"————!"
At the instant Shane made his move, the Demon Warriors guarding Danass all reacted without hesitation, swiftly positioning themselves in front of Danass.
"Buzz!"
With a tremor of Magic Power, an inky Defense Barrier materialized in front of the Demon Warriors, shielding both them and Danass.
"Boom!"
Blazing flames, like a storm of fire, battered against the Defense Barrier, which initially rumbled like waves crashing onto scorched rock but was eventually blocked.
Waves of fire swelled around the Defense Barrier, scorching the Temple's floor.
"What...!?"
The sudden change took both Oz and Mafi by surprise.
Shane, however, looked on with a mocking smile, waiting until the flames dissipated and Danass and his retinue appeared from behind the Defense Barrier.
"...What does this mean, Lord Bezut?"
Danass asked without a change in expression, not the least bit flustered by the recent onslaught.
