The clash erupted the instant the massive monsters surged forward.
Their roars thundered through the corridor, shaking stone and bone, but what followed struck the fighters deeper than sound alone.
Dense Magic flared from their bodies, erupting in violent arcs and compressed blasts that ripped through the air. Dark energy slammed outward, cracking the floor and tearing chunks from the walls as several attacks detonated directly against the formation.
Shock rippled through the fighters.
They had expected brute force, not coordinated Magic of this magnitude!
Sylmira reacted first. She forced space to bend again while Adrius layered barrier upon barrier and Saeldir reinforced his seals.
The defenses held but only barely. The monsters slowed, yet still faster than the waves before. The heavier and more suffocating pressure pressed inward at them.
Aurdis felt her breath catch for a heartbeat.
