Bab 993: Evolved Alchemy

The Grimoire opened, as a flash of bright white light rushed into my head. For a moment, I found myself within a different place altogether. I don't know if it was only my consciousness that was dragged inside, my soul, or perhaps this was an illusion, but it was definitely not teleportation.
