Bab 842: Training Progression

"This is a problem." He sighed.

"What is it? Can't you break the barrier?" Fierna asked with a worried face, approaching Cain. "I will leave if I'm holding you back."

Cain shook his head, "That isn't the problem." He lifted his hand inspecting a sample of the barrier. "As I expected, it's bad."

"What is it?"

"This barrier would dissolve Tiamat's body if anyone were to break her out. It isn't made to protect her, but to make sure no one gets hold of her." He looked back at Fierna. "Asmodeus put Tiamat here the same way we bury dead people. For her to rest in peace for all eternity. The only peaceful end she can get now that she can't fully die."

"Won't dissolving her kill her fully?" Fierna asked.
