162 Raining On A Parade

    ''----''

    ''Several moments before the fateful event

    ''

    ''Outside of the Dark Ruin Labyrinth

    there was a change in the countenance of Irauk. He continued with his earlier actions. However

    the more he did so

    the more he felt an aura that unsettled him. At first

    he thought it was possible an intruder was involved

    but that was promptly dismissed.''

    ''The spatial barrier surrounding the area prohibited even singular Grand Master level experts from penetrating it with ease. If they wished to do so

    it required both time and the ability to avoid the senses of everyone present. As for preemptive measures

    only during the selection trial was this space accessible.''

    ''In other words

    the Supreme Families were not the people who set up the barrier in the first place. Therefore

    Irauk''s mind fell to other things. First

    the deeper his senses burrowed

    the clearer the sensation of the aura became. It was familiar—it was Apollo. But

    that wasn''t entirely true.''
