Meanwhile, back at Horizon's base, Von's grin never wavered as the battle began in earnest.
Fire, wind, and lightning clashed against Frigid's icy barrier, creating a spectacle that lit up the battlefield. Despite the overwhelming firepower of the Kingdom of Stars, Frigid held strong, his shield glowing with frost magic as cracks began forming beneath his feet.
"Hold the line!" Von shouted, his guns flashing as he deflected an incoming bolt of lightning from Theron.
Silphie continued casting her barriers, reinforcing Frigid and the others. Sweat dripped down her brow, but her focus never wavered. Lydia, trembling but determined, unleashed bursts of mana to disrupt their enemies' spells.
"They're pushing harder than I thought . . ." Von muttered, his expression tightening slightly. Still, his grin didn't fade.
Despite the chaos, they held firm. Against all odds, they refused to give ground.
