All of those that had been trying to support Gary from the stage, attacking from afar, had completely stopped, as they all bore witness to what had happened. Their attacks, every single one of them, were redirected, and all of them had hit Gary at the same time.
The main culprit that had hit Gary though, was the golden beam of energy that Harvor had unleashed that was meant for Rickle, or at least it looked like it was meant for Rickle.
It seemed like this was the plan of Harvor all along to use the power this way.
"Haha, so that was the person you had hoped of defeating me?" Harvor said, as he stretched out a shadow claw, aiming to grab onto Rickle.
Rickle jumped back and slashed the large sword, breaking through the shadow, but it did next to nothing. He then saw Harvor opening his mouth again, and several small beams were sent his way.
Rickle jumped, moving from side to side, avoiding all of the beams, and lifting the sword up to his face, blocking the attack.
