With her beasts by her side, Michelle stood in front of the invisible barrier between the Land of Exile and the lower realm, on the Land of Exile's side. She couldn't see the barrier, but she could feel the force blocking her from taking another step forward. "Nyx, Cold Flame, how do I get to the other side?" she asked with a slight frown. She knew that since she had already reached the threshold of the Spirit rank, she should be able to walk through the barrier, but it seems she needed to do something special if she wanted to pass. And she didn't know what that was.

Cold Flame stared at the barrier, and with a simple flap of his wings, he flew to the other side of it. Seeing that, Michelle frowned and tried to push her hand through, but she felt her palm press against a solid wall. Something was keeping her out. "What is the meaning of this?" she asked with narrowed eyes.

"Michelle, you're being hated!" Snow sneered as she walked through the barrier effortlessly.
