Shinji's gaze sharpened at once, and his face beneath the mask revealed an expression of utter astonishment.
Just like the sealing formula of the Four Symbols Seal, the chains of the Adamantine Sealing Chains were squeezed and tugged after piercing through the thin barrier.
Unlike the ink-black sealing formula, which dissipated after only a few breaths, the chains of the Adamantine Sealing Chains were constantly pulled and worn down, producing a grating creak that made one's teeth ache. Yet, astonishingly, they remained firm and were not torn apart by the thin barrier!
"My lord!"
Karin cried out excitedly as well.
Shinji cautiously approached the thin barrier and observed it for a moment longer. He discovered that Karin's Adamantine Sealing Chains had indeed withstood the sealing trap within the illusion passage.
An idea struck him. As Shinji formed hand seals and activated the Shadow Clone Technique, creating two shadow clones, he instructed Karin, "Try gathering the chains into a ring and create an opening in the thin barrier!"
Karin immediately followed his orders, slowly drawing the eight golden chains of the Adamantine Sealing Chains together until they formed a circle.
There were only eight chains, so even after gathering them into a ring, there were still large gaps between them.
But sealing techniques were different from other techniques. The chains themselves were the greatest interference to the thin barrier. Thus, although the circular opening formed by the interlinked chains contained many gaps, and the thin barrier could easily seep through them into the opening, its power would inevitably be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Shinji formed hand seals and activated the Four Symbols Seal once more, using ink-black sealing formulas to fill the gaps between the chains one by one.
The sealing formula, which could originally last only a few breaths within the
