Finale (14)

A silver-scale barrier protected Tritus when the flash of light closed in on him. Cracks appeared on the silver-scale barrier from where the flash of light hit, but it remained intact.

Layla gaped in surprise after seeing this. Her surprise did not come from how Tritus's barrier managed to withstand Obstruction's summoned attack but from how it looked like scales.

'This....'

She was suddenly reminded of a time in the past when the Dragon Lord went to war and led several legendary beasts against the invading 'demons.' No matter how often the 'demons' attacked the beasts, silver-scale barriers appeared on their bodies and protected them.

If Layla remembered correctly, those barriers were protective shields that only the Dragon Lord could employ with his Sigils.
