Just as she was about to fall into absolute despair, Aria shook her head and stopped herself.
"He's strong, yes, but I should be confident in myself too… I shouldn't just let my ass get handed to him like that without fighting back."
Her fists clenched, her knuckles turning pale. The air trembled faintly as she drew in mana and forced her mind to focus.
"Gravity Dome."
In an instant, an invisible field of crushing force expanded around her, dense, heavy, almost suffocating. The air warped faintly as if space itself refused to exist properly within it. Any external force that tried to reach her would be countered with an equal and opposite pull. Still, she knew the limit. Her control over this level of compression was far from perfect. But it didn't matter. Not now.
She pointed her hand toward Bruce.
"Gravity Beams!"
PEW! PEW! PEW!
