Zhong Baiye and the others also noticed the change in the Pyro Apostle's expression, but it was already too late.
The fireballs the Pyro Apostle had launched into the sky earlier had now swollen to many times their original size.
Even the air around those fireballs seemed to burn.
While Zhong Baiye and the others fought the Pyro Apostle, the fireballs came hurtling down toward them.

Zhong Baiye reacted as well, erecting an Earth Wall outside the Water Shield and coating it with a layer of Blazing Flame, hoping it would stop the fireballs.
Once Zhong Baiye and Yelan had finished, the fireballs finally struck.
