How To Die

On the other side of the world, Kar stood before the great barrier that Valeria had guided them to find. It was a sphere of strange energy that repelled them back while lying beneath the underwater island. Kar traced his fingers on the barrier, feeling its force pushing his hand back.

"I can feel the power buried behind this barrier," Kar said with a twisted smirk as blood dripped from his fingers. The blood formed small runes on the barrier as it began to erode it. However, the barrier stood strong and firm.

"You cannot dispel this barrier through normal means," Spade said with an unimpressed expression before turning to Valeria. "You know the secret to dispelling it, right?"

"As if," Valeria said with a shrug. "This barrier appeared after we left the amplifier here."

Spade stared at her for a while, as if to see if she was lying. Then, he turned to Kar and nodded at him. Kar let out a smirk as he raised his hands high, summoning a whirlpool of blood.
