Let's Die Together

When she had begun drawing the seals, Mira's greatest fear had been how much time she had. 

Mira had been scared she would be caught up to before she could complete her seal, but it seems she had underestimated the guards assigned to protect her because though they did die, something she could not blame them for considering they were ambushed and outnumbered, she found herself with a more than a minute to activate her seal before the first of her enemies arrived and began bombarding her with attacks. 

For the first few minutes that the circular 1-meter wide shield was being bombarded with attacks as her opponent tried to take it down, Mira had been curled on the ground and couldn't help but cry. 

Outside the barrier, everyone there was a general-level cultivator, an expert who could single-handedly squash her.
