Chapter 356. The Destructed World (3)
Glory was the capital of the Arcane Civilization. Once, it had been the very symbol of the most radiant civilization in the world. But that brilliance was now long gone.
In memory, Glory had been filled with towering structures that pierced the heavens. Yet now, a gray barrier loomed over the city that had once shone like gold.
"This feels like an enormous dome," Libre, the Dark Magic Tower Master, murmured. "A force that completely seals off the inside from the outside. How should I put it... It defies the laws of nature."
"So, what's beyond it?" Caron asked.
Even though the expedition stood quite a distance away, they could advance no further. The barrier looked as though the gray sky itself had been molded into a wall—made from the same energy as the Veil of the Void that trapped them inside.
"Hmm..." Libre studied the barrier for quite some time before breaking into a wide grin. He said cheerfully, "I have no idea."
"How admirable," Caron replied sarcastically.
"Just because I'm a dark mage doesn't mean I know every kind of dark magic, you know? Then, Caron—do you know every form of swordsmanship?" Libre snapped.
"Of course I do. Want me to prove it using your body?" Caron asked.
While Caron was busy menacing Libre, the Guardian Dragon Gratia cautiously pressed her hand against the barrier. Her voice was low and calm as she said, "There's no mistake. I can sense the Lord's energy beyond this veil. However... This place feels similar to Desertus."
"Are you sure?" Caron asked.
"Not entirely. Barriers like this prevent anyone from peering inside from the outside. Wasn't Desertus the same?" Gratia said.
