SPELLBOUND Chapter 325 - Barrier (Part II)

Chapter 325 - Barrier (Part II)

Meanwhile, on the ground.

While everyone was looking up at the direction where the princess disappeared to and some light faes even followed after her, Zolan curiously approached the barrier. It appeared invisible but when the princess tried to cross it a while ago and used some magic to break it, the barrier shimmered and became visible for a little while. It was a dark shimmery wall-like barrier that looked like a pillar of smoke had combined with piles of black dust.

When they entered this gate hours ago, Leon had told him that there seemed to be something off with the gate. Samuel also agreed with Leon's observation. However, just as they hesitated to enter, Reed suddenly spoke and ordered them to just go ahead and enter.

At that moment, all of them knew that Reed was under someone else's control – to specifically point it out, under the prince's control. And that indicated to them that he was obviously watching them. When they finally crossed the gate, Reed suddenly coughed and blinked his eyes, looking confused.

Now Zolan understood why the prince's controlling magic immediately left Reed's body as soon as they crossed the gate..

Reaching out, Zolan gingerly let his palm touch the barrier and to his surprise, unlike Princess Evie who was blocked in, his hand actually managed to pa.s.s through.

His eyes widened in shock at his findings. A light fae standing near the vampires noticed what Zolan had done earlier, and she approached him. Her expression was that of surprise as well as she looked at Zolan's hand which was now jutting out of the barrier. Zolan himself was still holding out his hand and staring at it curiously, as though searching for some answers.

"Is the barrier broken?" her beautiful voice broke his reverie and caused Zolan to look at the source of that voice.

"I'm not sure actually…." Zolan replied after identifying who the speaker was. "If you don't mind, could you try doing the same as what I am doing right now?" He asked her politely and the lady with a long loose and braided hair reached out her hand towards the barrier.

To their surprise, the barrier reacted differently with the light fae just as it did with Evie. She was not able to push her hand across the barrier either.

Narrowing his eyes, Zolan called for Elias who was the nearest to him. Again, after asking Elias to try out his theory, his hand went through the barrier without any problems.

The female light fae ran off for a while and came back dragging with her, a male light fae towards where Zolan was. She then asked him to do what the vampires were doing but just like what had happened to her, the barrier hardened and prevented any crossing the moment the light fae touched it as if it had turned into a dark wall.

"So does this mean that, only us vampires are permitted and able to leave this barrier?" Zolan thought out loud and the other vampires approached. They all tried and same thing happened to them as well. The barrier seemed to melt at their touches but will harden and turn into a hard wall at the touch of the light faes.

"Seems like it." Samuel agreed. "So far, it is only restricting the movements of the light faes."

"I will try –" Luc enthusiastically offered to try it out too.

"Wait!" Zolan failed to stop Luc in time as Luc was already disappearing into the barrier when Zolan told him to wait.

And then, Luc was gone. The light faes were surprised and they too tried to cross again but it was futile.

The vampires waited for Luc to return but the man did not come back even after they waited for a few minutes.

"What's going on? Why is Luc not returning?" Elias asked. He was feeling that something seemed off as he looked apprehensively at Zolan. There would be no way that Luc just run off on his own. That was not how he operates.

"I think this barrier might be something that couldn't be crossed more than once." Zolan said, thinking aloud. "So, most likely the case is that once you leave, you can never return again as long as the barrier is in place."

At that moment, Silver landed on the ground.

Zolan and everyone focused their attention on Evie as she dismounted from her dragon. 'Oh, she's angry…' the vampires told each other through their secret telepathy.

'Very angry.' As Zolan added on, the men could feel their skin tingling a little from apprehension of the princess' anger.

'She's mad at the prince.'

'For sure. I've never seen her this angry before. I'm actually a little scared!' the drama king then hugged himself.

'Me too.' Reed agreed. 'I never thought the princess could be this angry until now.'

'Man. I'm actually worried about that prince of ours now once she manages to get out of here. But then again, I'm not actually that worried… I think I would say 'serves him right' if the princess catches and beats him into a pulp.' Levy snickered through his telepathy to the other men, and then his shoulders trembled as he imagined the princess beating up that cold and arrogant prince. 'Serves him right for forgetting about us. Pfft.'

'Quit it with your imagination, Levy.'

'It's not an imagination, sweetheart.' Levy smugly winked at Leon.

'Call me that again and you'll regret it.' Leon growled with distaste at Levy.

'Haha. I said it's not an imagination. It's called prediction. Want to make a bet with me?" Levy egged Leon on.

'Bet on what?'

'That a big fight will break out once the couple meets and that princess Evie will beat our prince. And if I win, you will stop getting in the way between me and my darling Zanya.' Levy laid out his terms as he gave Leon a self-satisfied smirk.

Leon's face was deadpan. 'No one's getting in your way, you idiot. And I'm not interested in making a bet with you.'

'Urgh! This boring little… you're always getting in the way, admit it!' Levy groaned and grumbled at him. But Leon had already turned around and faced his back towards him. This just made Levy even more frustrated and determined to get at Leon.
