Unlike before I wasn't dodging a simple blade that threatened to slice through my skin, but instead I was dodging a compressed ring of wind that shot through the air like a bullet before exploding outwards, sending a wave of energy rippling through the air and squishing muscle against bone even without a direct impact.
Someone on the other side of us was acting like a humanoid gatling gun as they shot dozens of those rings back to back, smacking them against shields - which threatened to rip the metal to shreds while also chewing through the mana supplied into the enchantment - and sometimes even landing against our troops.
Those unlucky enough to get hit were allowed to experience the wonderful feeling of a projectile exploding beneath their skin and ripping the muscle and tissues off of their bone before shattering the calcium sticks to completely erase that portion of their body.
