BOOM.
The ship rocked and it felt like it might collapse any moment now.
It was little more than an illusion. The S-tiers weren't even close enough to do real damage, and even if they were, they would have to wail on the ship for weeks, maybe even months before they could do any real damage to it.
The ship was an S-tier item for a reason. It would take someone exceptionally strong within the S-tier to do real damage to it.
However… doing damage to the ship was one matter. Breaking its force fields and breaking in was a different matter entirely. The moment the shields ran out of energy and Sylas ran dry on Aether Stones, the S-tiers would be able to step onto the ship themselves.
At that point, it wouldn't matter how sturdy the ship was. What he wanted to protect most would be in the line of fire.
He leaned over the controls, his breathing steady.
Cheri was growing more worried with every passing moment, but when she looked over at the man and woman, they looked… oddly calm.
