The ruins gradually fell quiet.
There was no sound.
Time kept passing.
The entire dark ruin lay in deathly silence.
Shen Ye found it rather strange.
With all the commotion he had caused, the opposing sequence and the ogres it commanded should have mobilized.
A fierce battle should have followed.
But-
Why was there no movement at all now?
He waited a little longer.
"Hanged Shadow" had finished cooling down and could be used again.

A door.
It opened silently.
He stepped out, stood amid the deserted ruins, and looked around.
-There really were no enemies left.

The images vanished.
That deep voice spoke again:
