Eli looked into the dark void where the devourer's path was supposed to lead to.
The void was nothing but desolate darkness and Eli could feel that there was a hint of resistance from an invisible barrier, making Eli feel subtle fear.
It also made her feel like once she stepped in the void, she would either fall into a bottomless pit or be flicked away by an invisible force as punishment for trespassing into a forbidden zone.
"Don't be afraid, I will be here with you." Leon's soothing voice reached Eli's ears, effectively washing away her fears and doubts.
"Alright…" Readjusting her mind, Eli looked at Leon, indicating that she was ready for the next mission - to open the devourer's path.
Leon led his lady towards the void, firmly holding her hands. He was afraid that he would lose her along the way, so he would occasionally glance back and check if Eli was fine.
