Nothing more than a Pawn...

"I will make sure that you die here today..."

Tears of blood flowed from Abella's eyes as her hatred for Nathan was so strong that even the space-time fabric was trembling due to her anger.

Abella waved her hand, and just when she was about to cast another spell, something unexpected happened.

Abella suddenly found herself standing on the same altar that she had asked her summoned beasts to build.

"What?"

The magic circle on the altar began to glow dark red, as if made of blood, before Abella could understand what was happening.

Abella glanced all around her, and she also saw Shin and Thomas, who were standing right outside the altar's protective barrier.

She glanced at the sky and sensed that the death cage was still intact.

'What's going on? I clearly planned that I was going to die in that cage, and then I would have escaped with my soul. But right now I am outside the death cage with my real body?'
