Chapter 270 Torment Me Forever

“I’m sorry, just… wait a minute. Let me get this straight because it seems absolutely f*****g unbelievable. What you’re saying is, some poor bastard’s soul is being used to hold a magickal barrier that stops all communications within it?” Felix asked in disbelief.

“Pretty much, yes. It prevents all communication from inside of the barrier, with the outside. It can only be destroyed by the same signature of magic that it was constructed with, so any magick that doesn’t match with the caster’s variant of magick, simply won’t work.” Lord Brarthroroz answered.

“So how the hell are we going to take it down?” Allen murmured. “Lexi…” Ann breathed as Lord Brarthroroz’s eyes snapped to her.

“As much as I dislike the truth of your statement, I cannot deny that you are right.” he frowned.

“Why Lexi? Why does it have to be her and not you?” Allen interrupted fiercely, “She’s already unstable and we’ve seen how using her … powers, abilities, magick whatever you want to call it, has affected her! What if this happens again and none of us are close enough to help her and she gets hurt?!”

“I understand your concern Allen, and to prevent that from happening, I will be with her.” Lord Brarthroroz answered calmly, fully aware that Alien’s protective instincts were going into overdrive with the help of his wolf.

“Why does she even have to be involved if you’re going anyway?! He’s your brother! Why can’t you deal with this!” Allen roared as Adam growled warningly for him not to continue.

“Because whether you like it or not, Allen, Lexi is a powerhouse who’s magickal signature matches both the ancient line of the gods, and the dark, twisted fury of the Daemons. She is a child of both worlds, Allen, and she stands the best chance of being able to penetrate this barrier.” Lord Brarthroroz answered him patiently, “Perhaps she will even find a way to sever the connection and return some part of their souls to any that are still living.”
