Pakyaaaan!!
The roaring sound resembled that of a bombardment, right afterwards, the sound of glass breaking could be heard throughout the Kingdom’s capital. The air shook and trembled from the impact, the windows in the corridor that Yue’s group was taking was also rattling.
[Wawa, what on earth!?]
[This is…..it can’t be!?]
Shia while using her rabbit ears to their maximum point in order to hear people who might appear, instinctively covers up both of her rabbit ears while leaking out a voice. Right afterwards, Ririana’s face turned pale and she rushed up to the window. Yue and them also approach the window to see what’s going on.
And, to the spectacle that greets their eyes…...
[Such a thing…..the great barrier…..it was broken?]
Ririana covers her mouth and says in a shaking voice. It’s just as she said, in the night sky of the Kingdom’s capital, the great barrier broke into particles of magic and scattered like dust.
Ririana can only watch the spectacle in amazement, a light flashed at that next moment, the roaring sound was heard once again. And, the thin film of light which covered the Kingdom’s capital began wavering.
[Even the second barrier….why…..is it so fragile? With this, soon…..]
What is the great barrier that Ririana speaks of, there are three huge magic barriers that defend the Kingdom from foreign enemies. An artifact generates the barrier into three points, magicians of the imperial court pour their magic powers into it regularly in order to sustain the barriers. It’s strength has been proven many times, the Kingdom has been defended from the Majinzoku’s invasion for hundreds of years. This was one of the reasons why the war is still at a state of standstill.
A barrier of absolute protection was broken down in a single moment. And, just now, the second barrier was also close to breaking. The closer the barriers are to the Kingdom, the stronger they become, but if the second barrier was about to break at any moment now, it’s only a matter of time before the last one falls as well. The royal palace is getting noisy, it appears they’ve noticed that the barrier was broken. Lights begin to flicker on at many places.
[It can’t be, an inside job? …...But, giving a hand….to the enemy forces? Just what is going on….]
