The muscles of the mans legs suddenly gave way; allowing him to drop towards the ground. The goal was still a simple test of the waters, though now his focus shifted to the shield specifically. As the man moved towards the ground his hand began to glow a bright red for a brief moment. It's color vanishing as his skin made contact with the earth and sent a plume of super heated flames into the dirt. Leaving a perfect handprint hole atop the crust whilst the flames expanded within. They would travel through the stone, creating a veritable sea of melted stone as it focused itself beneath the woman. All at once the bright orange of the mans eyes vanished, replaced by a steely hazel colored gaze. A heavy panting coming from his mouth. Taking the same path the strange light source in his chest faded into obscurity and the blade in his hand suddenly fizzled away. However the tendrils of energy still coiled around his body, though their color had been lost as well. With a twitch of his muscles the man stood, rising as though he carried an immense weight upon his shoulders. As his legs straightened the mans throws his hands into the air, summoning the broiling mass of molten stone within the earth. The ground beneath the woman would glow a bright orange as the molten stone trudged towards her.
