An army of the Blackhearts surrounded the peaceful town of Kuroshima. Their numbers seemed to increase with each passing moment.
However, they were unable to enter the town, which was occupied by more and more mercenaries.
A translucent barrier emitted a faint hum as it repelled all attempts at breaching its defenses.
It was a barrier that was fueled with Magick Energy. It's something that five major cities also have, but it's much larger in scale.
It was created for situations like this, where the safety and security of the city's inhabitants were of the utmost importance.
However, Kuroshima's barrier wasn't as strong. It was starting to crack and show signs of weakening, causing concern among the mercenaries.
The strength of the Blackhearts varied drastically, but most of them were Archwarrior level or even above. Such firepower was very formidable.
Thus, cracks appeared, pushing the barrier closer to its breaking point.
