"Heavy armor detected. He's right next to us!" No sooner had the combat officer's warning fallen than Yvraine's scalp began to tingle.
She immediately raised a psychic barrier against one section of the wall and ordered the soldiers to run farther down the corridor.
The metal wall was violently torn open. Pipes and equipment embedded within it were destroyed, spewing scorching gas and electrical sparks that obscured the beast-like figure breaking through.
Yvraine's shield was struck by a massive, heavy claw with a flamer mounted in its center. Pressed against her shield, it began spewing a torrent of fire.
