[ The spears bouncing off the surface of the ward make Joshua huff out a soft breath in victory, but he doesn't let the walls fall. Not yet. Not until he sees what she plans to do next.
And it's a good thing that he doesn't, because more spears are forming. He doesn't need to tell Clive to stay inside the ward - Clive knows not to leave it. Instead, he grits his teeth, the Phoenix's tail feathers fluttering at his back as he strengthens the ward, because goodness knows it's going to need it.
The spears come down on it, and this time, they don't bounce. Joshua growls, steeling himself as the spears relentlessly press their attack on his shield. To his credit, it holds through the assault - but not without a significant crack forming in the barrier. ]
