It all happened extremely quickly. The moment the cracks expanded rapidly, everyone understood what was happening as a barrier had already formed around the building. What followed was an intense wave of pressure as the cracks expanded further and further.

BOOOOM!
A deafening blast tore through the air as the space around the building shattered into countless fragments, slamming outward into the barrier and making it tremble violently.
"Watch out!"
"Run! Move back!"
The Guild members rushed back, ushering civilians with them as they watched in horror. Though the barrier contained much of the blast, a powerful force still surged from within, driving everyone farther away.
"Move! Move! Move!"
Zoey shoved people aside, sweat running down her face, her heart pounding as she glanced back at the building. The Section Chief's words echoed in her mind as she fixed her gaze on the barrier again.
What about…
"It's not over. Evacuate everyone."
