Galtar's grip tightened around the hilt of his magic sword, ready to unleash its power upon Lirien.
Soon, he summoned a swirling torrent of water.
The knights gasped in awe as the spiraling water enveloped Galtar, reinforcing his stand.
"Behold the power of a Holy Knight!" Galtar declared, his voice infused with both pride and warning.

Lirien remained unaffected, her countenance eerily calm amidst chaos.
As Galtar prepared to charge, a sudden dome of dense mana expanded from a single point, encapsulating both Lirien and the bewildered knights in an eerie stillness.
Confusion engulfed the knights as they exchanged worried glances.
"What in the name of the four continents is going on?" one knight questioned frantically.
Another knight replied in a voice laden with uncertainty, "I know not, but it must be her doing!"
Within the mana-charged dome, time itself froze.
