The battle has began.
I raised my hands and channeled my mana as I began weaving a barrier spell.
Threads of magic symbols spiraled around me. A massive, shimmering dome of golden energy erupted from the ground, encasing the entire citadel in an impenetrable shield.
This barrier was a perfect replica of the one I had analyzed from Luminis city.
Unlike the flawed barrier of Luminis, this one was stronger—no weak points, no fractures.
Even dragonfire couldn't breach it.
Krell staggered back, his eyes widening as the barrier solidified, its surface humming like an electric current.
The demons that had already breached the gates slammed into the barrier wall. Their claws and weapons bounced uselessly off its surface.
"What is this?!" Krell gasped, gripping the edge of the tower. "You built that? In seconds?"
I offered a faint smile. "I've been working on it for a while. Just needed a reason to use it."
