Thunderbolt. Rain. Wind.

There were many natural elements that tried to destroy the earth, however, they all failed to do so. Whether it becomes dust or mud, the earth was still strong enough to support everything on it.

That earth was moving.

It was different than an earthquake.

However, everybody could feel the weirdness of the earth.

Lock was the first to feel it. The young boy was the one who was standing closest to Cale. He could feel the light vibrations underneath his feet.

It was different than the rumbling of the earth when a thunderbolt struck it. The earth made a very light and subtle noise.

Lock's gaze then headed toward the source of those vibrations.

The vibrations had started from underneath where Cale Henituse was standing.

Lock’s bloodshot eyes soon opened wide.

“Ugh!”

Cale's body staggered. Cale’s foot that was stepping on the slightly shaking ground slightly shook.

“Y, young master-nim!”

Lock reached his hand out in shock. However, his hand could not grab Cale, who bent forward and staggered to the side.

Lock moved his hand that grabbed empty air again in order to try to grab Cale’s shoulder.

It was at that moment.

Baaaaang!

It was the noise that had been hammering against the shield.

The noise that should have been in the sky felt extremely close.

Lock felt chills throughout his body. His gaze headed toward the source of the noise.

“Ahhh! H, hurry!”

“T, the shield broke!”

‘…Broke?’

The shield will not break. Lock recalled how Vice Captain Hilsman told him through a call about how that phrase had become famous.

The Gorge of Death. It was a place with so much wind in the winter that it felt as if someone was crying all night.

The calls he had with Vice Captain Hilsman every so often in order to report in and hear about how Cale and the others had achieved victory had made Lock's heart beat fast.

The story that was the most memorable was about the shield. The Indestructible Shield. He felt himself heating up every time he heard about how the shield would not break.

But that shield broke?

Lock's gaze headed up to the sky.

Baaaaaang!

A thunderbolt struck the ground. The people heading for the teleportation magic circle started to walk faster. Screams and shrieks filled the battlefield.

He looked up at where the thunderbolt had struck down from.

A portion of the silver shield was broken.

Baaaaang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of thunderbolts were still striking down at the shield.

Lock could see cracks appearing throughout the silver shield. It would soon break completely.

That fact filled Lock's mind.

Bang!

Lock raised his head.

He looked directly above where he was standing. He could see that the silver shield was breaking above him as well.

Craaaack-

The cracks were starting to get worse.

“Magic Brigade, activate the shield!”

"Archie, Paseton, help people escape!”

Rosalyn and Witira shouted with urgency. The ground was starting to shake even more as all of this happened. Lock's heart started to beat faster.

It was at that moment.

Craaaaaaack.

The shield above his head broke.

Lock could see the bright light coming in through the shield.

His heart was beating crazily.

If that thunderbolt lands on him, then-
