..Dizzy.

This was the first thought Ihan had when he regained consciousness.

"Ughhh!"

It felt like a terrible hangover, the kind that leaves you in agony.

It felt as if his mind and body had been separated and were now reuniting…

His guess was that, based on his conversation with the [Gatekeeper], his consciousness had likely stayed trapped in that gate or whatever it was, and now he had finally returned.

That must have been why there was such a strong sense of disconnect between his mind and body.

And to confirm this hypothesis…

“…Did they die?”

“…”

“…”

“No, they’re not dead… Just in a coma.”

Maximus and Raq were lying unconscious, their eyes shut tight.

Even high-ranking knights like them didn’t react at all to Ihan’s murmurs.

They were still breathing, and their hearts were still beating, but there was no sign of the usual energy they radiated. They were likely in a comatose state.

In other words, their consciousness was probably trapped in the same illusionary world the Gatekeeper had mentioned.

“…It might take a bit of time.”@@novelbin@@

It was a half-hearted certainty, but Ihan was confident it would take a while for them to pass through the gate.

Ihan had unintentionally met the 'conditions' needed to break through the gate, but there was no guarantee they would be as fortunate as he was in meeting those conditions.

* "Bringing the holy relics won't be easy."

* "What are you talking about, old man?"

* "I can't really speak freely about this because it's under a restriction, but no one can share any information about the Sacred Vault. Neither through speech nor writing—nothing can be left behind."

* "?"

* "So, all I can advise is this: just 'follow your instincts.' That will lead you to the answer."

* "...What does that even mean?"

* "Hehe, the Light will guide you."

* The Gatekeeper.
