Chapter 169
**[Sword Barrier]**
**[Invincibility While Active]**
The Sword Barrier surrounds the user in starlight, providing temporary invincibility and can be used as an area-wide attack when deployed. Without releasing it, the user can maintain limited resistance while moving within the shield’s protection.
The starlight’s shield remains around the body for about 3 seconds—similar in mechanics to other classes' temporary invincibility skills.
Three seconds is more than enough.
*Boom-boom-boom!*
*Shwoooosh!*
Surrounded by starlight, I surged forward through the fierce gale of miasma threatening to erase everything before me.
*Roaaaar!*
The miasma breath attack covering the entire front didn’t stop after a single burst. Had I chosen a careless backward dodge, I’d have been swept up by the lingering storm as soon as my invincibility wore off.
Counting the seconds within the shield’s protection, I closed in on the golem, striking its body as I moved.
One second, two seconds, 2.5 seconds, 2.8 seconds.
