Aengus attempted to use his mastery of space law to teleport underground, but he quickly realized that powerful wards and divine protections shielded the area, blocking his abilities.
He noticed an entrance to the underground chamber guarded by three S-Rank sentinels.
"Halt!" the guards barked sharply, raising their weapons to stop Aengus in his tracks.
"Sir Paladin, where are you going? You're not authorized to enter this area," one of the guards warned sternly.
Aengus's sharp eyes examined the door radiating a white divine glow, a clear indication that the area was heavily fortified against any intrusion.
"I know the rules," Aengus said smoothly. "I came here seeking an audience with the Saintess. Is she down there?"
The guards exchanged wary glances before responding.
"No, Sir Ashenvale. The Saintess is not here. Please return to your post," one of them said firmly.
