Rain assumed his guard and then prepared to attack; sensing danger, Arel stopped causing the solar flares, but much to her surprise, Rain tried to attack the portal with an insanely charged Palm Strike…
The portal shook thanks to the impact, but Rain's arm suddenly trembled as well… the spell truly rejected him like it had a physical form, and his right hand got numb for several seconds… several holes appeared in it as well.
"The portal must be working like a domain… whatever is on the other side, it can only work inside this area," Rain thought. "This battle feels more like a game of chess than a real battle."
Arel didn't have any idea of what would happen if the portal were to suffer too much damage, and she wasn't willing to find out either… with that in mind, she fired several solar flares toward Rain and increased their frequency to keep him busy and wasting energy… she could tell that his reserves were decreasing.
