As Kent kicks Vernon off the sword, he summons a floating wall of ash behind him. This wall blocks a few of the shots, but one gets through and hits Vernon in the right calf. Once Kent stops firing, the ash from the wall rushes to Vernon's wounds, packing them and stopping the bleeding. Vernon seems to squirm in pain at this, but he gets back up. The then takes to the sky again, and unloads three more slugs into him. Vernon then puts distance between them before turning his shotguns into a sniper rifle. He takes aim.
