At the moment of impact, a huge dust explosion occurred, and the power dissipated largely in Matt's hands.
He kept his hand upright despite knowing that a powerful blow could strike him in seconds.
A small barrier had been erected between his hand and the power, preventing it from touching him, but that barrier slowly began to break down as more and more power hit him.
But Matt did not move, shielding Alice with his body. He gritted his teeth hard, but a huge explosion occurred before him just then.
The explosion mixed with the pile of dust in the surrounding area, and Matt was pushed back ferociously to slam into the wall behind him. The same explosion, and Matt's body, ended up blowing a hole in that huge wall, and Matt shot out of the cave/mountain in a huge smokescreen.
Just then, Matt moved his hand sharply to the right, and the power he was holding back slammed into the ground behind him.
