Chapter 3 - Magi-Barrier

While Kael and Willy walked around the western area of the prison, Kael locked his eyes on a particular barrier infused with magical force...

The magical force field, representing a unique shape of a white angel.

"It's a glowing beautiful but the main purpose of that is to prevent us prisoners walk through that barrier." said Willy.

"This is the western part, and beyond this Magi-Barrier lies the guard tower which enables these barriers. I heard the prison incharge also resides in that tower. Only guards can pass through this glowing light." said Willy.

"Actually why don't you try going through it? You will realise that the magical force field repels you and will even give extreme electric shock." said Willy.

"Furthermore, prisoners with mage skills may never be able to pass through as well as the prison blocks the magical flow here. Probably because of the tower. I am also a mage and a helpless poor one who is struggling himself. Anyways give it a try?" asked Willy, standing on guard so no one notice.

"By the way, the entrance or exit or access to some areas prevents us to pass through as these same Magi-Barriers are activated in those areas too." said Willy.

Kael observed the shape of the magical force field which represents a beautiful design of an angel. He remembers that he had seen that kind of design before.

Kael easily pass through the Magi-Barrier with no repulsion or shocks at all.

Kael came back safely with no problem at all.

With what Willy just witnessed, his jaw lowered and his face as if snake bit him.

"H-How is that possible!? What kind of black magic you did now!? That is not possible! Try again!" exclaimed Willy.

Kael did it again with no problem.

"How but how!? Hm? wait why does that bracelet you are wearing glows everytime you pass through? And it has same carving like those guard's bracelts...." said Willy.

Kael looked at his bracelet and realised that this was the bracelet Caelum handed over to him. It was probably for this reason Caelum may had predicted.

"I don't know how you got your hands on it but it all makes sense now, I thought something is fishy with those bracelets. I thought that those bracelets were just symbolic designs but they also function like this huh?" said Willy.

"Hey, don't tell anyone but I have orchestrated a plan to save all prisoners and expose The Saints. You will have to help me with this as I gather my other companions to help out." said Willy.

Kael agreed to help Willy.

"For now, we need to act normal and follow orders. I will tell you everything in more details once we are done with our work. Alright let's get to work." said Willy, shaking hands with Kael to work together to bring down The Saints.

----

After working for a day, Kael returns to his cell with Willy. From the next cell, Willy calls out to Kael.

"Hey, I hope you rest well as you might have got tired due to all those ridiculous work. And also, I have planned something for tomorrow." said Willy as Kael listens carefully.

"Me and my mates will attack the guards. We have noticed that guards here aren't so many. The real reason we never got a chance to escape was due to the magical force field- Magi-Barrier." said Willy.

With a little pause, he began to explain more.

"But with you here, we have a chance now. Also, we got valuable information that those bracelets are the key to pass through those barriers. It's all thanks to you we figured this. However..." said Willy, stopping mid sentence.

"However you see, these guards are a pain in the ass. Remember how I told you about the guard tower? They might send in more guards as reinforcements from the basement level. So I may need your help to pass through the barrier and lock the door from outside." said Willy.

"Then after this, you should head upstairs to dismantle the devices which controls these barriers. Of course we can get those bracelets from guards but it might not be the best option." continued Willy.

Kael understood what Willy wanted to say. The guards here might try to chase Kael if he doesn't get rid of the guards and soon reinforcements would also come if they resist for too long. And the guards looked tough as well.

"I am sure you realise what I am saying. We can't directly let them chase you but I will try to get one of the bracelets if possible and join you later. You see, it won't be easy because you will need my help. I will tell you later why." said Willy.

"Anyways, our primary goal will be to dismantle all barriers while my friends try to resist. Make sure you tightly lock the door for basement so troops won't come out otherwise we will be done for." said Willy.

With that plan, Kael took a rest in order to regain his strength back by tomorrow.

----

The next morning came in and the guards wake up Kael.

Kael and Willy went out. They witnessed another horrible sight, the guards decided to pull a prisoner. She is being taken to gallows.

"Shit...Its....Noel...no...I can't let this!" Exclaimed Willy, clenching his fist.

Kael sensed that Willy might know that girl and followed Willy to gallow.

Guards pushed Noel to go up to the gallow.

"Go on! Or you will have even much more painful death than that. We are only showing mercy to a girl like you! Besides it's only right you die as you are clearly not useful to work for us. You will face judgement as defying our orders!" exclaimed Guard.

Willy kicked the guard from behind and smacked his head with elbow strike, knocking the guard unconscious.

The other guard witnessed this "Hey! What do you think you are doing! You have a death wish or what!?" Exclaimed Guard in anger.

"Everyone listen, you know it's time to put an end to this. We may not be able to get those bracelets but our primary goal is to dismantle the devices to escape and expose this organization! We need to buy enough time for Kael as we discussed!" exclaimed Willy.

Noel is watching this all.

Kael is observing the guards, who are making their way toward them.
