Hearing Kane's command, all the mages followed suit, deploying shields of different elemental shades.
Abaddon, seeing this, grew even more furious. "You! What have you done—"
His words were cut off as an eruption occurred deep within his body.
A blue crystal that had been within him now turned red.
It wasn't due to the demon's blood but because the compression of air in it had generated immense heat.
Abaddon, sensing this, pushed his upper right arm into his chest, as if trying to remove the pearl-like object, but it was already too late.
As cracks formed in the red pearl, an explosion equivalent to a small-yield nuclear bomb erupted.
The force shook the entire valley, even the colossal fortress shock like a small leaf against it power.
The heat from the explosion pushing the mages' defence magic to its limits.
One by one, the defensive barriers created by the mages began to crack and shatter.
