Chapter 227: Another Demonic Sword?

As opposed to the portals that gave off an aura leading towards the unknown, the mound of stones in front of us emanated a restrictive presence, as if threatening to imprison anyone who dared step too close. "This isn't a space manipulation seal like the ones before," I gasped. "This is … a trapping seal?"

And it wasn't only the purpose of the seal that felt different. Even its spiritual power didn't seem the same as the one that led me to this chamber. Did this mean that the existence calling to me earlier wasn't the seal itself, but actually what the seal had trapped inside?
