The flurry of attacks knocked him around like he was a hacky sack, ending in launching him upwards. He fell back down with another thud. This was taking it out of him already. That stone layer was being pretty helpful here, but he'd go down eventually. Unless...maybe he could alter it to spike up instead of just be there. Worth a try. He began weaving, hoping that'd help him dodge some attacks, while trying to mentally reconfigure the layer.
