Alice watched him. Was he trying to play word games with her?
Well, if he could keep to his words and make them suffer then it was okay with her. There was nothing else to be done, but she would prefer if they were thrown into a gate unarmed and torn to shreds by vicious monsters.
"And that's not all," he added, reaching his hand out to take hers in his. "Because I have caused you to suffer with my negligence, I would like to spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins by serving you however you wish. So, do whatever you want with me."
Alice looked at him, her eyes squinting in disdain.
"In that case," she took her hand out of his grip and slapped him, but her slap did not go through for some reason.
There was something like a transparent yellow barrier stopping her hand just a few inches from his skin. It had these hexagon shapes all around and it only covered his face.
It must've been activated after her attack came in.
