Layers of Protection

Blood splashed on the ground as Arad's body fell to the ground, motionless.

Nina's skin turned deep brown, and her eyes shot red with blood. The veins on her muscles bulged as a deep growl escaped her lungs. BAM! She instantly jumped, disappearing from everyone's view.

The ground where she stood shattered, destroying the building around in one blast. "Don't!" Merlin shouted, but she was late. Nina was already hundreds of meters away. "That flea barbarian." She growled, Ginger, how is he?"

"He'll be fine," Ginger said with a smile, looking at Arad's body, "He only lost his head. But, protect him with a barrier."

Merlin waved her staff and enclosed Arad in a ten-layered prismatic barrier.

"Alcott cut anything that gets close," Ginger pointed at Arad, and he pulled his sword, taking a stance. A second shot won't slip through him.
