The Warden's fist came down not with a simple smash, but with the terrifying finality of a system executing a delete command.
-Zaaaaaaaa...!
It was a shockwave of pure, visible force— a ripple of distorted, red-tinged air that blasted towards us instantaneously, tearing up the stone floor in its wake.
"Miss Aria...! I...! I can't!" Cass shrieked, horror covering his face, but his body moved on pure survival instinct.
He slammed his staff down, a desperate, raw scream tearing from his throat. "Barrier!"
-Ooooooooooong!
A dome of vibrant blue energy, fragile as glass, flared to life around us. And a shockwave was generated from it hitting ithead-on.
-Bam!
The sound was unbearable...
-Shreeeeee!
A high-pitched screech of magic being shredded, the groan of a spell pushed miles past its breaking point, and the breaking threads of the spell were visible right before my eyes.
"Cass...!"
