Bernard smiled flatly while tapping Allen's shoulders, "They lose their EXP."

Allen was confused for a moment, "And then what happens?"

"What happens to the Hunters who tries to cross the higher worlds?" Bernard asked. "If they forced their way through the portal, what happens to them?"

"T-They die," Gwen said in shock. She couldn't help but cover her lips with her mouth, her eyes widened at the news. "T-They die. That's what happens."

"But the Soul Burners said they wouldn't kill anyone," Allen muttered. "Did they lie to me?"

"Yes, and no," Bernard said. "They lied to you about not killing anyone yet, indeed, but again, they didn't kill anyone yet. When the EXP loses their hosts, the Hunter would be stuck in a frozen mental state. They aren't able to communicate or be communicated. They just stay there, lifeless and pale."

"That's what happened to the man," Allen said. "I saw his eyes. There wasn't any sign of life in them."
