[@Doc Doctor] As soon he felt the barbarian grab his shield, he knew he'd made a mistake. But it could turn out in his favour. 

Once the barbarian started pulling his shield out of the way, he used his thumb and gently rubbed the sapphire ring on his index finger. Immediately the gem began to glow as the ice magic within gathered strength. A second later, his fist aimed at the barbarian in passing, the ring would fire a burst of extremely cold ice magics at his opponent. It would feel like the fluids in his flesh and blood were freezing if the frost blast connected. 

And as he ignited his magic ring, he raised his sword arm above his head and cut down diagonally to his left (Gonad's right).
