Ragnar was the first to move.
A furious roar erupted from his throat as he tightened his grip around the enormous club and launched himself toward the cocoon. His body surged forward, and he swung the weapon with enough force to distort the surrounding space. The club came crashing down against the golden surface, releasing a violent shockwave that swept through the exposed hall.
Before the dust had even settled, a crimson sword slash tore through the air.
Lyrate had followed immediately behind him, sending a concentrated arc of sword energy toward the same spot. The attack struck the cocoon, followed by a massive trident formed from Aurora's lightning, which descended from above and exploded against its surface in a blinding flash.
The three attacks merged into a tremendous burst of energy, swallowing the cocoon and the surrounding formation in a storm of light and dust.
Yet when the dust finally cleared, the golden cocoon remained exactly as it had been.
