Alen, look at the old man in front of him in disbelief as if he have asked him to overcome an neigh impossible hurdle.
Senior you must be joking, right ?? Asked Alen, as if he couldn't believe his ear, being said the old man test have already surpassed the limits of heaven and earth to what Alen was expecting.
Alen looked at the old man with hope as well as helplessness, but only a glance on the old man shattered all his hope rising his helplessness to another level.
Seeing the old man serious look Alen cursed himself , fc*k is this old man might have lost it by being here alone for god know how much time, did he really think that I could break the barrier by myself , which he himself was unable to create even a small dent through it , despite using that powerful attack, earlier.
Alen was at a loss of words, he can't imagine, what the old man was thinking giving him such as impossible task , but he also can't argue with him, nor he have audacity to do so.
Struck with indifferent situation, he can only Accept his miserable fate, he walked toward the old man at the platform with a sigh, as there was no pressure as well as any restriction of the mysterious force it didn't took him much time before closing the distance between him and the old man.
He looked at the spherical barrier in front of him with interest, he was still in awe of the mysterious and hidden power of the barrier which was easily able to cancel such an powerful attack like some child play, looking closely he noticed that the spherical barrier is constantly rotating on his axis, except for that he also notice something peculiar, inside the closed pack space of the barrier.
He looked at old man with curiosity as he seems to noticed indifferent about him, he carefully looked at the old man, seeing him up close Alen became somewhat startled by the old man appearance, he was not different from any human being with flesh and blood unlike him, the old man soul projection before him seems more Detailed and alive.
Alen could see every muscle veins and artillery of the old man's body, even the blood could be seen flowing through the veins of the old man, but the speed in which the blood is flowing is too slow, if not for concentrating on it specifically, one may ignore it remarking the blood as being frozen.
Shitt, the time flow is slower by at least ten fold inside the barrier exclaimed Alen loudly due to the huge shock he wasn't able to keep his voice low.
Not bad, brat to be able to perceive something, that would be ignored by many ignorant , one's I must admit you do posses some ability praise the old man after hearing Alen.
Fk, would you die, in calling me by name , you cheeky old man" he complained inside , ignoring the old man praise completely.
Alen hesitantly approached closely toward the barrier when he suddenly heard the old man voice once again.
Don't worry although the defensive power of the barrier can be somewhat good, it doesn't posses any attack power in it" said the old man as if he has noticed Alen hesitation.
Alen frowned after he heard the old man mentioning 'somewhat good defensive power' of the barrier but he also feel relived inside, being confirmed that the barrier doesn't posses any threat to him.
Without further ado, he simply placed both of his hand on the surface of the massive spherical barrier just like he did when entering the room , nothing happened Alen wasn't impatient he have already confirmed that this strange ability of his do work, but it takes some times before operating.
But that can't be said for the old man too, though he really didn't believe any of the Alen's rubbish , but for some reason he was looking at Alen with intimidating Gaze as if he believe Alen's rubbish talk to be true.
Time passed, As the old man became more restless, Not able to hold his urge anymore he asked alen with cold voice , " boy do you really think that you could destroy the barrier just by doing that, if it was that easy, I should have already free myself eons ago." Said the old man scoffing.
Alen frowned and said in calmed tone Senior, you have to remain patient , didn't I tell you already that this ability of mine requires some time before activating Said Alen, giggling inside, seeing the old man restless.
The old man only snorted, and didn't say anything anymore.
Fifteen or so minutes passed but nothing happen, the old man simple intimidating glare has changed to threatening one, even Alen couldn't maintain his calm in such a condition.
What is going on, why isn't there any kind of reaction till now Alen thought to himself, looking at the old man above who seems to be looking at him like an predator looking at its prey.
Seeing the old man, Alen heart sank even more, he started shivering due to fear and anxiety.
Suddenly the old man voice resounded one more time through the hall "boy, you should prepare yourself if the barrier is still not destroyed in the next thirty second , you can't blame me for being unreasonable" said the old man in cold tone.
Hearing the old man, Alen became paler his whole body started trembling like earthquake while beds of sweat started to trickle down from his forehead.
He lokked at the old man with pleading eyes as he talked " senior you mustn't say something like ...
Just when he was to plead to old man for mercy something incredible happen the mysterious runes on Alen backside resurfaces once again and shined brightly filling the whole chamber with golden lights.
Crack
Crack
Cracking sounds resounded throughout the chamber continuously.
The golden dazzling light soon disappeared after some moment, as if Alen have lost all his sense he stood there like a statue with both his hand in the air.
Just as the Golden dissipate completely Alen senses Also returned back to him, he looked ahead and soon a large grin appeared on his face after which he started laughing madly.
See, this senior didn't I told you already that no barrier can hold himself before my omnipotent ability, hahahahah" said alen praising himself as high as he can while thinking inside " Now , then old man praise my mighty self as if you have seen your God, hehehe" He thought to himself.
He looked at the old man direction while grinning inside.
Ah"….
Surprised by what he is seeing, Alen couldn't help but let out a sound.
The might and composed old man before him, was looking at him with an shocked expression on his face, aghast with his mouth opened wide as if he have seen something truly shocking.
Alen was bewildered by the sudden change in old man ,from the moments he arrived here he have only seen the cold and poised self of the old man, so The shocking expression on the old man have really caught him off-guard
As there is no barrier anymore , Alen hurriedly approached toward the old man.
Senior, senior are you all right, said Alen shouting at the old man to bring him back from his shocked condition.
Awaken by the sudden shout around him the old man shrugged before looking in the direction of the shouts.
A young man with an anxious expression soon came to his sight, seeing the young the old man hurriedly distance himself from him.
Startled by the old man odd behaviour Alen Anxiously approched the old man
Senior are you all right?? .
Stop, Don't came near me just give me some moments before asking anything said the old man with a sigh.
Alen stopped, hearing the old man word's.
He soon found himself a location at on of the corner of the platform in the northwest direction for meditating.
Time passed by, And soon an hour passed just like that, the old man haven't speak anything nor did he moved in the slightest in the last hour, making Alen anxious by the second.
The old man is my only chance to get me out of this place, if anything were to happens to him, I don't even how much time will it cost me before finding another exit from this hell" said Alen murmured to himself, while looking at the old man.
Hmm, a loud hummed sound resounded through the hall.
Hearing the sound alen hurriedly approached the old man, he sighed after looking at old man who seems to be in much more better condition than before
Senior, how are you now?? Asked alen with confusion.
Stop your act brat, I know you don't even care about me" said the old man in an annoyed way looking at anxious Alen.
How can you say that senior I really do---
Ok enough, of your act now, First, tell me why do you posses an cursed element said the old man with an deadly serious expression cutting alen in the middle of his speech.
