A Rain of Blood IV

By the way, Vanka's expression began to wither before her very eyes; Aurelia was sure she only needed two or three more strikes to end him, if even. He hadn't much time left. 

In his rage, Vanka pounced like a mad beast, driving his sword forward. Despite being able to perceive his movement, Aurelia simply lacked the reactionary ability to dodge. Instead, she did as Arthur had instructed. She chanted, her barrier using Morningstar as a conduit.

A thunderous shockwave that uprooted trees by the dozen, releasing a geyser of debris to explore the skies.
