Protective spell on Magic Core

D class dungeon, Border Town.

Lith was standing above the crater where Liam's body had recently disintegrated. He was trying his hardest to figure out if he had gotten any special abilities from Liam, but even after a few minutes, he couldn't feel anything.

Hecate looked at Lith, trying to figure something out. She roughly had a guess as to what he was doing. But she kept quiet and didn't interrupt him and let him do his things.

A few more minutes passed and seeing how Lith still was trying his best to look for unique abilities, Hecate cleared her throat to grab Lith's attention and explained,

"Ahem. He wasn't killed. There was an Emperor rank protective spell surrounding the magic core and when his highness attacked him at that area, it got activated and caused him to resurrect in the next instant at wherever the phylactery was placed."

"Huh?" Lith said, not being able to believe what Hecate had just said.
