Shield

"Let's see how many attacks you can block," Sleepless Duke shouted. The other Night Ghosts began to cackle, gathering up a force of ghost air.
Han Sen had raised a single shield against an entire army. Sleepless Duke thought he must have a death wish.
When the three defenders had been actively fighting, the Dukes and Marquises were unable to gather up power. There was too much danger that their attacks would hit other Night Ghosts, so they intentionally weakened their attacks.
But now, the three of them had made themselves into an incredibly tempting target. The Night Ghosts gathered up all the power they had, then focused on a single part of the shield. Not even strong creatures could withstand the strength of what was coming.
Sleepless Duke had a plan. She needed to take Han Sen and Lone Bamboo as hostages. If she did that, she'd have an even easier time getting through Sky Palace's defenses.
