Chapter 994 – End The Debt
The first elf's face tightened.
Then the shrine roared.
The final defense awakened.
A defense mechanism buried beneath the Root-Oath Preservation Seal, hidden behind the very condition of release.
If the debtor was freed without permission…
Kill the thief.
Kill the debtor.
End the debt by ending the vessel.
The entire shrine convulsed.
Roots exploded from the floor, the ceiling, the walls, the tree itself. Vines thick as serpents snapped awake. The water channels turned white and violent. The air became pressure, sovereign-level and merciless.
Lux's eyes widened.

"Of course," Lux hissed.
Ely rushed forward, both hands glowing. "Barrier!"
Lux reacted at the same time.
[Infernal Barrier Activated]
Demonic force bloomed around him and the first elf.
