Tailing Noir

I looked around, rubbing my eyes in doubt.

"... Did we go back to the start?"

The entire space before us was completely identical to the area from before, right after we entered. The position of the portal was even the same as how Goddess Zeta opened it.

To clear my doubt, Ember answered from the side.

"No, master. It seems like this place is a bit different."

Ember pointed forward, making me look toward where she was hinting. There, a large tornado was whirling, as if eating at everything around it, sucking them inside it.

As I stared at it, I also noticed how the energy in this place was a lot denser compared to the previous one. Here, the ambient energy seemed like a clear stream surrounding us, compared to the occasional strands I could see before.

All the energy present in the surrounding space was flowing away from the tornado as if it were running away from it.
