But Annan's recent plan encountered an unexpected obstacle.
Or perhaps it shouldn't be called an obstacle—
Just as Annan and Isaac were leaving the tavern's room, before they had a chance to depart,
In the next moment, Annan and Isaac keenly sensed... faint spatial fluctuations coming from somewhere in the tavern.
But Annan didn't make any particular actions, simply stopping in place, his pupils suddenly igniting with a bright glow. Isaac, however, stepped forward, shielding half of Annan's body behind him.
Two or three seconds later, they heard a crisp and loud bark, inexplicably echoing out of thin air.
The air in front of Annan, like paper being scorched by candle flame, revealed a small black hole.
At first, the charred black hole was only the size of a fist, but it rapidly spread outward, dissolving over time, and amidst the strange aroma of burning, it became a hole the size of a basketball.
