Sabbath the Traveler

"You can do it, Kiernan!"

"Lift it, the young hero of Irio!"

The crowd shouted.

A few among them pulled out their phones and started recording the lifting attempt.

'I knew that Kiernan was famous around these parts, but this still feels strange.'

Julian thought with a wry smile.

"Whoo…"

With a deep breath, Kiernan wrapped his hands around the chains, then put all the pressure on his struggling muscles and slowly began to attempt to lift up the pillar.

As if made out of air, the pillar easily lifted up from the ground. It seemed so light that Kiernan was easily able to carry it in his arms.

'Ah? Why is this so easy?'

Voices of excitement slowly died off. It turned silent.

The crowd was utterly stunlocked. They didn't really believe that he would be able to lift up the pillar. But this looked so easy for him!

'Huh?'
