"If you're going to tell us to die, you might not want to give us a warning next time!" Halls said. At the moment, the tip of Grim's scythe was directly connected with his shield. Although it was a wide arc slash that was originally intended to be an AOE attack, Halls had intercepted the scythe before the skill could be completed. Essentially, he turned the AOE attack into just another basic attack!

Normally, it would have been impossible for him to accomplish such a task due to the limit of his agility versus his actual reaction time. In other words, even if he saw the attack coming, it would be useless if his body was unable to react in time to the attack.
