Anyone who reached near the Ashen Crucible died. That's what everyone had heard and that's what everyone had believed.
After all, only a few returned from that place and this was when they hadn't even reached near the Crucible. They had felt that if they took one more step, they would die.
Because of this, no one was able to enter inside the Crucible. Whoever tried to force themselves inside, were met with nothing but death.
When the soldiers had heard the war would take place in this place, they all believed that the war wouldn't happen because no one would be able to enter anyway.
The soldiers knew about it but when they saw Pablo standing inside the Crucible with no problem and still alive, all of them went nuts.
Murmurs spread around the whole army and even Harlia was at shock for a moment.
Seeing Pablo standing inside the Crucible, they all reached two conclusions.
Either the Ashen Crucible stopped killing people or Pablo Castillo was a man of a different breed.
