Destiny's Gambit

Now that Midas had stabilised himself in the air, he understood what had happened. The Guardian's colossal arm had swung down, crashing into the barrier and heavily damaging it. The impact had sent Midas and his warriors flying backwards, and the ones under the barrier had been flattened to the floor, with some heavily injured due to the shockwaves. It was terrifying.

Even worse, spiderweb-like cracks were spreading everywhere on the barrier. The protective energy that had once stood strong against countless attacks had now become almost useless and fragile. It was barely holding together. Just one more attack from the Guardian was enough to destroy it.

"Damn it!" Midas cursed under his breath, his heart racing uncontrollably as he assessed the situation. The barrier was not going to last long, and that meant their base city on the mountainside was all but done for… he had to save his people in any way he could.
