What happened?
Lynch quickly left the room, following the direction of the sound, and made his way to the first-floor hall.
Near the Blood Pool on the first floor, by a Skeleton Altar, Avery was leaning against the altar, her face pale. Several meters in front of her, a boy around seven or eight years old was trapped by a golden diamond-shaped Barrier on the ground. Lynch recognized it as Avery's spell, Light Restriction.
"Let me out! You evil Witch!"
"I'll kill you!"
The boy furiously pounded on the Barrier, trying to break free, his small face full of anger.
Lynch walked over and glanced at Avery. Her face was even paler, likely due to the strain of using magic forcefully. Her injuries from the spiritual shatter earlier hadn't completely healed.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Avery shook her head and straightened up with difficulty. "I'm fine."
Lynch looked behind her. "What's this?"
