Secret Mission

As the barrier vanished, King Dominick III felt the Arcane Sigil in his arm burn!

"Aaahhh!"

He screamed in agony as his link with the barrier broke! Moreover, it drained most of his Arcane Energy as his former healthy body began to age!

At this time, he was finally showing what his age really looked like!

"Impossible! The barrier was indestructible!" The king cried out in despair. Since he was aware of the secrets of the barrier, he knew that it should not be possible to destroy it as it would keep regenerating and even use the life force of all common citizens of the Capital if needed.

Indeed! The barrier would take everyone's life as long as they weren't practicing any Arcane Arts!

The Capital had millions of ordinary, and they shouldn't have a problem empowering it! He believed that just taking the life force of about 100 thousand people would be enough to defend against Dragon's self-destruction!
