All third ranker within Erik's dome had their neck hair stand up when they felt the power behind Lilith's explosion. Erik's barrier wavered and flickered… but it held, barely.
"Hmpf," Lilith snorted, her gaze tracing the weaknesses her attack had created in the dome. "Impressive, but you can't take a second atta—"
Suddenly, Erik's eyes flashed, and power flowed back in the dome. Nearly instantly, all holes were filled, and the barrier was restored to its earlier power.
"You—" Lilith blinked, turning back to Erik with a scornful smirk. "Nice try, but how long can you keep that up, huh?"
"Why don't try it?" Erik calmly shrugged, smiling confidently.
Narrowing her eyes, she did exactly that. Once more, twice more, thrice more. Explosion after explosion was flicked against Erik's barrier. Every single time it flickered and wavered, nearly breaking, but then instantly restored itself before Lilith could launch her second attack.
