The bottomless darkness seemed to be pulled by some force from deep within, or forcefully pressed down by an invisible giant hand, causing it to suddenly collapse and form a frantic vortex several meters wide.
This vortex kept spinning towards the end of the darkness, getting deeper and deeper, like an ancient well.
At the same time, all the mirrors on Lumian's body shattered with a series of cracking sounds, and the metal elevator doors were suddenly covered with a grayish-white layer, as if they had been abraded by sand.
Immediately after, Lumian took a step forward and jumped into the vortex.
With the appearance of the vortex, he vaguely sensed his Mirror Substitution left with Franca.
At the same time, he knew that the vortex was created by the gaze and power he had drawn through the secret deed ritual, and that it would lead to his intended destination. He knew that if he kept falling in the vortex, he would likely reach where Franca was trapped.
