Lucifer kept the gloves in his pocket before he approached Alicia. Carefully, he placed both his hands on the barrier of Alicia since his hands could decay anything, even energy barriers.
He had tested this once before when he himself was trapped in one such barrier. Decay not only weakened these barriers but it also destroyed most of them.
He placed his hands on the barrier, letting his decay work its magic.
The barrier kept decaying, but it was happening really slowly. On the other hand, Alicia had already fallen on the ground, still holding onto her head.
Even though it took a few seconds, the barrier had only weakened halfway. It was still going to take more time to destroy it like this.
Seeing Alicia's condition, Lucifer knew that she wasn't going to last long like this. Each second was important.
He kept his left palm on the barrier but retracted his right hand.
