CHAPTER 212 - Barbara Subjugated.

Light flooded Barbara's vision, forcing her to squint. 

For a brief, blissful moment, she thought she was in heaven. After all, the last thing she remembered was Alex's hand closing in on her throat and darkness consuming her consciousness.

'Is this the heaven?' She wondered.

But the illusion was quickly shattered. 

As her eyes adjusted, the first thing she saw was not the gates of heaven nor the abyss of hell. It was Alex, sitting across from her, a calm smile on his face.

She momentarily paused, instinctively trying to move—but couldn't.

But then, she realized something. She was stuck. Her wrists and ankles were bound by chains shimmering with faint, golden runes. They weren't normal restraints; they were enchanted.

Those chains continuously absorbed her mana rapidly, making it impossible for her to use magic. But that was not all, as any physical struggle sent a numbing sensation through her limbs, making escape impossible.
