Shrouded by layers of concealment spells, Merlin watched as wave after wave of blood beasts slammed into the barrier, only to be repelled each time.
They clawed, bit, and hurled their bodies at it in a frenzy, but no matter how violently they attacked, not a single scratch appeared on its surface.
In fact, many of the weaker beasts even died as a result of the brutal stampede. But none of that mattered. All these mindless beasts cared for at the moment was to get to their mother and aid her.
But for that… they would need to overcome the crimson barrier set in place by Merlin.
It was important to note that the barrier was far stronger than any Rank 2 Spell in general because it was reinforced by runic magic.
The youth's knowledge of runic magic was considerable. Given that, he had enriched his understanding of it after studying several tomes from the Brotherhood's archives, the founder's journals, and absorbing memories inside the lotus.
