A terrifying, world-ending light bore down upon him.
Ian hovered in the air, a faint golden halo illuminating his form. It was a barrier of Order, created by five highly compressed Rules.
SCREEECH!!!
The pillar of destructive light slammed into the barrier of Order, and an ear-piercing sound of Annihilation erupted in the Void.
The barrier of Order caved inward, countless fine cracks spiderwebbing across its surface, but it ultimately held.
Amid the intersecting beams of light, Ian and Astra locked eyes across the distance.
This isolated fragment of space was now on the brink of collapse.
Cracks spiderwebbed across the sky, and the darkness of the Void seeped through the Rifts. The great hall began to crumble and shatter, revealing the bottomless Void below.
Each time the two clashed, the fragment of space trembled. With every collision of their Rules, a piece of this dimension eroded away.
'He still hasn't made his move?' Ian thought, a little puzzled and disappointed.
