The entire chamber felt the ripple of the impact. The protective barrier that enveloped the stage trembled under the strain, distorting as if it might shatter at any moment. The instructor and Eldrin watched in horror, expecting the worst.
And there, at the center, stood Liam, unharmed. A giant hammer hovered in front of him, having completely blocked the golem's attack. The remnant energy of the attack spilled around him and meaninglessly hit the barrier just like the rest of the attack.
On the other side, the golem now stood completely powerless, all of the runes dimmed back to zero. The golem itself was decorated with many cracks and fissures. Everything stood still for a moment before the entire golem collapsed and crumbled into dust.
"He… actually… did… it…" Eldrin opened and closed his mouth.
"Marvelous!" The instructor looked flabbergasted, his earlier panic replaced by a mix of admiration and disbelief.
