After Maleina and Baltanor were smacked to the ground with dark blood tendrils covered in black patterns that pierced them throughout their bodies, a shining dark silver aura burst forth from a strange crystal floated out from Maleina and shattered. It enveloped them in a protective dark silver barrier with eccentric structural motes.
Rin and Lily were expelled by the barrier as a powerful force assaulted them, but Erix reacted swiftly, freezing them in space with his newfound control over the Space with his 2nd realm space affinity, saving them from a potential crash.
Meanwhile, the barrier nullified Erix's and Lilith's attacks and effects, freeing Maleina, Baltanor, and Lynia.
Lilith raised an eyebrow, recognizing the power, and an amused smile spread across her face. 'So her father is Dark Sterling Valen.'
Hokran died instantly with Rin's and Lily's first attack, so he remained dead in the barrier.
