The moment the ball thrown by Hartmut arrived a few millimeters away from Lothur's blue shield; this item shone in that same color while its metallic appearance changed.
This change occurred in a fraction of a second when Hartmut's ball came closer to the shield, changing its metallic appearance to a rubbery one.
While everyone present was waiting for Lothur's shield to explode and for him to suffer brutally from Hartmut's vicious attack, the ball in question hit that blue item and, after a millisecond, returned from whence it came.
"What?" Hartmut's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he saw his ball coming back at him with almost the same launching power!
At the same time as this, people in the surrounding area rose from their places to see the decisive move of this match, Lothur's surprising counterattack.
