Siegfried was the first to shatter the petrification status. With a sharp inhale, his muscles surged, veins glowing faintly as his physical enchantments kicked in.

Sparks exploded at the point of impact, his arms vibrating from the force.
Still, he didn't fall.
His body glowed faintly with reinforcement magic, absorbing some of the damage.
"Come on, then. Let's see what makes you the boss."
Siegfried muttered under his breath.
Renie broke free next, gasping as sensation returned to her limbs. Without hesitation, she raised both hands, electric arcs dancing across her skin.
