The moment Ian and Ignysyl were displaced to another place, the noisy hustle and bustle of the market disappeared.
What they both felt next was a serene atmosphere, with the soft glow of mana lamps flickering around and the scent of incense drifting through the air, carrying hints of sandalwood and jasmine that could calm their minds.
'What is the Code?'
However, the calmness was abruptly interrupted as Ian suddenly heard a quiet voice inside his mind asking for the code.
And the most interesting part was his instinctive response, which even he didn't realize before spilling from his mouth unconsciously.
"Atali Awaits!"
"Hmm?"
Only after speaking the code aloud did Ian realize that he had been affected by some kind of strange spell.
Since the spell wasn't offensive and quite secretive, it directly affected him while he was being displaced, catching him off guard.
"What do you mean? Why are you suddenly shouting loudly?"
