As the explosive energy dissipated, a pale green spherical barrier lit up at the center of the blast!
It was Protect! The instant Dragon Pulse left its body, Altaria was suddenly surrounded by that familiar pale green energy barrier!
The barrier formed a perfect sphere, tightly enveloping Altaria's entire body!
