For several agonizing seconds, no one dared to breathe.
The silver barrier surrounding Everdawn City trembled violently.
Cracks of light spread across its surface as the enormous fireball continued to pour its destructive power against the magical shield.
The mages, including Chuck, poured all their magical powers into reinforcing the barrier, hoping their best would be enough to withstand the devastating attack and prevent the cracks from spreading further.
A moment later, a massive shockwave swept across the surroundings, shaking the earth while also sending dust and debris flying into the sky.
Several soldiers instinctively covered their faces at that moment.
While others fell to their knees.
But when the flames gradually disappeared...
The barrier was still there.
The cracks on its surface shimmered for a few seconds before the barrier began to gradually repair itself.
