The spear/staff was aimed at me again but this time I didn't have the time to hold up my spear. Hell I didn't even have time to even properly get up. Luckily for me he seemed to be complacent with how easily the fight had gone.
A second to gloat, and another to give me this cocky look. It was enough for me to reorient myself and take my spear back into my hand.
With a push to the ground it exploded from under me, pieces of debris flying around and obscuring me from his vision.
I used that moment to retreat further, barriers of aether slowly forming in my hand. They were small but they were what I needed. Something that I could actually use. Compared to how my aether felt when I tried to use it in my body, it was practically free use outside. It was like walking through water compared to actual air. A weird analogy but it worked for me.
