The situation was getting worse by the second. One's Stamina would become astronomically high if they broke through to the Spirit Realm, so if it is just slamming their weapons fiercely on a barrier with a minimal use of powerful skills, then they can continue doing this for a long time if not forever.
The Gargoyles didn't have forever of course, however, from the looks of it, the barrier wouldn't hold on for much longer either, at most, it'll hold for a few more minutes.
The atmosphere became tense as some prisoners were shivering and others were begging Taliya and the other warriors to lay down their weapons and surrender but to no avail.
