Everyone was stunned. Beelzebub was even more stunned as even though he had hoped for a better outcome to fall on Dalton's wish; being rational, it was impossible for them to find Ernest whose soul had been torn to pieces in the abyss.
It was a miracle at least to Dalton who rushed into the black water which Beelzebub immediately stopped him by holding to the back of his collar before he would step into the water.
"Once you step there, your soul would be gone for good," Beelzebub warned him and Dalton gasped as his feet was close to sinking over the deep black water.
"T- thank you," the horrified Dalton imagined how he would die if his feet had stepped into the water sincerely expressed his gratitude. "Brother?" He then called over the sea again, "Ernest? You heard his voice, didn't you?" He asked to Esther who stood near there.
She nodded her head. It was possible for a single person to misheard but not ever four of them.
