They paid attention as Celis spoke. "You all are afraid that we, with our lower cultivations, will run out of energy first, right? So, how about this: We will use slightly less Divine Energy than the rest, while the rest of you use slightly more. That way, we, the weak ones, can last longer."
"Ha!" Shonror felt like he heard a joke. "You are kidding, right? There is no way we will do such a thing. I would rather risk allowing this shield to disappear and me having to fare for myself than risk running out of energy to make up for your lack of reserves."
Sesahi and the others nodded. "Same here. It's exactly because we don't know how far we have to go that we will instead keep our reserves."
Celis sighed in response. "And what if someone holds back? Wouldn't that end in the same way? Besides, don't forget no one here can fly. What will you do? Swim inside the ocean?"
