The barrier Evan created using shadow shroud and shadow wings was instantly destroyed by the golden lightning.
He was still using temporal velocity so when his barrier was destroyed, he watched in slow motion how the golden lightning arc moved towards him bringing a sense of despair with it.
Even before the golden lightning struck him, Evan could smell the death.
He wanted to move away and dodge the lightning arc, but found his body is too weak after using shadow energy and he does not have enough strength to dodge it.
'Damn, I never thought I will die like this' Evan thought just before the lightning struck him and closed his eyes.
Just as he closed his eyes, the golden lightning struck him and he felt a numbing sensation all over his body.
Evan felt all the clothes he was wearing disappeared just like how his shadow energy disappeared when it came into contact with the golden lightning.
