Erend and Eccar advanced quickly through the air. Their wings slicing through the air as they passed effortlessly through the protective dome. The barrier wass designed to repel anything that originated from outside the palace and recognized them as allies so it allowing their swift passage.
Their focus remained on the two ominous figures with red armor glinting in the light of the vortex above as the deadly spikes rained down upon the dome.
Erend take a deep inhale then activated the fiery power within him. His chest rumbled with heat and in the next breath he unleashed a torrent of flames.
BWOOOSH!
Fire burst from his mouth in a massive cone and become a searing blaze that filled the sky ahead of them. The flames roared as they surged toward the descending red spikes, aiming to incinerate them before they could strike.
Beside him Eccar tapped into the elemental forces of the earth. His eyes shining with Magic as he gestured with his hands then he summon hundreds of boulders from the air around him. The rocks materialized in an instant, forming a colossal barrage that launched toward the spikes, each boulder were filled with the raw power of his earth Magic.
The two forces met in the sky in a violent clash of fire, stone, and crimson Magic. Erend's fire burned through scores of the red spikes, reducing them to ash as they tried to pierce through his flames.
At the same time, Eccar's boulders crashed into the remaining spikes, smashing them to pieces in mid-air. The sky became a chaotic display of destruction with explosions of energy lighting up the horizon.
Yet despite their combined efforts, the sheer number of red spikes was overwhelming. Even as Erend's fire and Eccar's boulders destroyed many of them a handful slipped through their defenses, and shooting toward the dome below.
They struck the shimmering barrier with terrible force, causing small but noticeable cracks to form across its surface. The dome flickered under the strain but it still held because there are not too many of them.
"Dammit!" Erend growled, his eyes darting to the cracks forming below. "There's too many of them!"
Eccar gritted his teeth, frustration building as they fought to contain the onslaught.
"We can't let them hit the dome again or it will be completely shattered!" he shouted over the din of battle. His hands moved rapidly, summoning more earth Magic to reinforce their attack.
BOOM!
BOOM!
...
The boulders exploded on impact.
A massive burst of flame and molten rock erupted around the two figures, swallowing them in a violent explosion. The force of the blast sent shockwaves through the air, the crackling sound echoing across the battlefield. For a moment, all that could be seen was a swirling mass of fire and debris, the inferno consuming everything in its path.
Erend and Eccar hovered in place, watching the explosion with tense anticipation. Flames continued to burn in the sky and crackling fiercely, obscuring the harbingers from their view. Smoke billowed out, carried by the wind, and for a few seconds there was nothing but the chaotic roar of fire in the air.
"Did we get them?" Eccar muttered, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the smoke. But then he realized his words will not be true. "Nah, I don't think so."
But just as the last embers of the explosion began to fade, a chilling laugh echoed through the air once again. The flames parted, revealing the two harbingers still standing. Though their armor was scorched and cracked in places their eyes burned with fury. The explosion had damaged them, but they were far from defeated.
"You'll have to try harder than that," one of them growled.

Erend's jaw clenched and let out a breath. "It will not be that easy, brother," he muttered under his breath.
They are readying himself for the next attack.
