493 I Guess I Still Have To Fight

The bright flash of light that followed was so powerful that no one could withstand its glare, not even Jake. He had already closed his eyes as a safety precaution and as per his plan he activated the Oracle Shield skill, which had so far never been used.

[Oracle Shield lvl1: An indestructible spherical force field enveloping the owner of the Oracle Device will be generated. Maximum range: 0m. Effect duration: 5 seconds. Aether Cost: 200M Aether pts per activation.]

A supple yet indestructible silver force field wrapped around his body like a second skin and he waited nervously for the blast to come. He almost expected to experience some form of pain, discomfort or at least be shaken a little, but the shield did its job.

When he opened his eyes again a short time later, the explosion was already over and the shockwave was already past him. He fretted for a second about his friends who had escaped in Emiwan's shuttle earlier, but no unpleasant notifications darkened his mood.
