Chapter 457 - 457: Trouble in Estel part 14

[Diana's hall]

[Samurai Jacks point of view]

All of us, after having stuck outside of the Rock and Sea Dungeon, being denied entry into Estel by this mysterious silver barrier, finally get inside Estel. The first thing that comes to our mind were indeed, wanted to cheer and have a small celebration, but

"Yes... Sir Ceanu Reaves... Was killed by the fake doppelgangers of the first prince..." [Ray]

Ray, who got the help of the Yuki-ona to find a path leading towards Open Field Dungeon (from the Ice Dungeon), tell us the shocking news after one of the Valkyrie suddenly ask about Sir Ceanu Reaves

"You... You're kidding right?!" [Female elf adventure]

"Please tell me this is just a joke" [Bladel]

"Unfortunately... It wasn't" [Vampire Guard A]

None of us couldn't believe that word. Looking around, we can definitely tell that wasn't a joke at all. The atmosphere is a heavy one. Plus, death isn't something to joke with, more so if the person is someone like Sir Ceanu Reaves. As hard as it's to swallow that bitter hard pill, all of us, who couldn't do anything at that time, can only offer him a piece of our thoughts and prayers, and ask him to lend us his strength, in this pressing moment

"Now that it come to this... Any idea how we can sneak inside the castle?" [Swordman adventure]

We couldn't help to mourn for too long, and the Swordman break the ice, asking for any plan they devised so far

"Truthfully, none" [Ram]

"All of us had come up with thousands and one idea, but none seems to work thus far" [Crow]

"Though having all of you here will definitely open up more possibilities" [Gizzere]

As I fear, we have no concrete plan yet on how to breakthrough the silver barrier surrounded the castle. The elite hidden vampires guard that work with Princess Diana had tried numerous way to get inside the castle, but their efforts bore no fruit thus far, and thus, all of us here sit down and have a discussion inside this big hall. All of us got this feeling, that we will definitely be here, until the morning light hit our face, just to come up with a solution

"No. Already asked her, she won't even budge" [Claude]

"Thought so, but just to confirm it" [Seo Ah]

"The fact that Mahsuri doesn't even bother moving means that the threat Isn't that significant in her eyes. Though I don't know what exactly to feel with it" [Liyana]

Some people from Malsia and Kiserre are also here to help us. Our gratitude for them to come and aid us in desperate time

Suggestions after suggestions are thrown out. Use space magic to infiltrate. Already done and fail. Brute force? Of course, the first on the list that will definitely fail. Using drainage system to sneak in? Blocked by the silver barrier

"Hmm..." [Khamishah]

"Mrs Saga, what's with that long hmm?" [Kanji]

"I was just thinking, shouldn't we ask Goddess Achalasia herself for some help?" [Khamishah]

After being pointed out by the SS rank adventure, all eyes are now on one of the favourite daughter of the Goddess, Seo Ah, the one with the same power as Saintess Rumia. Naturally she become a bit anxious with all the eye staring at her, but regardless, she try her best to communicate with Goddess Achalasia and ask her for a solution

"The same way the heroes breakthrough the barrier of the fallen god on their fated battle?" [Seo Ah]

"I see... Never thought of trying that one before" [Filvisar]

"But, we don't have any of the heroes with us" [Guard A]

An excellent point, but

"Let just heard what Mr Filvisar has to offer" [Jacks]

"Stage is all your" [Alice]

"Guess you're too hasty out there" [Guard C]

"My bad" [Guard A]

From Seo Ah to the old elf, we listen closely as to what the old hero have to say. He clears out his throat and begin his side of explanation

"I'm sure some of you are already aware of it, but for those who haven't, during the disaster that is the fallen god awakening, she will be surrounded by her thick powerful miasma and barrier that prevent any sort of harm coming her way, as she keep advancing to wreck havoc on this world. One of the reason why the heroes are the only one with the power to stop her, is because we are the only one capable of going through the barrier without being severely affected by it" [Filvisar]

"Affected? What do you mean by that?" [Ray]

"As she keeps advancing, those miasma of her will turn everything, from plants to monster to us, into her follower, into the devil, even against their own will. That's why, as soon as the fallen god awaken, countries are shut down, as they pray that the heroes will defeat the fallen god as soon as possible, as to prevent the ever increasing number of devils" [Filvisar]

Such tragedy... Anything and everything (except for the ten heroes) will surely be affected by the miasma, and turn into a devil, ever increasing the strength of the fallen god armies as it awaken. Tales of countless devil charging through countries one after another doesn't sound impossible after hearing that one

"So, if the heroes can enter the barrier of the fallen god unaffected, we should then find someone that will not be affected by the barrier? Is that what you want to say?" [Lisa]

"But the heroes are also affected by it mind you, albeit not as much as the other, but that is a discussion for another time. What the Goddess meant just now, is simply the method that us heroes use to crack through the barrier of the fallen god" [Filvisar]

"And that method is?" [Flinar]

"Prayer to the goddess" [Filvisar]

"Huh?" [Bond]

Not only Bond, all of us share the same reaction, but nonetheless, we keep staring at Mr Filvisar, for explanation

"Intrigue aren't you. Just let me explain first" [Filvisar]
