Just as Fae suspected… the situation was serious.
Firstly, the defensive measures of the Eastern Continent consisted of three major layers. The initial and outward one was a massive barrier.
It disrupted the Mana or Miasma of anyone that entered its range, causing Skills and Magic abilities to get distorted. However, not only was the effect minimal on the invading creatures, but it almost seemed like it had no effect at all.
This seemed impossible to all the observers, since every creature either relied on Mana or Miasma to function.
Secondly, the middle layer of the defensive measures was an energy barrier that blocked out the enemy from advancing any further. However, this was unable to stop their march either. Their presence disrupted the function of the barrier, almost as if they were living personifications of the first barrier's effect.
They were able to easily bypass the energy dome, reaching the third and final lie of defense.
—Machines!
