Thanael sent a mental warning at Eoranth and Honuren when he cast his spell. The two were ready when the huge pillar of light came down from heaven. The two jumped away before the pillar arrived.
Satan didn't receive the same warning, but his dexterity and reflex were way above the two. He could dodge even when he was late in reacting. However, Thanael's spell wasn't that simple. As the pillar of light came down, a heavy pressure was generated. The pressure was not only a physical effect but also a mental one. It caused everyone in the target area difficulty in moving. It also slowed any attempt at casting spells.
Magically, this pressure didn't affect allies, only the enemies. Hence, Eoranth and Honuren had no trouble fleeing the target zone while Satan was hampered.
The runic symbols of Satan's defensive suit flared brightly as his flaming weapon changed into a buckler. He also cast a flame shield and placed it on top of him.
