He abruptly steadied himself, and the "Wind Dancer," which had been behind him, immediately spun around and moved in front of him, shielding him.
"Wind Dancer" was not a defensive-type Magic Spirit. But a six-star Magic Spirit was still tougher than a three-star Magic Spirit.

While he had been dragged along earlier, Atoro had been unable to adjust the "Wind Dancer's" position and could only take the blows passively. Now that his feet were firmly planted, he finally completed the adjustment.
