Chapter 157: VOL 2 - 102: See you later.
"Concentrated attack on the barrier, we're breaking through."
Upon sensing the barrier, Christine couldn't help but purse her beautiful lips in anger, but she quickly issued an icy command. This prompted the young people in her group to prepare their most powerful spells and attacks, all while she raised her staff, causing a great number of runes to form around her.
Swiftly, a colossal combined attack struck the barrier head-on, generating a monumental explosion that unleashed a gigantic shockwave, shaking everything in its path. The group promptly countered it with their own barriers, and they watched as a large section of the formerly invisible barrier materialized before their eyes, revealing a wall of light composed of hexagonal "plates".
"Tsk... useless..." To everyone's surprise—and Christine's annoyance—the barrier remained intact, prompting her to click her tongue in frustration before taking something out of her storage ring.
"Hehe."
Meanwhile, a mischievous smile found its way onto Liliana's face when she noticed Christine's assault on the barrier that Liliana had surreptitiously conjured from the very start. But knowing that this bitch was cunning and had hundreds of tricks up her sleeve, Liliana didn't let her guard down. She quickly pointed her left hand upward.
"Hex bound Prison."
Following her command, the orbs hovering behind her shot upward at high speed, arranging themselves into a horizontal ring and shining brightly as they spun slowly, only to then scatter in all directions, disappearing from sight as they became invisible.
Moments after the orbs vanished completely, the barrier stopped being invisible and materialized fully, emitting a beautiful whitish glow. This made Christine's expression turn grim. She hurriedly stored her magic staff in her storage ring and replaced it with an elegant golden rapier etched with an incredible number of runes across its surface.
Holding the rapier, Christine immediately began to release mana with all her might, causing the rapier to glow intensely. Then she let it go. Instead of falling to the ground, the rapier streaked into the sky, where it began to emit a powerful golden light.
Upon seeing the rapier in the sky, Liliana swiftly pulled a lovely silver amulet from her storage ring, then quickly filled it with mana as she flew erratically to dodge the rapidly incoming attacks. She then hurled it forcefully into the sky.
