Nox stopped right outside the massive barrier, joining the group of warriors that were standing outside. Though the barrier was not visible to those with no magic, there was an invisible wall that prevented people from coming in and out of the village. They could only see a normal-looking village in which the people were walking around happily with a smile on their faces. How ironic.
The witches had made it in such a way so that the passers-by around the village's vicinity would not be suspicious of this location, oblivious to what was actually happening. Though I couldn't see what was inside the barrier, it was obvious that the people were not smiling happily as shown.
