Despite the fatigue of recent combat, you manage to erect a defensive wall around your mind which protects you from the Vordak’s attack. At first their destructive energy is absorbed by this barrier; then it is transformed and cast back at them with twice its original intensity.

The Vordaks reel under the impact of your psychic retaliation. Before they can fully recover, you run at them and launch yourself into hand-to-hand combat.
