The one who considers others as fools is a fool herself. How could a Witch who has lived for hundreds of years be an unintelligent simpleton?
When intelligence levels are matched, victory often depends on the information at hand. If Locke had previously seen the opening of the Divine Realm, Negris's self-assumed advantaged tactics would easily be seen through.
Negris, who was duped, couldn't save face and angrily threatened, "Aren't you afraid we'll kill you?"
Locke made a gesture as if holding something in her hand, and then said, "No, look at my Guardian Barrier. If I block the door, none of you can leave."
With her words, a translucent shield appeared around her, closely protecting her within it.
Durken couldn't help but exclaim, "Eh? The divine seal of the Guardian is with you?"
"You're familiar with the Guardian Barrier?" Locke asked in surprise.
