Crown Prince Haster slowly walked forward while everyone quietly followed behind him. No one spoke for several moments because the strange place before them had already shaken everyone to the core. His eyes carefully moved across the enormous magic circles, the ancient pillars, the flowing miasma, and finally stopped on the gigantic crimson cocoon standing at the center. His brows slowly furrowed while a grim expression appeared on his face.
"This..."
He quietly muttered under his breath.
"I never imagined we would find something like this."
His voice carried clear surprise while he slowly circled around the outer edge of the barrier. Every now and then, he stopped to carefully examine another part of the formation before looking toward Duke Osantra.
"Did any of you touch the barrier?"
Duke Osantra shook his head.
"We tried to get past it, but it threw us back immediately."
"We couldn't even step inside. It was incredibly strong."
