Chapter 116: It Was Like Drifting Through Water

It was like drifting through water. Angeline’s surroundings were wrapped in darkness, but when she focused her gaze, she could perceive strange, minuscule symbols faintly emerging through the darkness, only to fade away again. She looked down and saw that she could see her hands perfectly well—yet their outer contours seemed somewhat hazy. She felt a terrible dread at this realization, as though her body would suddenly melt away and disperse like mist the moment she lost focus.

Angeline instinctively knew she was headed downwards. She tensed the muscles in her legs, but this did little to stop her gradual descent. The air had a sticky quality to it; she breathed in a bit through her nose, and spat it out with her mouth, doing her best to avoid inhaling too deeply. It would be terrible if it was poisonous. Although this was a situation that would send most into a panic, she was an S-Rank adventurer, and she knew how to maintain her composure.

Her sense of time was becoming increasingly vague, but eventually, her surroundings seemed to lighten up ever-so-slightly. It felt like she was resurfacing.

“Whoa!” Even though she had been sinking feetfirst, she suddenly felt like she was falling upside down, taking her by complete surprise. She immediately stuck out her hands and managed to roll safely.

Angeline spent a few moments assessing her situation. Apparently, she had somehow emerged from out of the ground, which was now solid beneath her. As soon as she had been cast out fully, gravity had begun to work properly once more, which had been the cause of her stumble. She shook her head to clear the still-lingering fog over her mind.

It was quite a strange space that she found herself in. It seemed to be a square room, and its walls, floor, and ceiling were all covered in a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The material was neither wood nor stone, and though it made a dull sound when she tapped her foot against it, there was absolutely no reverberation of the sound despite the room’s considerable vastness.

Close to the ceiling at the center of the room, a perfectly round red sphere floated without the slightest distortion rippling over its surface. Its red color was quite vivid in contrast to the inorganic black-and-white all around it.

She looked around keenly. Though she didn’t sense any hostility, she felt as though she were being watched. Perhaps Benjamin’s lackeys were keeping tabs on her.

Slowly, she gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Angeline walked up to the wall to inspect it. Each square of the checkerboard pattern was about the same size as her head. She placed her hand on it, and found it to be neither hot nor cold. When she pushed, she felt the substance had a bit of give to it, so she kicked it. It didn’t budge.

She drew her sword and poked the wall with the tip, but did not mar it with even the slightest scratch.
