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 Josua,âs side, butâ¦
Josua,
Alex
Something had gone wrong.
All of them were on fire, their skins being scorched. This wasnât 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 Josua,, confused and enraged.
Josua,
Alex
âY⦠You lied..!â
âI will haunt you for the rest of your life!â
âArgh! I canât take this anymore! It hurts! My soul is going to be destroyed!â
Josua, 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.
Josua,
Alex
The expression on one of their faces was cold, not expressing any emotion on his face. On the
contrary, he was secretly surprised by the barrier, so much so he wanted to worship it.
âThe person who set this barrier up must be very powerful. Was it Grand Emperor Rowan, the leader of
the Ancient Alliance?â
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 wouldâve ended up with the same fate as those
charred bodiesâ¦
Itâs not like they havenât seen anyone die from the barrier, but having tens of powerful trialists die in
front of them was still a shocking and traumatic experience.
âThis barrier⦠Is literally a one way ticket to our graves!â
âThe forbidden spell is still in effect. It hasnât lost its effect after all.â
âBut⦠You! How are you still fine?â
After that traumatizing incident, they were shocked because nothing happened to Josua,.
Josua,
Alex
âHow are you unharmed when the others died such a horrible death?â
Just then, someone understood their situation. âThe Divine Heir was murdered, but the murderer
definitely isnât from our tribe, right? This guy is suspicious. I say heâs the one who killed the Divine
Heir!â
âHe⦠Heâs from Earth?â
âHe came into this mountain when we werenât paying attention, then⦠â
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 couldnât accept this, let alone the fact that they let him walk out scott free.
Making matters worse, a dozen or so of their people died just because of a mere lie he had made up.
âMay you be d*mned in hell!â
Josua, waved. âYou donât have to send me off! Oh and, hereâs some good advice for you all. Donât 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
donât even deserve to live. So run along now, while you still can, or your tribe will be erased from
history.â
Josua,
Alex
Josua, then walked down the stairs, leaving the anxiety ridden Olympians behind the barrier. Josua,
finally made it down the flight of golden stairs safely.
Josua,
Alex
Josua,
Alex
He then remembered somethingâ¦
âSion isnât from Earth either. I brought her along because sheâs trapped in the vase. But.. Did she get
burned alive by the power of the barrier too?â
He immediately took out the vase and checked inside. Yet all he saw was a shocking scene.
