A tall dome enveloped the area in the vicinity of the warehouse, sealing off the area and repelling mundane humans from the area.
On the downside, it also prevented Jeff and Aisha, as well as the reinforcements they'd brought, from rushing to Norvax and Alissa's aid.
Jeff stared at the ethereal dome with ill-concealed disgust, pursing his lips into a thin line.
Beside him, Aisha stood in a knee-length black long coat, expressionlessly staring into the dome.
The older woman stretched out a hand, placing it squarely against the dome. A violent surge of energy rippled across the dome from the point of contact.
Jeff turned to her, his mouth slightly opening in a comical expression of shock.
"Aisha, that's an unidentified artifact barrier; you'll get hurt," he said in a low voice.
" Jefferson, this much can't hurt me. Have the artifact specialists arrived?"
