Suddenly, a barrier materialised out of thin air and enveloped the falling spirit beasts, including those that had already crashed against the ground, shielding them from the pressure.
The spirit beasts grimaced in pain as they gathered themselves and rose to their feet. They looked at the barrier and sighed in relief.
Jaros, Zaelthar and the others, who had nearly plunged into the ground, steadied themselves in midair and turned to look at Orion with a complex mixture of emotions.
They realised that what was about to unfold was beyond anything they could participate in.
Without hesitation, they immediately soared into the sky and swiftly returned to the floating island. The barrier moved along with them.
Only four spirit beasts had managed to withstand the crushing wave of pressure. One of them was Kun'lin.
