The blaring city-wide alarms echoed across New Avalon, sending a wave of panic through the populace. The high-pitched wails reverberated off the skyscrapers, reminding everyone that something had gone terribly wrong.

The city's automated protection protocols kicked in immediately.

Every building structure across New Avalon began wrapping itself in a metallic, mana-infused outer layer, forming an impenetrable barrier around them.

The transformation was almost instantaneous.

Glass windows were covered by reinforced plating, doors sealed shut, and the entire skyline darkened as protective layers engulfed the tallest structures.

The once lively streets were now lined with hermetically sealed enclosures.

The message was clear:

No one was getting in. No one was getting out.

The city's defenses would only unlock once the emergency was over.
