In theory, Yogev's idea felt like it was going to be successful in real life however when they started doing it, he realized that the mages weren't that strong, after all that spell was made by the higher-ups, it was impossible for them to be anywhere near their levels of powers.
And then being left out here is the reason what got him to think that way .
The mages were lined up around the huge castle making a chain of people trying to maintain the equilibration of their divine energy .
To him, there was no other way to prove to his people that he was ready to help them then, and that is why this was his main focus all the time.
This new method was very promising in theory because the majority saw that it made sense and it was more realistic, however, their powers were very low from the beginning which delayed any results.
Camping next to the castle was a good idea in terms of protection, but they were not comfortable with living there, especially with the rain and the heat .
As the leader of that place, many girls tried to approach him from district 4 and 5, but Yogev rejected them kindly, he knew that in times like these women tend to lean on a together guy, and that is why he knew that their interest toward him was not genuine .
He wanted to protect all of them and nothing more .
"Sir, sir, we have a problem" One of his mages came to him with a terrified look on his, he was sweating and exhaling heavily and Yogev knew immediately that there was something with him.
" Calm down and tell me what happened?"
" The mages who started to absorb the divine energy around the palace fell on the ground, we don't know what happened to them"
" How many of them? "
" 20 of them, we still don't know if there were more who already started doing that"
Yogev walked with the mage toward the palace with his heart racing inside of his chest, it was his idea, since the day Heigl told him about this on the first day they spoke, he tried to benefit from it, and the fact that it ended up was very confusing.
A few minutes later Yogev reached the place where they lined up all the mages who fell after absorbing the divine energy.
" What happened here ? " He shouted .
The scene looked horrifying. They were all laying down motionless, they all appeared to be dead but he was too afraid to think about that possibility.
" I think they are dead, '' One of the mages said with a sad look on his face, they were not all from the same district, they were from all of the districts which made the impact very strong upon all of them .
The rain kept falling but the weather was so hot to the point where they were all sweating heavily.
" Let me take a look, healers! call the healers !"
When his people saw that the mages were motionless they all assumed that they were dead, and they didn't bother to call for a healer until he mentioned that . Discover more novels at NovєlFіre.net
Yogev walked toward the mages and started to check their pulse and their divine energy state too, he did it one by one to all of them, he didn't need healers to realize that they were already dead .
However, the cause of their deaths was just mysterious, he linked the fact that they died after absorbing the energy, but he couldn't just prove it to himself let alone with others.
Yogev was stunned by what he saw, those mages were not in the same state as before, they looked much older, their skin was full of wrinkles, and their hair was silver, they looked like they had lived all the time they could.
" Someone explain to me what happened here !"
" We tried to break the spell like you wanted us to do, but we didn't, even when we tried several times with our divine energy because our energy combined was very low, we all know that yet we kept doing the same things even when you told us not to "
" Yeah, I know that you are weak in terms of power, that is why I told you to absorb some of that energy to break the spell, I knew since the beginning that you didn't have the amount of power required to break the spell"
"We eventually did what you told us and we ended up having the 20 of them dead, they started before us, it took just seconds for them to fall on the ground and die, did you see their bodies, sir ? It felt like a lifetime passed in just seconds"
Yogev covered his mouth with his palm, he was more confused than everyone there, because he didn't witness what they saw and therefore he was not able to believe what they just said, his mind except that possibility .
Yogev stayed like that for a long time after that, his people were not raging unexpectedly because it was the first time for all of them to see something like that.
A few minutes later, he kneeled on the ground and put his palm there, and started to sense the divine energy around the place. It was huge indeed, however only now does he discover that this divine energy doesn't feel the same as Delwias divine energy.
it felt more condensed but his knowledge was not enough for him to collect more information .
After that, he stood then looked at his people with cold features and said:" I can't say that I am sure about what happened here, it feels like they had a natural death, however, we all knew that this was not the case, they were young and grew up in seconds, my mind has no logical explanation, in the meantime just stop your attempts to break the spell until I find another way"
" Are you trying to experiment on us? Are you sacrificing our lives for you to survive? " One of the mages said , very upset .
" I will find another way to protect all of you "
