Leonard stood frozen in place, his eyes locked on the 'Sea god statue', now radiating a strange and ominous energy. He didn't dare touch it, not yet. Instead, he maintained a cautious distance, methodically gathering every valuable item from the alchemy lab and storing them in his 'space ring'.

A low, guttural murmur echoed from the statue, like a voice speaking in a language both ancient and incomprehensible. Leonard's grip on his staff tightened, his brow furrowing. Something wasn't right.

The tension snapped like a bowstring when the statue emitted a sudden, 'sharp and piercing sound', loud enough to make Leonard's ears ring. He dropped to one knee, hands clamping over his ears as the sound seemed to burrow into his very bones.
