At this moment, everyone in Vivian's team, including Shien and Tierre who were still chatting privately, looked ahead.
But in the next second, everyone could not help but be stunned.
"There's nothing here …"
Lucia murmured in a daze.
That's right.
In front of everyone, apart from the same old road, there was nothing that Vivian could identify the location of the target.
"Wait …"
Only Shien, with the skill [Mana Sense], clearly sensed something was wrong here.
Vivian looked ahead and said to the crowd.
"It's not that there's nothing here, it's just that we can't see it."
Vivian's words were immediately affirmed by the mages in the team.
"I can feel the subtle flow of mana here." Melica seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "Could it be a barrier?"
"That's right." Vivian suddenly smiled, and said, "Someone must have set up a barrier here."
"And it's a very high-level barrier," Tierre said coldly. Dieyer said coldly, "Shielding, concealment, protection, and confusion. Just from the surface, I can think of four effects."
"In other words …" Lucia said uncertainly, "Is it really here?"
The answer was very obvious.
If it wasn't here, how could such a high-level barrier appear out of nowhere?
Who would believe it without any clues?
"So, we've found the right place." Vivian continued to look ahead, and then asked Melica, "Melica, can you break this barrier?"
"Ugh …" Melica suddenly showed a very troubled expression, and said, "Such a high-level barrier is rare even in the Elven Homeland, I'm not too sure."
"Then can you directly destroy the barrier?" Tierre looked at Melica, and said, "If you use the [Demon Sword], you should be able to forcibly break the barrier."
The [Demon Sword] was not only an extremely powerful ultimate skill, but it could also rely on its nature to cause real damage to existences that had no physical body and were immune to physical attacks.
Barriers were also non-physical barriers that had no physical body, so if the power of the [Demon Sword] was enough, it was completely possible to use it to split open the barrier.
Melica thought for a moment, and then was about to nod.
But at this moment …
"I think it's better not to do this."
Shien, who had been staring in the direction of the barrier since the beginning, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Melica could not help but be stunned.
"Huh?"
Lumia was also surprised.
Even Vivian and Tierre paused, and then turned to look at Shien.
"What's wrong?" Vivian asked with a straight face. "Did you notice anything wrong?"
Obviously, Vivian took Shien's words very seriously.
But this time, Vivian seemed to have overestimated.
"I don't know much about barriers, and I don't have any related skills in this area, so I didn't find anything wrong." Sean shook his head, but his tone sounded very weak. "However, if I'm not wrong, this boundary may have been launched with space magic. Even the 'Demon Sword' can't split space itself, right?" he said.
"A spatial magic barrier?" Vivian was surprised. "Is that true?"
"A spatial magic barrier?" Vivian was surprised. "Is that true?" Melica was also shocked, and said, "Could it be that the person who created this barrier can use Space Magic?"
"Spatial magic …" Lumia said, trembling. "Isn't that a very rare and difficult magic?"
"Oh?" Shien's eyes turned slightly, and he asked, "Is this magic very difficult?"
The one who answered this question was not Melica or Vivian, but Tierre, who seemed to have thought of something after hearing Shien's words, and fell into deep thought.
"Spatial magic is famous for being very difficult to learn. It's said that it's a magic system created by the Demon King himself. Even among the Demons, there are very few high-level beings who are involved in this magic system," Tierre said in a deep voice. "The number of humans who use spatial magic is much fewer than the Demons. Even in history, I'm afraid you can't find more than ten people who use spatial magic."
"That's right!" Melica continued Tierre's words, and said in a loud voice, "In the human race, once a Magician who can use spatial magic appears, he will immediately be treated like a state guest, and be invited into the palace to become the exclusive court Magician of the royal family. Even the Protoss will pay special attention to those who can use spatial magic!"
"… Well, that's a common setting." Shien was speechless for a long time, and then sighed. "After all, it involves space, so it's only natural that it's rare and difficult. I understand."
Unfortunately, although Shien could understand, it did not mean that the others could.
"If the target is a high-level Magician who can use spatial magic, then this trip might be a little troublesome." Vivian became serious, and as if talking to herself, she said, "Should we go back and think about it?"
It seemed that she had seen a corner of the target's strength, and for safety reasons, Vivian did not want to barge in head-on.
The others probably had the same idea.
"I agree." Melica was the first to express her opinion. "The target is a spatial magic user, and we don't know if he has any companions. If we barge in like this, if there's a conflict, we might all be killed."
"… I'm fine with anything." Tierre thought for a moment, and then said calmly, "Since even the [Demon Sword] can't break through the barrier here, I have no other way to deal with it."
"I … I also agree." Lucia raised her hand, and said in a low voice, "It seems very impolite to barge in like this."
No one in Vivian's team dared to act rashly. It was obvious that Space Magic held a very high position in their hearts.
This scene made Shien scratch his face.
"That …" Shien asked, "Is this person someone we must meet?"
That one sentence attracted everyone's attention.
"Yes." Vivian also looked at Shien. After staring at him for a while, she nodded heavily, and said, "We must have a good talk with this person first."
This could be said to be the most urgent matter.
Shien could sense Vivian's determination from her tone.
So, Shien crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
Thinking of how Vivian had taken care of him so far, and how she had clearly discovered his secret, but still helped him hide it, Shien muttered in his heart.
(It's not bad to return the favor here.)
Thinking of this, Shien opened his eyes, raised his head, and looked forward.
Then, Shien took a deep breath.
"Check the water meter —!"
A loud shout came out of Shien's mouth, and it echoed in the surroundings for a long time.
