City of the Decisive Battle (11)

So what's going on now?

Rhode crossed his arms and gazed at the mental crystal in front of him. Eleanor, who stood beside him, also leaned against the wall, looking somewhat bored as she stretched out her hand and tapped the wall helplessly. It wasn't an illusion, but reality instead. At least for now, they hadn't encountered another attack and soon arrived at the third mental crystal that emanated Eleanor's aura. But what happened next was depressing to Rhode because… Nothing exactly happened.

That's right, nothing happened. Although Eleanor went up, touched and even tapped the mental crystal a few times, it didn't react in the slightest. It was as if it had malfunctioned and there was nothing either Rhode or her could do about it. And the fact that they expected another Eleanor to appear and fight them didn't happen either. In one sentence, things took a weird turn.
