Seeing the shadowy barrier collapse was to my expectations, though I had expected it to go down a little faster. I really had underestimated Chris. As the shadow snakes were summoned and tore forth at me, I raised a few tendrils in front of my body to absorb the main blow, as I began to charge a beam to counter them. However before this was required Aurion stepped in. As the light clashed against the snakes, though not yet apparent it would work, I ceased the charge and thrust a spiked tendril into the ground. It tore down beneath Chris, before forcing up in an attack from beneath the floor.
