"Fuck! I am not joking! Just look! There are cracks on the seal! If I am joking, I will give you guys my paycheck for the next decade!" The guard shouted angrily.
Hearing this, the other guards finally turned toward the entrance to the Demonic Realm—a pair of enormous gates bound by nine golden chains and surrounded by a semi-transparent barrier.
At first glance, the barrier itself appeared perfectly intact. However, the moment they inspected the golden chains more closely, their expressions changed.
One of the chains had developed visible cracks, despite having remained flawless for millions of years.
"I-It's true! There are cracks on one of the seals!" The guards immediately began to panic.
There were ten guards stationed at the entrance, yet not a single one of them was a Demon Sealer. Instead, they had been jointly hired by the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto, as neither side trusted the other to safeguard the entrance properly on their own.
