I don't think it actually destroys matter.

My theory is that the field is actually a one way portal to somewhere else. Because a complete destruction of matter is impossible, especially if it also includes energy. If it would work like that the Nilokeras would at least stagger a bit when getting hit by something heavy or slow down while walking through larger objects (such as buildings) and it would overload on its own when it fell into the water.

But if the energy field acted as a one way portal to a different place (a different dimension for example), letting everything in and nothing out it would perfectly explain why it would absorb ANY impact without any visible reaction from the Nilokeras. I say a one way portal because if it was a two-way portal, the signal of the drone they sent would still get sent back.

The field is active at all times so it only requires the energy to keep it activated and under control, regardless of how much matter/energy gets absorbed.

Also, in episode 8 Slaine referred to that field as "dimensional barrier" what further suggests it being actually a one way portal.

And why it retains its original appearance despite being covered by that field? Dunno, maybe it is glowing on its own. The field only absorbs outside sources of energy, it shouldn't be able to do so with energy or light coming from the inside or it would be impossible to keep the field under control without being able to interfere with it from the inside
