The sound was louder this time, multiple fractures appearing across the glass floor in an expanding pattern that originated from where Father Caelen sat on the bound serpent's back.
The cracks spread faster than before, forming larger fissures that branched into networks, making entire sections of the floor look as if they might collapse at any moment.
Then the serpents joined the assault, dozens of them channeling elemental techniques as fire, water, earth, and lightning-based attacks crossed the distance toward Jack's position.
The magical bombardment struck glass as much as it struck Jack, each spell creating additional stress on the crystalline structure that was already compromised by the previous damage.
The walls began showing cracks now, fractures spreading through the vertical surfaces as accumulated magical pressure exceeded whatever threshold the dungeon's construction could withstand.
