((it's not infinite, if you were to use something from a different tree (like a sword or life magic) then it'd pass right through, but this thing is deffinantly from the death tree (don't back talk me about my own magic system) so it should be canceled out)) the shell heals his neck as he back flips out of the way, giving up on his pacifist tactic he starts to combine arcanums into varying and elaborate shades and tints as he dodges and weaves, healing close scrapes

((And I'm telling you, this thing has NOTHING to do with Death. Don't talk to me about my characters. The only connection between Nightmare and Death is that he's going to kill you. Also, being able to cancel out an element is an infinite defense.))
The shadowy figure seems to follow your every move, slicing and dicing, and you find that as your energy starts to run out, it becomes steadily stronger, it's influence on your mind becoming greater with every touch. You can feel your body attempting to physically forcing you to flee, fear filling you involuntarily each time the being touches you. You recognize that somehow, this being is connected to the girl, obviously. And each time it touches you, the girl's fear washes through you.
