As everyone present realized the danger they still very much found themselves in, it didn't take long before they used every trump card in their hands to get as far away from the site of the ancient formation as possible. Using whatever they had without daring to hold anything back. Knowing from the simple yet powerful wave of destruction that they had just faced, that there was no way they would be able to survive in the face of even stronger wave of destruction.
Luckily for the survivors of the first wave of destruction, the ancient formation didn't send another wave of destruction their way immediately, but instead seemingly used the vast space that had been cleared up by the initial wave of destruction to forcibly expand and integrate the collapsing endless paths guardian formation into the surrounding landscape. Increasing the overall footprint of the ancient formation by more than ten times, before it seemed to reach a limit and couldn't expand any more.
