The skull bouncing against the barrier was jarring - he felt it through ever fibre of his being. He wasn't sure how many more strikes he could take, but he could certainly take a couple more.
Carlos may be a good fighter, but part of the reason he'd survived so long was knowing when the attention was turning to you. Those black beams that followed the scream looked far more dangerous than the light ones earlier, and as much as the plan was working, he did not want to be caught in their path - nor did he want them to bounce off an impermeable barrier and hit someone else. He was shouting at Clarice to shut off the barrier, but in the mean time he had changed his barrier to normal to try and negate the effects of the beam around him and Clarice, while he made it mostly out of the way, not all the beams missed, two catching minor glancing blows, enough to make him scream out with pain.
