Capturing A Formal Demigod

This was his first time seeing an undead use an ability. He had most likely comprehended a part of Earth's law after he had died. 

"Don't worry, I will make it quick." The old manoeuvred extremely fast, but David noticed it wasn't the old man moving, the earth was shrinking to his favour. 

David's face flushed red as he continued to struggle. He immediately phased into his vampire form, having more than enough strength, he broke through the restriction and stabbed his finger into the head of the old man. 

The old man suddenly vanished, the earth between them expanded and David's claw struck at the air. 

"Don't play smart with me boy. Although I've spent more than a few centuries locked up in this place. I still know what a Phaser is." The old man scoffed. 

He had just said these words when he felt a strange surge of vibration from the earth. He raised him to glance at David, but there was only an afterimage.
