Invasion

-----

Although they were being slain constantly, due to their naturally tougher bodies and mightier strength, the Demons and Demonic Beasts eventually swarmed the barrier set by Ruby. Even after all their attempts, and even as all fighters were taking care of them, there were so many of these invaders that the entire barrier started getting covered by them. Their attacks, both physical and magical, rained down upon it constantly.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! 

Crack, crack…!

"Dammit! The barrier won't hold back for much longer…!"

Ruby gritted her teeth as she concentrated and fully focused on the barrier, but her Divine Power was already reaching dangerously low numbers. Above all, the barrier kept gaining cracks, it wouldn't last much longer!

"Do we have to just escape at the end?!"
