Kzanol was not forced to lower his mental shield all at once.

Lynn dropped to the floor and rolled quickly out of the way before coming up with a strong mental shield.

He had managed to penetrate more than a foot of her mental shield before coming to a stop.

A strong mental shield immediately snapped into place as her face paled.

He began to smile, but his mental shield did not weaken.
