Irina looked at the force field.
She could not see it, not even a faint shimmer in the air, yet she could feel its presence clearly. It stood between her and Eldric like an invisible wall, separating them by only a few meters while preventing her from reaching the man responsible for Liam's current condition. The barrier gave off no visible light, produced no sound, and appeared to have no physical form, but when Irina extended her hand, her palm met an unyielding resistance.
She pressed against it gently at first, testing its strength. Then she increased the pressure, feeling the energy beneath her palm resist her efforts without giving way even slightly. Her eyes narrowed as she examined the empty space before her, and after a few seconds, the corners of her lips gradually curled upward.
A smile appeared on her face.
