An Extra’s POV

The Otherworlders sat.

They discussed amongst one another, enjoying the moment of peace that served as their solace.

Even the initially grumpy Justin joined in on the fun, and a cheery atmosphere pervaded the contrasting representation of the Dungeon.

All was well.

Until…

"EVERYONE DOWN!"

The roar from Adonis caused all the Otherworlders to freeze in panic, rather than listen to the words of their leaders.

This could have been due to the suddenness of his scream, or the fact that they weren't in the proper mental space to take orders.

However, the more likely reason was a third option.

… The fact that they all felt a pressure so heavy that none of them could move a single inch.

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!~

The double door that led to the Boss Room was eviscerated in an instant, and a deep blue surge of energy burst out of the entrance.

It devastated everything that surrounded it and rushed towards the Otherworlders.

~FWOOSH!~

The Grand Elementals instantly rushed to the forefront of the seated nine, their massive forms blocking them from inevitable death.

The result of this action was fatal.

… All four of them disintegrated the moment the blast reached them.

None was able to withstand its power.

They could not resist.

The protectors all perished with that single blast, yet the misfortune was yet to be satisfied.

The roaring blast still charged at the Otherworlders with just as great an intensity as when it first manifested.

Surely, the end had come.

"[Absolute Defense]!"

A barrier of golden light suddenly covered the Otherworlders, shielding them from the immense radiation of ultimate destruction.

The result was as one would expect.
