The moment Masked Saber cursed out loudly, Michael was pulled out of his trance-like state.

He felt weak and his head felt like it was about to burst at any moment, but he could still crane his head to look up. Even if he couldn't move, Michael would have forced himself to move either way. Now was not the time to slack.

Michael's view was filled with the Red Dragon's blazing flames as they shot down the pit. He glanced at Masked Saber and Tiara for a moment before he stopped using Extraction on the ground beneath them.

Instead, he released a beam of golden light upward. 

The moment Michael changed his target, blood began to trickle out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. But that was the smallest problem Michael faced right now. His golden beam of extraction collided with the dragon flames a quarter of a second after Michael released it.
