In the forest on the eastern outskirts of Sunpeak City, Elder Willowthorn immediately expressed his regret after seeing his barrier had killed someone.
"Ah, Holy Mother, I have sinned…" Elder Willowthorn began praying to redeem himself.
After getting thrown out of the Profound Pearl of Life, Valefor instructed him to silently protect Sunpeak City and the Heavenreacher without alerting the Celestial Kingdom.
Originally, Elder Willowthorn didn't see a problem with this. He was only asked to protect and not to kill. Alas, he couldn't stop others from throwing themselves head-first into his barrier and killing themselves.
Hopefully, the rest of the Celestials had learned from this.
…
Meanwhile, the patch of meat paste and blood on the invisible barrier was like a hammer nailing a stake into the hearts of the Celestials, shattering their confidence and instilling fear.
