The barrier shattered.
"Now, obediently hand over the child, and I won't hurt you," Lareth extended his arm towards the child.
"Lareth!" Aether roared. "Stay away from my wife and my child!!"
The spiritual energy in the house fluctuated.
Swoosh!
Lareth immediately retracted his arm and jumped a few feet back.
Swung!
Swung!
Just as he jumped back, stone cones flew from behind Linda, aimed at him.
"Young master, careful!" The armored man who hit Aether acted. He disappeared and reappeared before Lareth. His speed was far faster than the cones.
"Water wal,"
The blue chest piece of the man released a slight blue hue.
Then, with a wave of the man's hand, a thick water wall rose before him.
Splash!
Splash!
The cones hit into the wall.
Because they were spinning, they started drilling through the wall, but the water resistance slowed them down considerably with each second.
Swoosh!
