A blinding orange light ignited at the base of an imposing mountain, and the figure of a white-haired lady materialized.
Aurora's fiery gaze scanned her surroundings, her guard raised to the peak.
'A forest…' she noted. There was greenery and wildlife surrounding her. After confirming that there were no immediate threats in the area, she turned her gaze toward the mountain.
The trees didn't just stop around her, they littered the mountain, its form appearing like a massive overgrown tree rather than a mountain made of stone.
Aurora's gaze suddenly narrowed into pinpricks. 'W-what…'
She raised her arms, gazing at them as though she couldn't believe her observation.
"No mana?" she muttered. She could feel her mana core. She could feel the mana surging through her body. However, there wasn't a single shred of mana in the area, and somehow, Aurora knew that it was everywhere.
