Days passed, and the Lidia family neither released their captives nor held trials. With no further actions from either the Policing Team or the Patrol Team, Mongna Ant Land Cottage sank into a bizarre calm.
Many understood that this tranquility was only temporary, much like the calm before a storm.

That day, accompanied by a muffled sound, the Ant Being barrier vibrated noticeably, causing the vast campus to tremble slightly as well.
Hearing the disturbance, Ivan hurried to the Twin Towers, his eyes settling on the dome in the center of the campus. He saw sections of it falling off in large chunks, vanishing amidst the chaos of swirling energies.
"The defensive barrier might not drop to 22 runes bundles, it seems. Over the years, the Lidia family has indeed been negligent in maintaining the barrier, and now they have no excuses."
He frowned, feeling as if the defensive barrier was triggering some sort of chain reaction, continuing to sustain damage unabated.
