"[Fist of Annihilation]!"
The impact didn't explode. It crushed.
The barrier dented inward as if struck by two falling stars, light warping around the points of contact.
In front of Orianna, the sky bloomed.
A massive spectral blossom unfolded above the barrier, layered petals made of razor-edged mana spiraling outward before slamming down as one. Roots of light speared into the surface, spreading fractures like veins beneath glass.
From the flanks, blades sang.
Ayame cut once. Clean. Perfect. A line carved so precisely that the barrier didn't react at first.
Then the light along the cut split apart.
Vex followed with her strike, sliding into the barrier, matching up with Ayame's cut and widening it with surgical precision.
Black Fang was the only one who paused for a mere millisecond, letting the others strike first. This allowed her to see the pattern of the barrier, to see its most pronounced weakness.
