Chapter 98: Obstruction in my path

The place was different than he had imagined! The guards… All of them were lying on the ground, unmoving! There was not a single droplet of blood on the floor, which made it appear as if they were simply sleeping. 

It didn't make sense for all of them to fall asleep at the same time, which made Gabriel assured that either they were dead or they were unconscious. 

He also noticed another person in the room—the only person who wasn't lying on the ground.

Lelin was standing near one of the Numens, holding the box that Gabriel wanted! 

"There it goes." Lelin was slightly distracted by the box as if he needed all his focus to open the box. And surprised, he even managed to succeed in unlocking the box, which was said to be impossible to open. 

Gabriel didn't know why Lelin was here, but he couldn't let Lelin take what was in the box.
