Chapter 1961: Chapter 1053: Yor’s Ordeal

In Jonas City,

Yor had already arrived near her home, just a few steps away from being able to lie down on her soft bed and properly enjoy this rare bit of rest.

If she weren’t worried that not bathing would make her smell, Yor might not have wanted to bathe at all, and would have just collapsed into sleep.

And right when she was about to reach home, Yor suddenly felt a strange ripple sweep past her.

This ripple was extremely faint, but Yor felt a burst of cold, as if she had suddenly been plunged into an icy, snowbound land.

In that instant, Yor even had a sudden feeling of suffocation.

But the feeling came quickly and left even faster, vanishing completely in a single moment.

Yor gasped for breath, her consciousness still a little dazed for an instant.

What just happened?

Yor checked her own condition and found no sign or feeling of injury, apart from the cold sweat on her forehead.

Moreover, the ripple from just now had vanished completely, leaving no Magic Power behind at all.

It was as if everything that had just happened had been nothing but Yor’s hallucination.

If this had been before, Yor might not have thought too much about it and would have just left.

Then, after returning, she would ask her father.

But now, her father, a Golden Mage of the Tower of Burning Embers, had already gone to the Abyss Battlefield.

And during this period of helping Cole handle all sorts of affairs regarding the Source of All Magic, Yor had also come to understand many Hidden things.

She knew very well that this kind of event was absolutely not something ordinary.

Not even the Magic research of those Schools could produce such a bizarre ripple.

However, it was obvious this wasn’t something she could handle alone right now.

In an instant, Yor made up her mind.

She took her Magic Wand out from her storage ring, held it in her hand, and pointed it at the sky.

Then a clear glow of Magic Power rose from the tip of the Magic Wand, shooting toward the sky, flashing as an extremely bright streak of light in the black night sky.

This streak of light rose above the night sky of Jonas City, dazzlingly bright.

At the same time, Yor took out a Communication Tool and sent a message to Cole, informing him of the situation here.

Yor understood that what she was encountering now was very dangerous; even if it seemed like making a big fuss, she couldn’t hesitate.

If someone really was secretly plotting something in Jonas at this time, with the Abyss Blood Battle ongoing, it definitely wouldn’t be anything simple.

Yor was sure her decision had been very quick; she’d almost wasted no time.

But soon Yor’s expression changed, and her heart sank slightly.

Because neither the Magic signal she had cast into the sky nor the message she had sent to Cole received any response.

If it could be said that for some reason Cole might have failed to notice her message, then the Magic signal was so eye-catching that the patrol guards of Jonas City should definitely have noticed it.

Moreover, with so many people in the city, there should definitely be someone who saw her signal and came over to check the situation.

But as one second after another passed, no one appeared here.

At the same time, Yor could feel a chill of coldness slowly spreading from the surrounding air.

The world around her also suddenly fell silent; the chirping of insects, birdsong—every sound disappeared completely.

Yor even felt at this moment as if she had been stripped away from the familiar streets of the past and placed in another World altogether.

As expected, something’s gone wrong!

Yor bit her lip, suppressing the tension in her heart.

Panic would be useless now; she had to quickly find a way to get out of here.

She could be sure her current Status was absolutely not right; she had never experienced anything like this before.

And that gradually intensifying sense of danger—could it be that some Evil God was about to strike at the Pan-Continent Mage Association?

If that were really the case, then the place she was now in was definitely not ordinary.

The only good news, perhaps, was that her own Strength was very low.

As someone who wasn’t at Golden Rank, she probably wouldn’t be taken too seriously by that powerhouse targeting the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

When did I fall into a trap?

Yor Thought calmly, her face slightly pale from nervousness, her slender hand gripping the Magic Wand tightly, as if trying to draw some Strength from it.

Was it when I felt that strange ripple?

Yor recalled every detail from before, Thinking about ways to resolve this.

Perhaps it was precisely because of that ripple that I suddenly fell into this bizarre Space.

That ripple... seemed to have come from that direction!

Yor looked toward one side; it was exactly the little alley she had glanced at when she sensed that strange ripple.

But now, the ordinary alley of the past was filled with an eerie aura in Yor’s eyes.

In her sight, even though the light that had once shone there had disappeared, the Shadows cast on the alley walls and ground had not.

She even felt those Shadows faintly writhing as the chill spread.

Yor initially thought this was her illusion, but soon she realized she was not mistaken.

Those Shadows were like living things, slowly twisting and constantly spreading, unfurling before her along those blue-grey wall bricks.

Yor felt an extremely dense malice, as if a ferocious beast were staring at her like a tiger eyeing its prey, wanting to Devour her completely.

She instinctively wanted to run, but after taking a step back, she forcibly suppressed her body’s subconscious impulse.

Yor knew very well that the alley in front of her might be her only chance.
