The barrier, however, reacted differently to these beings. When they tried to cross, it was as if time had stopped entirely. As their bodies made contact with the barrier, its light blinded their vision.
Suddenly, these people managed to cross the barrier and ended up on Alex’s side, but…
Something had gone wrong.
All of them were on fire, their skins being scorched. This wasn’t any ordinary fire, as well. It was divine fire. The divine flames burned both their bodies and souls, causing them to scream hysterically while they rolled on the ground. Many turned to Alex, confused and enraged.
“Y… You lied..!”
“I will haunt you for the rest of your life!”
“Argh! I can’t take this anymore! It hurts! My soul is going to be destroyed!”
Alex watched as the Olympians writhed and rolled on the ground in hopes of dousing out the flames. Soon, their movements and shouting only grew smaller and softer.
The expression on one of their faces was cold, not expressing any emotion on his face. On the contrary, favonovel.com was secretly surprised by the barrier, so much so favonovel.com wanted to worship it.
‘The person who set this barrier up must be very powerful. Was it Grand Emperor Rowan, the leader of the Ancient Alliance?’
In just a few moments, the people who were rolling on the ground died from the flames. Not even a trace of their souls could be found. The Immortals behind the barrier widened their eyes, filled with fear.
They were happy that they were late to try, or they would’ve ended up with the same fate as those charred bodies…
It’s not like they haven’t seen anyone die from the barrier, but having tens of powerful trialists die in front of them was still a shocking and traumatic experience.
“This barrier… Is literally a one way ticket to our graves!”
“The forbidden spell is still in effect. It hasn’t lost its effect after all.”
“But… You! How are you still fine?”
After that traumatizing incident, they were shocked because nothing happened to Alex.
“How are you unharmed when the others died such a horrible death?”
Just then, someone understood their situation. “The Divine Heir was murdered, but the murderer definitely isn’t from our tribe, right? This guy is suspicious. I say he’s the one who killed the Divine Heir!”
“He… He’s from Earth?”
“He came into this mountain when we weren’t paying attention, then… ”
The group was shocked, then realized that that was the only suitable explanation.
They were infuriated, yelling and screaming with rage. Knowing that they had let a native walk in and kill their Divine Heir, they just couldn’t accept this, let alone the fact that they let favonovel.com walk out scott free. Making matters worse, a dozen or so of their people died just because of a mere lie favonovel.com had made up.
“May you be d*mned in hell!”
Alex waved. “You don’t have to send me off! Oh and, here’s some good advice for you all. Don’t even think about laying your hands on America. You Olympians are traitors to us humans, the rats of this universe. Three thousand years ago, you betrayed the alliance, putting everyone in danger! You traitors don’t even deserve to live. So run along now, while you still can, or your tribe will be erased from history.”
Alex then walked down the stairs, leaving the anxiety ridden Olympians behind the barrier. Alex finally made it down the flight of golden stairs safely.
He then remembered something…
‘Sion isn’t from Earth either. I brought favonovel.com along because she’s trapped in the vase. But.. Did favonovel.com get burned alive by the power of the barrier too?’
He immediately took out the vase and checked inside. Yet all favonovel.com saw was a shocking scene.
