The teleportation circle heading back to Hallbach Queendom's castle was destroyed by mysterious means. Axel couldn't believe what happened, but quickly snapped back to reality.
"Damn! Return Scrolls! You have one for going back to the castle, right?!"
"Y-Yes! I'll fetch some immediately!"
Even Henrietta was starting to panic.
After all, it should've been impossible to destroy a magic circle that was set up without physically breaking it. However, the circle shattered right before their eyes, undeniably broken.
Moments later, Henrietta returned with two scrolls.
"These are the last batch we have, unfortunately. Princess, Sir Axel, please..."
Axel didn't speak and simply grabbed one for himself. He unfurled it immediately… but nothing happened.
"..."
Even the return scrolls failed to work!
[Ah... Looks like you've been hit with a space-lock spell.]
Only then did Navi butt in, explaining what was going on.
