Confrontation

Inside the cave prison,

Ace and the others naturally felt the tremor, the others were all shocked and fearful because they had no idea what was going on.

But Ace had, 'It seemed they took action far sooner than I expected. Now, I have to make my next move.'

Right at this moment, everyone in the cave prison heard a menacing voice in an unknown language. 

"My children, the demons have invaded our lands and wanted to kill us. We can't just stay idle and let them slaughter us. I need a few moments to prepare for the killing formation. Buy me the time!" 

Ace felt the fake soul core suddenly become restless, and the fox symbol appeared, shining in a ghostly light. 

But he merely scoffed it off since it had no effect on him and he could tell by Winter's hasten voice that she was in a hurry, so she won't have time to look at every soul brand.
