The entire team was already pushing themselves as physically and mentally hard as they possibly could against Idore. But seeing how effortlessly the Grand Magus was able to brutally injure, and possibly kill, their main line of defense in Tilion, the horrific reality of the situation set in. They knew with absolute certainty that they had to push even harder than before, or they would all die on this floating fortress.
They readied themselves, launching a relentless onslaught of desperate attacks. The Pagna warriors and their allies struck from all conceivable angles, throwing everything they had into the sky. Yet, remaining as calm and arrogant as ever, Idore simply hovered in the air. He didn't even bother to raise a physical shield. He just allowed his passive spatial magic to work, causing their devastating strikes to be misguided, seamlessly absorbing into invisible portals and spitting out harmlessly into different areas of the battlefield.
