Chapter 246
Bernard clenched his fists. "So, it wasn’t an attack. It was a passive effect of Silas’ defenses."
The harpy nodded. "Yes, and it’s powerful. We couldn’t see through it or break free."
Bernard nodded, turning to his men. "We need to move carefully as we make sure the others are okay and alive. Stay alert and avoid looking directly at the territory."
As they took off, Bernard looked back at Silas territory with a frown on his face. This level of passive defense was new and troubling. They needed to prepare for the worst.
Back at Ursula’s domain, Ursula paced back and forth, worry etched on her face. She could only hope that her children are okay, if not she will have to turn Silas home and territory to ruins regardless of the consequences.
When Bernard and his team finally arrived, she rushed to meet them.
"Mother," Bernard said urgently, "we have news."
Ursula listened as Bernard relayed what they had learned. Her expression grew more serious with every word.
"It seems he really doesn’t want to make any move on us, this situation can be said to be our fault" Ursula said as she looked at Bernard.
Bernard nodded his head "He really is a smart demon, with such a passive defense on his shield, it seems like we are the one looking for problem with him"
Ursula showed a thinking look "The only conclusion we can draw now is his battle with Erik is about to start, it seems our action of helping Erik made his caution against us so he now hides his move incase we leak them to Erik"
