While trembling, the blacksmith mustered his courage and reached out to the shelf.
Who knew, before his fingertips actually touched the precious books on the shelf, an unimaginably enormous power surged. There seemed to be an invisible energy shield in front of the books, where attacking energy that could numb one's body burst out from the shield.
Before the blacksmith could react at all, he was ruthlessly pushed away by the power.
His body suddenly flew backward and crashed into the back of one of the shelves.
Since the shelf was pinned to the ground, it was not affected by the crash at all. On the contrary, the unlucky blacksmith fell hard to the ground and groaned in pain.
Everyone else was shocked. 2 of the blacksmith's friends immediately jumped over to help him up.
