Evelyn was barely holding the massive golden barrier that stretched around the Avaloria Empire. Every clash between Alex and Kyle above sent waves of pressure crashing against it like divine storms.
The barrier trembled violently, golden cracks spreading across its surface each time their powers collided.
Her arms shook as she forced more divine energy into the barrier. Her breathing was labored, sweat rolling down her face. 'If I let go, the shockwaves alone will erase half the Empire. I can't… I can't let it fall.'
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, breaking through the chaos. "Big sis! What the hell is happening?!"
Evelyn turned her head sharply.
Running toward her through the dust and broken earth was Ethan, his aura blazing with golden light. Behind him were King Edward evans avaloria, Duke Reynard, Marquis Starlight, and Marquis Augustus—each surrounded by their elite knights and soldiers.
