Mickal was not so easily bested, and his own black tendril shot out to destroy Alex, stopping his lightening and moving to intercept him. But the Basilisk move before him and took the blows, crying out in pain and falling from the sky as its life force was sapped.

The shadow beast screamed a terrible inhuman sound and punched back, crushing Alex between its chest and fist, its punch being just as powerful, and yet cushioned by some unknown force.
