Soon, the first sounds of war blared loudly. From outside the plains of Niera city, the mana bomb ballistas and siege engines roared to life as mages began channeling with all of their minds. Ropes of glowing mana fed into the machines and they were primed and ready to take action.
The first volley flew. Enormous power packed mana cannon balls streaked like comets and slammed right into the city. However, before they could do any actual damage, a powerful blood shield rippled all around the city.
The thick red dome swallowed the incoming power-packed mana attacks like they were nothing. When the first shot hit the barrier, it exploded in a bloom of sparks and blood mist. The blast shook the ground, but the wall held. The mana bombs fizzled out against the crimson surface, clearly unable to do anything to it.
