Village

As Atticus stepped through the portal, it didn't quite feel like teleportation. To him, it was more like passing through a doorway.

He was met with an intense white light before the scenery shifted to something truly enchanting.

A lush grassland stretched out in every direction, and just ahead, about 100 meters away, was a walled village. The term "village" was used only because of its size, but its structure and buildings looked far more sophisticated.

Atticus noted the portal closing behind him just as he finished scanning the entire area.

'No guards.'

With this realization, light molecules began converging around the area, casting an illusion that would deceive any onlookers.

In the next moment, the head of the burly man, who was the leader of the group, separated from his body.

The last man in the group widened his eyes in shock, but before he could react, he suddenly lost connection to every single one of his limbs.

"H-huh?"
