Hidden mission

"What do you think you're doing?!"

Everyone shouted this at the same time before suddenly releasing their spiritual energy to suppress me.

It seemed like they completely lost control of themselves when they saw me crushing this Refining Stone like it was a random stone on the side of the road. It seemed like they couldn't hold themselves back after seeing the prodigal way that I acted.

However, I wasn't affected at all even though they all released their spiritual energy to suppress me.

That was because there was a golden glow that appeared around me like a shield.

This golden glow completely nullified the pressure that would have fallen on me, so I was able to stand there without a problem. This golden glow seemed to have completely isolated me from the outside world, making it so that I wasn't able to sense anything.

As for where it came from…

"The defense system has been activated."
