Minutes into the rolling chaos, one of the three-dimensional rifts had swiftly been taken care of. Its resplendent, pale, and haunting blue pillar of undulating energy visibly dissolved into almost illusory waves of dispersing light that scattered like collapsing dust.

However, the fortress quickly adjusted to the momentum, as was evident by how swiftly one of the dimensional rifts was taken care of.
As the pillar of surging energy rapidly dispersed and vanished, the surrounding knights and cadets felt a portion of the weight on their chests lift with relief. One of the rifts had been dealt with; perhaps the situation wasn't as irreversible as it had seemed, they began to think.
