Chapter 58: Someone In The Room!?
A sense of bewilderment crept over him.
’What is this barrier? Who dares to seal her mind?’ Gavriel’s gaze locked onto Iris, his expression resembling a scientist determined to cleave open her skull to check her mind.
This was a new experience for him; he could hear her thoughts, but her memories remained veiled from his sight as if someone had placed a seal on her mind.
’No, there must be some mistake,’ Gavriel muttered to himself as he moved and appeared right in front of Iris. He took her hand and made another attempt to delve into her memories but encountered only darkness.
Just before Gavriel could make another try, an invisible force suddenly hurled him backward. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying several meters away from Iris, only coming to a stop when his back slammed against the wall. His eyes remained fixed on Iris, filled with a mixture of shock and horror.
’W-Who are you? Show yourself!’ Gavriel’s mental shout reverberated, the urgency clear in his thoughts. He recognized someone else’s presence in the room, yet that person remained hidden, concealed from his sight.
Worried that someone might pose a threat to Iris, Gavriel straightened up and scanned the area. However, his search was fruitless, making him even more unsure.
’Am I wrong?’ Gavriel muttered, his mind tangled with uncertainty, though his vigilance remained unwavering. ’But who has the strength to toss me as if I were only a feather?’ he mused. No human, not even Iris, could bestow such power on him.
As Gavriel frantically surveyed the surroundings for any trace of the invisible assailant, a frigid voice suddenly echoed within his mind. ’Lay a finger on her again, and I shall throw your soul to the deepest abyss of hell!’
