As soon as they emerged from the cave's corridor, a space as vast as King Maggio's palace courtyard greeted them.
If magical candles had illuminated their path before, the cave chamber—its floor and walls covered in white tiles—was now lit by electric lamps.
Electric lights and prana generators, developed by Northern Continent, had been circulating in Western Continent for two decades, yet many regions and households still relied on oil lamps, candles, magical candles, and magical lamps. Even King Maggio's palace depended on magical lamps.
That was why this sight was somewhat surprising.
"This only proves how important this laboratory is," Mariel muttered as he halted, his eyes intensely focused on the demonic beasts standing in a unique formation.
They stared at Mariel sharply, ready to strike at any moment. They neither growled nor roared nor made a sound. The demonic beasts remained silent, their gazes filled with killing intent.
