Ch 135: Useless Protection - Part 2

Layla's hand twitched as she tried to reach her magic again, but something blocked her access.

She could make an educated guess as to why this was all happening - it had something to do with her magic core.

It had cracked a little bit, and the pain had made Layla pass out. 

'My mind must have made all this up to protect and distract me from the pain of a broken core. However, I feel I should not indulge in this place for long. I need to claw my way back.'

Layla had heard Mary's voice in the last moments when she lost consciousness. She knew that she had been rescued (if not killed) in her last moments.

The only way to know what happened would be to wake up and ask what happened.

"C-Cannot wake up!"

"We need to protect the boss!"

"It is dangerous out there."

The secretary was the first to behave abnormally, followed by the others.
