The air around the citadel became increasingly oppressive, so unstable that it felt as though even a slight push could cause the atmosphere to implode.

Outside the citadel, those who were aware of the powerful individuals inside began to panic. They understood that if what they feared was about to happen, the entirety of sector 6 would be in grave danger.

Panic erupted throughout the capital, with people bolting away from the citadel as quickly as possible.

Inside the citadel, the situation was even more dire.

The air was so heavy that the tier three family heads, all master+ ranks, struggled to breathe.

The tier two and tier one family heads found themselves freezing in their seats, their bodies betraying their fear.

Even the usually beastly Gale Stormrider, who was always ready for a fight, felt his heart quicken.
