Capítulo 420: Chapter 181

"Shouldn't we head outside?" Dean murmured anxiously.

Maxi stood to open the shutters. All along the wall, soldiers fired flame arrows through the crenels. Soon, the pitch-black sky was the color of ash, and enormous rocks rained down on the fainter shield like comets.

A sigh of relief escaped Maxi as she watched the rocks thrown by unseen monsters deflect off the barrier.

"I-It seems… Master Calto's shield is still in place."

"It should stay up until noon. At least that's what Master Calto said," Anette chimed in as she jotted down formulas on a piece of parchment. "And once the shield is down, the mages will cast barriers above the ramparts. All we have to worry about is creating this golem."

Maxi turned to her friend with a grim expression. "Won't they be short on hands?"

"They will have to bear it for now. This golem is our priority," Anette replied brusquely. She retrieved a fresh sheet of parchment and continued working.
