"One!"
The moment the countdown ended, both veilwalkers disappeared. Trohan was the first to enter the disturbing phenomenon, the grin on his face widening.
Alex on the other hand, did not enter as he vowed. He came to an abrupt halt just inches away from touching the anomaly. He had no intention of entering since the beginning.
The apprehension he felt for the anomaly was no joke. Until he was certain what that was and what its effects were, he would remain cautious.
"We can say his escape attempt was successful." Alex muttered with a gentle smile. "Now let's see what comes of this…"
His eyes scanned the phenomenon calmly, trying to deduce anything new about it. But try as he might, there was nothing. The only thing he could do was wait for the hulmite on the other side.
Alex thought more about his current situation, his mind going to the beings living in this universe. Even at this very moment, the people were fighting for their lives.
