The beastmen of Milt's faction yelled out a frantic warning. They were utterly shocked that the Lord of the Barbarian City was this powerful—even being at the absolute epicenter of the array hadn't managed to pin her down.

Nina lunged forward immediately, seizing the opening to snatch the sacred artifact. Odian had already clued her in: the artifact served as the array's core. Remove it, and the entire formation would collapse.
Milt's face twisted in disbelief as he spun around to block her. "You actually broke through the array's suppression?" The raw power at the epicenter was immense, yet it hadn't slowed her down in the slightest. He realized he had to be incredibly careful.
"I only played along with your little act for this long to strip away your mask in front of everyone," Nina replied coolly.
