Sigrdrifa and Eleanor immediately sped up, as they were both equipped with advanced armor, and thus were the first to meet the burning stones head-on, shielding their companions behind them.
The Night Watch Knights also followed suit, utilizing the high defensive power of their power armors to form a moving steel wall, offering firm protection to the remaining companions.
The rain of stones struck the shields and armors, making a dense and rattling sound.
The shockwaves transmitted through the armor caused significant damage to everyone's bodies in just the first round.
Almost at the same moment they were injured, everyone came to a realization.
These stones had become "cannonballs" because Alexander's dead body carried the "Meteor" Sequence in his Bloodline, which could manipulate gravity to control the stones.
That meant, the farther apart the two sides were, the stones would be accelerated by gravity even faster, thus inflicting greater damage.
