KRRANG!
Everyone impulsively covered their ears from that unpleasant ringing sound. But Kriff couldn't. Not only were his hands full, but he was too fixated on his shield, well, what was left of his shield.
Bil landed another blow on the exact same spot as before. However, the blow didn't leave another indent or make the previous one deeper. The cloth-wrapped walking stick instead broke through the steel and nearly split it in two.
Yet, again, Kriff felt no excess force pushing him back in contrast to receiving the heavy blow.
"... Had enough fun yet?" Bil chuckled and threw the walking stick over his shoulder again, holding it with both hands behind his neck.
Kriff was too shocked to speak. Not only had his shield been broken to the point of no repair, but the damage had been dealt in a way that Kriff couldn't understand. Both Nelphy and Jash were speechless as well. Jash in particular was stuck with a dumb expression plastered on his face.
