The robbers were fully prepared. So, they leaped over the wall. The mansion guards had expected it and fired arrows at them as soon as they saw them. The arrows stopped in front of the robbers and fell limp. A transparent barrier appeared in front of them — something like elastic rubber instead of hard glass. It absorbed the impact.
The robbers had clearly anticipated this. They knew the wall was dangerous and that they needed a barrier. The first one to jump over probably held the barrier and spread it for the others to hide behind.
Even though they knew the arrows couldn't penetrate, the arrows rained down like bullets. The arrows stuck to the barrier and fell. But among the arrows was one that glowed. It passed straight through the barrier and pierced one of the robbers!
"Light arrows! Mana-infused arrows! They broke through the barrier's magic!!"
