Harry squirmed in pain, twisting his body sideways, but he hadn't had time to relax.
The adrenaline rush made him neglect the pain. He used Shadow Steps to run into the distance.
The beast let out a piercing sound and with it the rubble of stones started floating as if synchronizing with the voice.
Harry summoned barrier after barrier behind him—he lost count of how many he had cast. The number was beyond a hundred.
He knew that if he survived this attack, he would have a chance to escape.
He had almost burned all the essence he had on those barriers. He could feel his Shadow Step being undone. He didn't have enough energy left to keep using it.
With a thump, all the stones shot toward Harry, who was already hundreds of meters away.
Crack.
Crack.
The sound repeated one after another, indicating breaking barriers.
Harry was already out of the shadows, his essence depleted.
