The fickle platforms

Taking into consideration the intensity of the auras that enveloped the platforms around them, Liam quickly sussed out a preliminary path for them. He was not sure if this was going to work but it was something to start with.

The group immediately prepared to move. No one doubted Liam's judgment and seconds could mean the difference between life and death here.

However, when the first person tried to jump across the platforms, something unexpected happened. Madan was sent right back, repelled by some kind of invisible barrier.

"No. That's not a barrier." Liam reached his hand out, feeling the palpable energy in his hand. It was very close to something he was familiar with and he instantly knew what to do. "This should be some sort of energy field. To cross, we have to use our dao fields."
