Gabriel stood at the entrance for some time, watching the exact point where the formation gathered its force.
The center of the chamber sank by a hand's length, and the black nails all snapped toward the doorway at once without warning.
Gabriel felt the force gather at the entrance.
BOOM!!!
The blast smashed through the ice wall and threw broken chunks down the corridor. VV took the front of the force with their sword, and two shallow cuts opened across their armor where black fragments slipped past the blade.
FWOOOSH!
Gabriel moved through the broken ice before the dust settled. His sword flashed once, cutting three fragments out of the air before they reached the injured members behind VV.
IceQueen caught another piece with a thin shield of ice. The fragment drilled five centimeters into it before stopping, and her wrist bent slightly from the force.
