Considering her strength, it only took Liora a few moments to arrive at the capital. But the moment she approached the city, she felt that something was amiss.
"An illusion?", she whispered as she sensed the lack of "realness" in her surroundings.
Immediately, her demonic energy boiled. It coursed through her body like scorching magma, flowing through her veins.
The next moment, the space around her began to shatter as if it were made out of thin glass.
The illusion was dissolved.
Not much had changed. The landscapes around her and the scenery remained unchanged.
The only thing that was different was the capital in the distance.
The original bustling city had now become empty, devoid of any signs of life, much less of people.
There was only a single aura in the entire city, belonging to the person located deep within the imperial palace.
"Oh no! It has started!", the Duke, who arrived a few seconds later than Liora, exclaimed loudly.
