Trapped at the center of the spatial cage, the group watched as wormholes continued opening all around them.
Seraphine raised a shield first. A gray barrier rose from beneath their feet, protecting the unconscious Ethan and everyone else. Then she pointed overhead. Dense Primordial Death Energy gathered into a gray-black beam and came straight down from the top of the cage.
Boom!
The beam struck the mechanical floor, sending gray energy spreading through the cracks. Every War Machine in the lead was swallowed. Their metal shells rapidly dulled, and the circuits inside went dark under the corrosion of Primordial Death Energy.
But the attack wasn't as decisive as expected.
These War Machines weren't truly alive. The power of death could destroy their energy and physical structure, but it couldn't end them as completely as it could a living creature.
