The foothold Lucas used acted like a spring. The force field behind him had not been reversed. Instead, he had created another one whose repulsion acted the other way around, even using the conflicting relationship with the first forcefield raised for defense to resist the tornado of fine wind blade to create the propulsion for his flight. So, when he reappeared, the stagnant water element Devourer didn't see him coming. No one saw him coming, and no one reacted, not until he had his hand speared through her stomach, and froze her, much like Frose, the female Garsan he had not thought about for decades until seeing the female Garsan with white hair like his a moment ago.
