As soon as the egg began floating, absorbing the magic-infused blood that was scattered across the room, Gremory's composure crumbled. Fear overtook her expression, and in a frantic panic, she launched attack after attack at the egg, her previous calm demeanor completely gone.

Ivana quickly threw her shield, which spun rapidly around the egg. In a swift motion, she appeared beside it, catching the shield mid-air and slamming it into the ground. Immediately, a magical barrier formed, with Ivana standing firmly, gripping the shield with all her strength.
The blood scattered around the room was rapidly being absorbed by the egg, and now the barrage of blood spikes and magic missile attacks had lessened in intensity. This gave Broken and Marlene a crucial opening to strike at Gremory once more.
