The Mercury Guardian and Jornaga went on to fully clash with each other as Achilles observed them with one eye while he moved forward with Rose toward the barrier.
Combat at Pre-THE scales was something to study when you had the chance, and he wasn't about to waste this opportunity to see how beings at that level actually fought.
His body became wrapped in the Civilizational Authority of Dreams as he used his elevated power to forcefully bypass the rivers of ambient Alchemical authority flowing through this space.
The environmental defenses tried to transmute his existence into something easier to manage, but his Dream-enhanced resistance pushed through without difficulty as he rapidly neared the barrier.
The Mercury Guardian looked back at them during a brief pause in its exchange with Jornaga, and it roared out with genuine distaste.
"You approach what you don't understand! Turn back now and you may not perish!"
