My way

[soul form]

Zaine's body shifted at the last second becoming purely ethereal and the rock went through him, slamming against the barrier.

[- 20 Astra]

Zaine groaned at the notification. It was obvious he couldn't keep using this form for long so he quickly reversed it.

He looked around and realized that this place was too narrow for a greatsword , throwing it onto the ground before doing the same with his jacket, knowing fully well that Sable would bitch to him about it if he ruined it in a fight.

He sighed,punching the barrier again, this time using charge to double his stats.

A few cracks appeared to the shock of the gangsters but it didn't break.

"Fuck!"

Zaine felt the temperature rise and looked back to see multiple fireballs heading for him.

He decided to briefly ignore the one with the barrier, seeing that the plan was obviously to keep him trapped and bombard him with attacks until he was exhausted.
