The Grand Abomination spat, over and over, raining a hailstorm of teeth across the doorway. Several constructs fell to misaimed shots, but clearly the maddened angel couldn’t have cared less. Perhaps he wasn’t even aware. Other shots pinged off the solid bone of Death’s abode, but they left deep gouges and spreading pockets of dry rot behind.
