Stone spikes rained down like a torrential storm against the Protect barrier, producing dense, muffled impacts.
Shattered rocks scattered in all directions, while dust filled the air.
Under the relentless bombardment of the stone spikes, the Protect barrier shook violently. The golden light on its surface flickered continuously, but it ultimately did not shatter.

The sound waves of Snarl were scattered by the Aura Sphere,
