The last time this golem assumed that weird posture, it discharged a disruptive shockwave that knocked everyone back, and then sprung into an unavoidable speeding rocket. Jack was oblivious of its move the first time, but he was not going to be caught off guard for the second time. The second the golem squatted down, Jack channeled his concentration to form a spell rune, while warning the others, "move back!" As predicted, the disruptive shockwave soon appeared. It knocked Jack two steps back as he was especially closed to the monster. His concentration was broken by the shockwave, but his gloves helped to maintain the spell rune from dissolving. He quickly resumed his spell channeling. If he didn't remember wrong, the last time it took the golem roughly one second before it started springing. After the fight with Scarface, he had learned the importance of fast casting, he had doubled down on his training. He had mostly managed to cast his Barrier spell in around one second or a little slightly over one second. But again, when one was in a real fight, the pressure was completely different from practicing inside a safe room. Fortunately, he had started forming the rune earlier. The rune was completed as the golem shot forward at him. A sphere of light enveloped his body just as the large golem slammed into it. The light bubble shattered by that one hit, but Jack suffered no damage. The impact still threw him back several steps though.
