Defend 8

These plant creatures were as close to him as family, and hearing their pain echo in his mind troubled Emery heavily. The spirit attack aimed at his companions also made it nearly impossible for Emery to control the Fusion properly. His movements were heavily restrained, his coordination faltering under the relentless mental assault.

The sound of waves roared behind him as Shen Long charged with his spear, spiraling like a water torrent, striking Emery's back with a force that shook him to his core.

"URGHH!!!"

The initial strike was followed by two more, from left and right, each blow crushing hard against his plant armor, breaking through the reinforced layers. Emery could feel the impact reverberating through his body, and with Mo Yan maintaining his spirit attack, he found himself unable to dodge or counter effectively.
