"Let us go first." Klein said as soon as we ca close to the castle on the clouds.
I knew that it wouldn’t matter what I said to them, so I just gave a simple nod while waiting for them to scope out the area.
It wasn’t just Klein and the royal guards alone that were with , we had also brought the people from the Holy Empire as well.
After all, if they weren’t here, then the wyverns wouldn’t be as effective.
It was only with their holy magic that the wyverns would be able to fight against the corruption energy.
So it was necessary to bring them along.
After everything that we had been through, the priests and holy knights from the Holy Empire could be trusted. Though the way that they looked at from ti to ti was still concerning.
As soon as they approached the castle, they didn’t hesitate to release their fla breaths.
These were fla breaths that were filled with holy magic from the priests and the holy knights. That ant that these fla breaths weren’t as harmless as the divine energy flas that Joan released.
Holy magic was only able to imbue holy energy into the flas, it wasn’t as if it transford the flas.
When they were done, the flas had singed quite a bit of the area around the castle.
Without even doing anything, they had destroyed quite a bit of the landscaping.
Though to the royal guards, they would rather be safe than sorry.
It was better to ensure that the landing area was clear of any corruption energy than to land and be entangled by it.
However, the shots that they fired at the castle seed to have been stopped by sothing. It was as if there was so kind of barrier around the castle that had stopped all of the fla breaths that they shot at it.
It seed like Klein and the others wanted to fire more shots at the castle just in case, but I stopped them in the end.
"It’s a barrier that’s ant to protect the castle, don’t you think that it would have a proper purpose? It’s clearly there to protect those that want to attack the castle and steal the Relic of Destruction. Stop it before we end up causing a bigger ss."
Though they didn’t seem fully convinced, they did follow my orders to stop firing at the castle.
However, Klein also didn’t allow to go down right away.
Instead, he just sent his people down to make sure that the courtyard of the castle was completely cleared.
By the ti that they were done, it was charred.
There really wasn’t anything left in the courtyard with them shooting their fla breaths like this. The wild exterior that had been covered in vines and such had been completely turned into charcoal.
It was so dark that one might have even thought it was covered in corruption energy.
When I landed, I didn’t even bother looking around the area since there was nothing to find here. With how thorough they were, there really wasn’t a single thing that was left here as a result of their baptism by flas.
So that was why I was only interested in the castle.
For a barrier to still remain after all this ti, it was clear that there was sothing that was different about this castle. It ant that there had to be so kind of special chanism that was in this castle that was keeping this barrier up.
It was most likely sothing that was similar to the labyrinth that I had faced in all of the other ruins.
Though I was still curious just what this barrier was for.
But when I expected to hit the barrier, I found that there wasn’t anything that stopped .
I was the only one that this happened to.
The others all had sothing suddenly stop them from moving forward.
The mont that Klein and the others saw this, it really seed like they wanted to attack the barrier again.
But I stopped them once more before waving for Joan to co over as well.
The castle wasn’t big enough for her, so I didn’t have her follow . But now that they seed like they wanted to blow up the barrier around the castle, I really didn’t have a choice.
When Joan ca forward, she was able to easily pass through the barrier just like I had.
Klein and the others were confused why this was the case and they went forward to test the barrier again for themselves, but they weren’t able to make it through like Joan had.
"It’s a barrier against those that don’t have the Mark of God. I think that there’s nothing else that proves that this was a barrier that was created to keep out those that aren’t allowed in this place."
Klein and the other royal guards seed like they still wanted to break the barrier, but it was different for the holy knights and the priests now that I had said this.
The way that they looked at the barrier was also different.
It seed like they wanted to take a closer look at this barrier to see what it was exactly. But the way that they were looking at it was as if they were looking at so kind of holy relic.
This wasn’t strange since a barrier that was able to tell if soone had a Mark of God or not was certainly sothing that was related to the gods. Only gods would be able to create a barrier of this level.
So to them, it really was a holy barrier.
With them keeping Klein and the royal guards back, I was able to make my way over to the doors of the castle and head in.
When I actually ca to the doors, they opened on their own as if they sensed sothing.
It was just that the mont that the doors opened...
"What happened here?"
