Chapter 984: "The Barrier Mechanism"
Chapter 984: “The Barrier Mechanism”
The freezing process was so fast, yet people couldn’t even see the ice layer on the victims’ bodies!
Actually, the ones freezing were the victim’s inner organs and not the outer body.
The moment the victim’s heart got frozen, they would lose their life.
At first, no one noticed anything, but when many people felt sleepy at the same time and some even suddenly ‘fainted’ with purple lips and pale faces…
The leaders realized something was wrong.
“What happens? How come so many people fainted now?”
Ainsley got the report from Scob and his people that some members of her guild had fainted with purple lips and pale faces.
It seemed as if they were sleeping peacefully, but Ainsley got bad omens here.
Indeed. The stronger members only fainted before they slowly lost their lives but weaker members would all die within minutes.
Not long after Ainsley asked Scob, other bosses’ subordinates also reported to the four bosses and instantly told them the sudden death news.
“Not good! Some members have died for no reason at all!”
Ainsley and the others instantly looked at the messenger with gloomy faces.
“What’s going on? What did the doctors say?”
Lescorpio rarely talked yet now, he urged the messenger to speak faster because his people also fainted and some died from freezing!
“T-the doctors said that it’s due to freezing, but t-the temperature inside the barrier remains warm…”
The messenger also didn’t know what was going on.
So many people died or fainted, but the reason was because of the low temperature?
It’s impossible!
At the moment, the Godfather wasn’t possessing Ainsley because the baby needed a break after trying to exhaust the mammoth’s blood but to no avail.
When the Godfather saw the weird phenomenon, he immediately used his sharp senses, which were sharper than ability users and really saw something strange.
[Lil Lass. How come there are snowflakes inside the barrier?]
It was hard to see whether the snowflakes came from the blizzard outside of the barrier or not because the barrier was transparent, and people could easily misunderstand things.
But the Godfather could see things much clearer than others due to his identity as a spirit.
When he saw tiny snowflakes falling inside the barrier, he instantly became suspicious of the snowflakes.
Snowflakes inside the barrier? Isn’t that strange? Anything strange means danger!
Ainsley didn’t bother to investigate and immediately used the watchtower’s loudspeaker to remind everyone.
“Everyone, avoid touching the snowflakes! These snowflakes might be the enemy’s tricks! Repeat. Don’t touch the snowflakes!”
Not everyone on the battlefield was Ainsley’s subordinate but they had been used to listening to her warning when they worked together yesterday.
After knowing that the Godfather backed the baby, everyone believed in her command.
Since the baby also protected them, they were more than willing to listen to her.
Now that Ainsley suddenly told them to avoid the fluttering snowflakes, everyone immediately paid attention to their surroundings.
They wanted to see whether there were any snowflakes around!
Indeed. After the people paid attention to their surroundings, they saw many snowflakes falling onto the people standing at the city wall.
The amount of snowflakes was huge because there was a blizzard outside of the barrier.
Maybe the snowflakes were brought here by the wind.
Anyway, since snowflakes weren’t dangerous, would the barrier let them in casually?
But the sharp and witty people instantly realized that something was wrong.
The barrier would never let any strange materials enter the city because the amount of miasma inside the city alone was already dangerous.
If the barrier couldn’t filter things like miasma, the capital would have become a poisonous greenhouse a long time ago.
All barriers made of machines or ability users could stop things from entering but it wouldn’t stop things from exiting the wall.
Unless the barrier controller made it impossible for others to escape the barrier.
Because of this, everyone could launch various attacks on the wild beasts and monsters outside without stepping out of the barrier.
They didn’t even make a hole in the barrier. Only external impact could shatter the barrier.
So, the question is…
How could the barrier let the snowflakes pour inside?
The city wall area should have kept the temperature warm because the mammoth outside would make the environment freezing.
If the barrier let the snowflakes enter the area, wouldn’t all of them die from extreme cold sooner or later?
Thus, the members instantly felt that the snowflakes weren’t your usual snowflakes!
Everyone tried to avoid the snowflakes but then there were too many snowflakes and they were too small.
Although the biggest snowflake butterfly was the size of a baby’s thumb, the other snowflake butterflies were as small as real snowflakes.
But they could ride the strong wind and fall onto humans to continue freezing their organs.
The ability users tried to dodge the snowflakes, but once the snowflakes landed on them, they would all feel sleepy.
Then, one person would be crowded by more than one snowflake butterfly.
Even if they were elites and had a strong mentality, they couldn’t fight their sleepiness for too long.
In the end, they were still frozen inside and fainted. If they weren’t rescued in time, they would die.
When Ainsley and the other four leaders knew the truth behind the dangerous snowflakes, all of them suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
“These snowflakes can make our people faint or die in a few minutes?! What kind of snowflake is this??”
Thomas was so agitated that he wanted to rush to see his people.
His people weren’t as strong as other offensive-type ability users in the team.
They were more likely to die because of this strange snowflake compared to other ability users!
