Banishing Gate

Rare

Taru wraps his sticky legs around the monster's head and prevents it from seeing. He struggles to maintain his grip as his suckers stick and unstick repeatedly. I just need a few more seconds... The nightmarish Chimaera gnashes its teeth and manages to bite one of my Alter Ego's limbs. I gasp in pain as I feel Taru's tentacle sever. It will grow back, of course, but my stomach churns as I feel my companion's distress. That spurs my anger to take over. I trace Signs in the air to slow down time. A few stolen moments will help me banish the Tumult's aberration. That's the idea, at least. Around me, space-time glimmers like a mirror as everything plays out in slow motion. Movements and sounds. Taru squealing. The Chimaera snorting wildly. The grass slowly waving...

I summon the portal, which expands in reality like a disk bordered with purple lightning. From the other side of the tear, I can feel the pressure of the Tumult's currents, clamoring to rush through. But I won't let them. I draw a figure in the air and teleport Taru behind me, then perform a complex kata to propel the aberration through the opening. Time is starting to return to normal speed. It accelerates, freeing itself from its shackles. I strike the air with the flat of my hand to send a gust towards the Chimaera. I see the point of impact and violence of the shock, even though everything is still moving in slow motion, like wading through oil. I finally release my stranglehold on time as the creature is catapulted backwards from the explosion. I close the portal as quickly as I can, then fall to my knees, completely exhausted.
