Jet studied the wall of subtly rippling air in front of them and the pristine streets beyond it, then rested her scythe on her shoulders in a relaxed pose.
"Well, that explains why nothing has attacked us yet."
She approached the barrier created by the Serpent King, stopping only a few centimeters away from it, then took a few steps along its nearly invisible surface.
"Seems like he was really wary of what hides inside this city, huh?"
Sunny shrugged.
"I guess."
Jet remained silent for a few moments, then asked in a calm tone:
"More importantly, if this barrier prevents things from escaping the Eternal City… wouldn't we get trapped if we pass through it, as well?"
That was what Sunny was thinking about, too.
He frowned.
"Nightwalker escaped it before, so there must be a way. Or maybe a condition sorting those who can leave, and those who can't."
He sighed and shook his head.
