A barrier emitting a green glow was installed over the central part of the city.
The entire city center of Ellarium, which was a magnificent garden with a Magic Tree at its heart, was sealed off.
No creature could enter or exit through the gate or through the air.
All the groups of fifth-rank disciples who had left the Higher Realm dispersed and began a thorough search of the vast garden in search of the intruder who had stolen the fruits of the Tree of Magic.
The probability of detection was low, but still not zero.
Moving forward as part of a group of six people, Arabel slowed down her pace and turned to Milica, who was walking behind the group.
"Master, do you think that when the intruder is discovered, the Challenge Circle will resume? Will we get the Fruits?"
After some thought, Milica replied:
"Given what has happened, I doubt that the Challenge Circle will be resumed."
"Eh..." Arabel sighed with disappointment.
