A blue barrier descended from above, fitting over the Rule Runes barrier he had released and completely sealing Green's laboratory off from the outside.
Within the barrier, terrifying heat swirled. Across a radius of four or five hundred meters centered on the laboratory, the soil and rocks had melted into magma, forming a vast Magma Lake.
