After Asterin easily subdued the demoness, the situation in the city stabilized thanks to Adam's intervention; he put up a strong fight against the demoness and, when he faced her summoner, Silas.
Local forces quickly secured key points throughout the city, while the few pockets of resistance were eliminated without major complications.

Adam, sitting by a window, watched as the barrier erected by the attackers slowly vanished, while the first rays of sunlight pierced the dark sky and the moon gave way to the sun.
The barrier did not vanish all at once, but in visible fragments, as if its structure were collapsing from within following the defeat of those who had kept it active.
