The bright flash of light that followed was so powerful that no one could withstand its glare, not even Jake. He had already closed his eyes as a safety precaution and as per his plan he activated the Oracle Shield skill, which had so far never been used.
[Oracle Shield lvl1: An indestructible spherical force field enveloping the owner of the Oracle Device will be generated. Maximum range: 0m. Effect duration: 5 seconds. Aether Cost: 200M Aether pts per activation.]
A supple yet indestructible silver force field wrapped around his body like a second skin and he waited nervously for the blast to come. He almost expected to experience some form of pain, discomfort or at least be shaken a little, but the shield did its job.
When he opened his eyes again a short time later, the explosion was already over and the shockwave was already past him. He fretted for a second about his friends who had escaped in Emiwan's shuttle earlier, but no unpleasant notifications darkened his mood.
