Zelriane's Judan almost struck true. It hit his barrier while it shifted but still managed to punch through. It was forced off its original course and grazed Oz's left shoulder, drawing blood before slamming into the other side and losing the rest of its power.

	Brief dimples appeared around the barrier as Zelriane moved behind Oz. As the Atlas arm withdrew into the barrier, the dimples erupted outward in spikes of energy. If it didn't take Zelriane by surprise it would at least keep him from continuing his Ihan.
