Before the whip could strike, Aron caught Shiqi's wrist and pulled her close as a pale light flared around them immediately, wrapping them in a shield and hiding their figures from the others giving the idea that they had teleported.
However, before they could really escape, the light was suddenly trapped.
A golden net fell from above and closed around them, sealing them inside. The threads of the net glowed with divine power, pressing in from every side. So, even though Aron and Shiqi remained hidden, the light over them remained visible under the net.
Aron tried to force his way through it, sending dark energy against the barrier again and again, but the net did not even tremble, let alone tear.
No matter how hard he struggled, it would not break. "Aron," Shiqi called out in a broken voice, however, his entire being was only focused on one thing, escaping here. He needed to find a way back and return to the Redwood clan and recharge himself for battle.
