Mass Death in Falan City

Perhaps because they were in an emergency situation, no one was brave enough to ask why Elijah could solve the complex runes by himself. Everyone kept their mouths shut in an agitated state until they heard cracking sounds coming from all sides.

"Calm down. The cracking sounds are because I managed to decipher the runes surrounding this place."

Before everyone became panicked, Elijah explained the origin of the cracking sounds. The form of magic surrounding the place was almost the same as illusion magic. After the magic disappeared, the cracking sound would sound like an eggshell being cracked slowly.
