A lot depended on Remi putting up the barrier in time. Despite her nervousness, she had not failed to contribute to the team, and she didn't fail this time either. A black barrier made of pure aether blocked the corridor the second the inferno was unleashed.
Yet while the barrier blocked the flames, it did not prevent the shockwave from crashing against everyone. It felt like something had slammed into Nero's chest and pushed him back. If he had not already been diving away, it might have been worse.
What accompanied the shockwave was a thunderous roaring as the fire spread down the corridor and burned everything. But that did not last long.
Much like last time that Jackal spread his flames, the building sprayed white smoke on the flames, instantly extinguishing them.
"Remi, lower the barrier," Nero said, and channelled his flames towards the corridor, instantly soaking up the boiling temperature.
