I’m Not Really Free Right Now

A few minutes before all hell broke loose in the Sacred Altar…

Ethan swam past Celestia’s Spirit, who was moving toward Vladimir’s direction.

At first, he thought that he was the one whom Celestia had discovered. Fortunately, it turned out to be someone else, and the realization made him sigh in relief.

He positioned himself as close to the altar as possible, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

“Don’t do anything, and wait for my signal,” Ethan said to Aria through telepathy. “As soon as I give you the signal, you will remove the seal from the Legacy Tome and dispel the barrier protecting it. I’ll handle the rest.”

“Un!” Aria nodded, then took deep breaths in order to calm herself down.

Both of them knew that they only had one chance to escape this place alive, so they were hoping that Vladimir would distract Celestia long enough to allow them to make their move.
