"What? It's been breached?"
Merlin, Ashura, Sith, and the others were aghast. After all their grueling efforts, they had finally managed to keep the Void Beasts from breaking through the barrier. How could it have been breached now?
Their shock was only natural. This barrier against the Void Sea was vitally important, practically their last line of defense. If even this barrier fell, it would all but spell destruction.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Dillon said helplessly, "It has indeed been breached. You fought hard to hold this section of the barrier, but the other areas weren't so fortunate. Something may have happened in the Void Sea this time. The Void Beasts actually moved out together, attacking almost the entire barrier. Apart from a few sections that barely withstood their assault, the barrier was breached everywhere else. Our defensive line is riddled with holes now. At least twenty Void Beasts have already broken through."
Dillon explained the news to Merlin and the others in detail. It was a staggering blow. Earlier, they had sworn to hold this barrier, but things had not gone as they wished. In the end, they had failed to defend it.
