Bab 182: Against the Calamity (1)

From the corner of his eyes, Hex noticed a bright glimmering light shoot toward him. He tried to evade but the star-like light adjusted its trajectory. Its speed surpassed Hex's greatly, hitting him square in the chest.

'Wait. What the hell?'

The light shattered into specks and spread rapidly around him, encasing him in an oval transparent nebula. Flabbergasted, he looked at the glittering layer, unsure how to interpret it. He felt no different than before. 

"Woah!"

"Ah!"

"What is this?!"

Hex turned his gaze to his surroundings, hearing the various shouts and cries. He noticed similar layers around the others. 

"That is the Nebula Shield, the Stellar Shield's Technique," Hex heard Marzo shout. "The shield is capable of blocking an attack at the Refined stage. Try to maintain it as long as you can."

'There are at least thirty of us here. He sure is amazing.'
