Chapter 381: CCCLXXXI. The Splinter

*boom*crush*baaam*

The deafening noises of the boulders chipping the outer surface of the barrier faded after several minutes, during which only the sound of the smaller rock fragments gliding along the dome was heard. 

Master Egill dropped his grip on his rod and suddenly the barrier disappeared into thin air, letting in the dense post-explosion black dust.

The soldiers began coughing, covering their faces with their arms, trying not to choke.

As the dust became clearer and the scene gradually returned to be visible, the spectacle before their eyes left them breathless again.
