The air around suddenly grew cold. Countless ghostly green light points gathered from all directions, forming a massive skeletal shadow above the Knight's head.
The skeletal shadow opened its mouth, and a thick column of ghostly green light descended from the heavens, directly aiming at Duke's position.
Duke did not dodge.
He raised his hands, metallic yellow sand surged from his body, gathering above him to form a sturdy sand shield.
The light column struck the sand shield.
The two forces eroded each other, emitting a piercing hissing sound.
The surface of the sand shield continuously cracked, yet constantly replenished by new sand flows.
The grains of sand that broke were corroded by the death energy, turning ash gray and falling, but more metallic yellow sand surged from Duke's body, stubbornly resisting the impact of the light column.
The glow of the skeletal shadow began to fade, and the Knight's chanting voice began to tremble.
