A surge of concentrated aura burst from Jake's palm. For a brief moment, a strange force pushed back against it, but it wasn't strong enough to resist. A loud bang erupted from beneath the ground, as if a hidden mechanism had shattered, sending tremors rippling across the area. Jake felt something rupture deep below.

The wendigos and ghouls that had been charging toward him suddenly scattered in all directions, fleeing toward the outskirts of the city.
"Don't let a single one escape, Gogo!" Jake commanded.
Gogo responded immediately, launching into action and intercepting the fleeing creatures with ease.
'So that was the barrier Old Man Duke mentioned. Now that I've broken it, they can escape and reach nearby vampire settlements. I'll trust Gogo to handle that part.'
