Knowing what was coming, I made Excalibur create a shield again, this time I dug my heels into the ash and prepared myself. Death released the building power, a massive beam of his magic came at me. When the blast hit the shield, there was so much force behind the energy that I nearly tipped over but I was able to hold myself to the ground. The sparks of energy were leaking through the shield, scalding my clothes and burning my skin. The shield itself was slowly cracking under the pressure of the attack.
