Aegis didn't even bother raising his arm to block the blow as the passive shield from his Abyssal Foundation skill activated around him.
The Crimson Wraith had emerged behind him again, its shadowy claws slicing forward, but the claws seemed to be repelled merely millimetres away from Aegis' surface by a black-translucent barrier formed on his body.
The blow from the green-grade Wraith was hardly enough to shake the shield, but before the Wraith even fully withdrew, both the blue-grade Slagbeast and Blood Flame Hound launched powerful strikes at the same time. The hound using its massive jaws, and the Slagbeast manipulating and launching a spear made of blood.
The passive shield absorbed the strike, then cracked, bursting in a sharp ripple that slammed all three backward with a snap of backlash energy.
The two blue-grade contracts were unharmed, but the Wraith was badly hurt.
