"Honestly…" Uttering just a single word of complaint, I softened my fall with a sudden outburst of repulsion. Yet, even then, just the sheer change of momentum was enough for my bones to painfully twist, almost depriving me of my limbs. Deaccelerating just as quickly I gained the momentum after the attack, I quickly regained both the focus and the footing for the battle.
"Are you honestly going to just throw your lives away for nothing?" Landing on my legs, I bent my knees a bit to soften the impact. Straightening right after, I sent a taxing glance towards the winged figures in the sky. With recurring barrier already in my hand, a single press of a finger was all that I required.
But still, there was the problem of the delay. If I were to activate this monstrous barrier a bit too late, then my own defences would fail before I could escape to the safety of this dimension-shattering barrier.
