"Master!"
Ember reacted almost instantly, creating a noose and throwing it in my direction. I grabbed it just in time before I was completely sucked into the red portal.
"Ugh! No!"
However, it seems like Ember alone couldn't prevent the powerful force from pulling me inside. She was dragged several steps forward as my legs entered the portal.
"Not on my watch!"
Ying Yue quickly stepped in, grabbing the rope from the middle and pulling hard. My legs got out of the portal thanks to her effort, but the pulling force became even stronger.
"Arrrgh!"
My head ached as if it were being knocked by hammers on all sides. The voice from earlier repeated itself, making me lose strength in my hands for a moment.
"Will!"
Ying Yue tried to jump and grab my hands, but the pulling force was too powerful. Before she could even lean forward, I was already on the other side of the portal.
