Dante couldn't hear anything.
The ringing in his ears was too loud—it blocked all the surrounding noises.
At this moment, all he could feel was pain.
His brain worked relentlessly to remember what happened, and then he looked at his back.
His back was still resting against the silver barrier, which meant it was strong enough to save him and stay standing.
Unlike the Mana Barrier, the Ether Barrier could stay manifested for a long time without needing Dante to keep providing it with Silver Ether.
Unfortunately, the other barriers couldn't save him entirely. They all shattered from the explosions.
Dante was tired, his back hurt him so much, some ribs were broken, his breath was ragged, and he could barely feel his arms and legs.
Dante looked at his right arm. He couldn't see his cloak for some reason, and the centipede wasn't in shield form and refused to listen to him. No, it seemed as if it were unable to listen to him.
