Swoosh!
Astaroth was able to erect a thick wall of metal and earth before him, to take the full brunt of the earlier explosion. Thanks to its powerful toughness and great defensive capabilities, they were able to withstand the initial impact.
But the residual energies were something that they could not underestimate either, so Shin and Cloe had to respond to the situation.
Shin protected Cloe behind him as he summoned a barrier by using the 'Eclipse Pulse' skill along with the amplification of his 'Demonic Telekinesis'. The latter, on the other hand, gave him some buffs while also creating another barrier to coat Shin's barrier with her holy powers, further strengthening it.
They could see tongues of purple flame sticking out the edges of the wall protecting them, which were somewhat dissipating in the air after turning into bluish-white embers.
