Phoenix knew there was no room for her to dodge. And she wouldn't be able to cast a firewall strong enough to withstand the attack, either. She could feel it.
So she encased herself in flames, hoping she had enough time to gather a bit of Aether. She was going to show a new move she was working on.
Phoenix rapidly breathed in the surrounding fire, separating the mana particles from it, and condensing it as best she could.
Before long, the icicles started pelting her flame cocoon, and it was rapidly becoming weaker. By the time she had absorbed enough Aether to do what she wanted, the cocoon was gone.
She had started taking damage from all the needles, and her health was dwindling. But she managed to save herself in time.
"Combat Pyromancy: Flame Armor," Phoenix murmured.
