leave after hearing his response. She seemed to have nothing else to say. He heard Jack�s voice again.

� Hannah is working hard every day in order to gain the strength to defeat the evil Arm and save the Empire. She wants to help you, young master-nim.

Jack�s perfectly innocent smile made Cale feel a bit guilty. However, he brushed it aside as he had something to do.

�Miss Cage, what is the status of the stone pillar?�

Cage started to frown.

� It started yesterday.

She recalled what she noticed yesterday.

� I woke up feeling a bit off. It felt as if the God of Death had dropped by. I decided to take a walk around the Forest of Darkness with Miss Hannah just in case. I thought that an enemy might have arrived.

� However, we did not find anybody.

No monsters even approached them because Hannah had both her golden aura and black smoke coming from her body. That was why Cage had thought that it was just an odd dream.

� But it was the moment we entered the underground plaza�

Bang!

A loud noise had echoed from inside of the plaza.

Cage ran toward the source of the noise in shock and managed to figure out the source.

� This exploded and made that loud noise.

A piece of chain was on her palm. It was part of the many chains that were covering the stone pillar. A piece of the seal around it had exploded.

� The stone pillar started to be a bit weird after that.

Cage continued to speak with an iffy expression.

� I thinking bouncing is a better word than shaking for what it is doing.

Cale ended up with the same expression as Cage at that moment.

�Are there still chains around it?�

� Yes. Approximately 1/5th of the chains are still there. I put a temporary seal on the broken areas with the power of the God of Death.

�It sounds like I need to hurry back.�

Cage waved her hand in order to say that it was not needed. JrNovels.com
