The creature charged.
Toward the bearer — F6 active in the interior was the most threatening presence the creature could process at this moment, and its threat‑assessment system prioritized it absolutely.
Davan in its path.
[F5 — Dominion Field — barrier — everything that remained]
Not to hold for twelve seconds.
To hold for as many as he could.
The creature against the barrier.
The barrier gave way faster than before — 34,200 HP from a bearer against 912,400 HP from a creature, the equation was worse than before.
"One." Giving way.
[Davan HP: 34,200 → 22,800]
"Two." The bearer with F6 concentrated all available degradation inside the creature — the heat that the Fragment read as structural disorder converging on the point of greatest accumulated damage.
[Davan HP: 22,800 → 12,400]
"Three." The barrier at ten percent.
[Davan HP: 12,400 → 4,800]
The barrier collapsed.
The creature came through.
"Now!" shouted Davan — the first time in the fight he had raised his voice.
