Aware if the chakra that rushed forth, the priestess stretched her arm out before her, holding her palm up in a stop gesture. A layer of ice cold energy formed in front of her, glowing a faint blue.

Having noted the bits of earth flying towards her, she altered the constitution of the energy before her and wrapped it around herself before allowing it to separate slightly into beams, which spun around her at high speed. She moved forwards, weaving between the chunks of rock as best she could. What she didn't dodge was torn to shreds.

As she fully avoided the projectiles the shield dispersed outwards, each beam curving outwards from her form, some striking ground, others going left or right, while the last few went upwards, before curving back around and striking at Umichi from the sides and above upon all angles except forwards and backwards.

Shūrei's earlier beams were successfully blocked by the woman's efforts. She walked towards Umichi now. Her pace slow. Her expression was focused, but worried--though not for herself.
