What does it feel like to have a mountain range pressing down on you? Bartlett didn't know before, as his weapon was not forged from nine-turn malleable iron, and he wasn't skilled at using long weapons.
But at this time, the barbarian in the Arena had a deep understanding of it.
With another dull thud, the kite-shaped shield 'Metallic Poem' (purchased from the literature-loving Dwarf blacksmith in Muya City) in Bartlett's right hand was knocked aside again. The tremendous force caused the shield to slip out of his hand and fly into the sky, while the barbarian was inevitably sent flying as well.
He quickly adjusted his body balance in mid-air, and rose again after a roll when he landed. 'Metallic Poem' continued to fly higher, striking the dark red barrier in the sky and stirring a ripple before rebounding back to the ground and embedding itself in the sand not far away.
