"Can't you come in?"
"Interesting." Ethan narrowed his eyes, immediately sensing something amiss.
The Twelve Golden Eyes Dragon Leviathan Fish hovered outside the invisible boundary, its massive body coiled. No matter how it struggled, it could not cross that final step.
Yet Ethan had passed through effortlessly.
That alone was enough to raise alarms.
So it ignores me… but rejects it completely?
"Is it a barrier that only allows humans to pass?" Ethan mused inwardly, his gaze sharpening.
If that was the case, then this ruin was no ordinary relic. Any place that deliberately excluded high-grade demonic beasts was almost certainly concealing something far more valuable than common treasures.
Golden light surged across the Dragon Leviathan Fish's scales. Ancient inscriptions flickered into existence, flowing along its enormous body like living runes. A suppressive force descended from the air itself, locking onto the beast and pinning it firmly outside the spatial barrier.
