"Kuh…!"
Biting his lip to the point it started to bleed, Valyr forced himself to remain composed under the might of Erika's aura, activating all of the status buffs under his disposal before casting a barrier around him.
Whoosh!
Feeling the pressure assaulting them slightly decrease all of a sudden, the other four looked at their surroundings for a bit before giving Valyr a brief look of gratitude.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Raising their stats as high as possible with their own buffs, the four went ahead and did the same thing as the young man, overlapping their barriers on top of his in order to lessen the pressure Erika's aura put on them.
"…Phew." Sensing that the pressure she gave off was now tolerable, Valyr took the opportunity to compare the current Erika with the powered-up Vessel of Envy he had Vaughn defeat back at Riekan's clan estate.
