Ignoring the sudden increase, I commanded the remaining mana outside to surge downward and surround the area of the ground that intersected my diagonal Tempo line.
The line was completely clear, with no flickering, as Tempo considered me too close to the ground for my current abilities to change anything.
Now, mere yards away from the ground, I brought my knees to my face and performed a somersault in the air so that I was now diagonally diving head-first toward the ground.
Following the tempo line that now led from my head toward a small portion of the coliseum ground that was highlighted in light blue, I reached my arms out to the ground.
*BANG*
As my fists hit the ground, they first passed through a thin layer of mana that I had set up, slowing significantly.
The mana particles had not been imbued with any abilities; pure mana particles are inherently resistant to the human touch and apply a slowing effect when grabbed.
