...
At that moment,
the door between the room and the hallway automatically shut.
Matthew's Blink was already activated at the first instance.
But the next second,
he felt a sharp pain in his forehead, as if he had smacked into a wall.
But there was clearly nothing in front of him!
"Plane disparity..."
Matthew was abruptly startled:
"I've been taken deep into the Shadow Plane!"
He looked around immediately.
He realized that he was actually above a familiarly gigantic Shadow Mountain Range!
Surrounding him was endless darkness.
Yet the sprawling mountain range obviously seemed "blacker" than the other shadows!
Matthew held his breath.
He certainly knew what he was facing.
"Galan..."
"Since when did you become Beckman's lapdog?"
Matthew opened up his Power of Domain to its fullest, resisting the shadow power coming from all directions.
He glanced at Lost Paradise.
The divine artefact seemed stuck, half beside Matthew, half in the core area of the tearing plane.
