Alkmaar used his aura to repel the light shielding himself from the brightness of the room, but still it was able to distract him. He wasn't displeased at all, he seemed to be amused by what Mithos just did. He then illuminated his body with a bright light before he disappeared into nothingness. Luther seemed to be very displeased and when he tried to yell at his men he was stifled by Alkmaar who held out his hand and shook his head. He reminded Luther that there would be another opportunity. There was no need to rush it.

When they got into the clear back toward the entrance of the ruins where the portal that appeared disappeared, Ranathia took a seat on one of the broken slabs that laid tilted on the ground as she tried to recuperate herself after being hit by Alkmaar's attack. [b]"It looks like I was tricked into coming here where Alkmaar laid a trap to capture me. I didn't even see it coming either. I'm such a fool..."[/b] Ranathia said discouraged as she looked at the ground in disappointment about being deceived. The ruins were authentic, but they were used to lure her into a trap and she allowed herself to follow the bait. [b]"HOW COULD HAVE I BEEN SO CARELESS!?"[/b] She said in anger as she pounded her fist on the ground in anger. [b]"My own friend deceived me. I cannot believe he would betray me like that? What reason would he have for it?"[/b]
