When the burning beam of light shot out of Lothur's eyes, Larissa barely had time to move, only making a defensive motion with her arms.
She did this, causing a screen of green energy to appear in front of her, like a sheet of steel to protect her.
That was Larissa's Soul Bone ability, which could project shields around her body, with the power limited by her soul force.
Because of this, the moment the red light hit that thing, it didn't melt immediately but was only gradually eroded.
Larissa realized that even with her soul powers, she couldn't withstand Lothur's blow and moved to deflect it while keeping that shield upright.
Sss!
She moved a few inches before Lothur's laser beam went through the thing, missing her right shoulder only to 'graze' the skin on her upper right arm.
Larissa expressed pain as she fell to her left side, already manipulating her energies to undo her previous shield and strengthen her spiritual armor.
