Infini didn't feel any better than Ereth. He could've just left and have intercepted Ryoji in time, however, his shell was too weak. It would have eventually shattered, and he could not allow that; after all, his shell also was a mortal. Having rushed into action would also have left everyone to fall to their deaths, as the runic boulders that had only been deactivated by Infini's inverse-polarity field didn't allow levitation. It was a very long fall.

Fortunately, their descent was delicate and steady. Everyone would be able to see the chunks of rock falling and smashing onto the barrier, shattering like fragile pebbles. In one instance it seemed like those boulders would smash through as if the barrier was made of glass but it turned out sturdier than it looked. Infini's feet touched the ground and everyone's gravity was slowly returned, allowing them to gently float back to the ground or fly at will again, the barrier was still on though. Boulder after boulder fell onto them, the shattering rocks starting to accumulate around them, "We... art at our shell's limit..." Infini finally spoke, falling to one knee, a boulder trespassing the barrier as it momentarily faded away, but Infini growled, clenching his fists and fangs to make the barrier re-appear. "We dost not desire thy grief, mortals. If thou wishest to live another cycle, thou must flee!" he commanded, holding his left open palm up to use his remaining energy to make the protective field remain there; Infini then pushed his right claw forwards, a shockwave tearing through the debris that had built out of the field in front of them, a path created. "Flee, mortals!"
