A player, 26 July 2012
I try to kill Berseker with Battle action and my opponent reacts with Halls (delay). He plays Blessings' Battle action on his Berserker then. Will his Berseker die after this battle ends or maybe Blesssing will negate his death?
Halls of the Forgotten Reaction: After another player's Battle action targets your Berserker: Delay its effects on him until after this battle ends.
Blessings of the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang Battle: Choose your performing opposed Personality and discard this card: The Lords of Death grant him strength. Give him +1F for each dead Personality in all players' discard piles. Negate the next card effect that bows, destroys, or moves him.

Blessings will negate the death, if no other effect has triggered its negation prior.
