well hell be under the effect of many, damage over times that dissolve evil, blasts of light, beams..fighting a guy whos challenged Evil his life, a master paladin of the order who will be running around indestructable through most of it, he can heal himself also so even if his shield disapeared, Nightmare would have to kill him fast which would be difficult with his powerful enchanted armour and his massive hammer, the cooldown i think is very quick for the shield so he could have it up in not long, Paladins also have a large variety of attacks to stun and dissorintate, he could have a massive area of holy area around him burning any evil that comes in. If i remember he can also create holy chains but this may be the priests.
I don't know much about Uther, but Nightmare is a handful. He drains life energy and souls just by being nearby, and can use that energy to recharge his own. He's also the embodiment of Soul Edge, and it's been said Soulcalibur is the only thing that can truly destroy Soul Edge.

thats likely so but the amount of shields Uther has plus his divine shield would make him immune to all that he can do, if he cannot truly be destroyed then he will have to be defeated. Smashed beyond all reason to excist perhaps, have his body blasted with buckets of holy magic wrapped up in the fact Uther has so many powers and shocks to stop Nightmare, i just cant see how he will win.
Okay, one thing about NM is his inexhaustibly stamina, the guy literally runs thru continents like Asia, slaying any army that dares to challenge him, without stopping. Then there is his durability, the guy can survive magma, as it has literally come out of his own body, and his arm(the big one) can block massive swords from superhuman people. He is pretty fast for the sword that he uses as well, which is as tall as him(5'6"). The sword he uses is called Soul Edge, it is an immensely powerful evil blade that possesses its wielder, and turns them into a being like NM. In other words, it is the sword that is using the body. The sword is capable of corrupting many who come in contact with it.
as i said, what can he possibly do? Uthers behind an invulerable shield, his hammer charged with holy energy which is usually the bane of unholy beings, on an incredible level, Nightmare will not be able to outlast Uther, eventually Nightmare will fall beaten and crushed, then will lose through incapacitation.
uther cannot be touched behind a divine bubble and has magic of his own and abilities to knock Nightmare down. Shocks and holy stuns
Uther is not outlasting someone with the stamina of NM. Also, when he fought Kilik, Xiangua, and Maxi, Xiangua was using Soul Calibur, a powerful holy weapon made to fight Soul Edge, and Kilik was using Kali Yuga, a weapon made from Soul Calibur, and tho they defeated him, they could not kill him.
As for the shield, has his shield ever withstood a blast like this?
Oh, and this is a NM who not only doesn't even have a host, but doesn't even have Soul Edge. In other words, MUCH weaker than his prime.
His shield nor any paladins shield is ever broken and its a rule thats its indestructable no matter who your facing, if its hit with a force or attack, it doesnt weaken, like kains shield, only ofcourse this one does not reflect but it makes the user invulerable to all harm for a duration. The shield is supposedly powered by a the God they worship, although wether the being is actually a true God or not is unlikely, its probably a Titan or Elune since she is quite vast unless Darth knows who they worship and where the power is from.
can you show me Nightmare surviving many high powered beams of magic energy? Magic energy that covers his body?
Uther is basically a Highlord Bolovar times hundred.. His skills in combat are vast.. His powers against demons, undead and unholy entities is immense.. His hammer is made out of adamantium, blessed for battles against unholy entities.. His gloves too, are made of a magical matter and aids him in the battle against the unholy, just like his mace..
The fact that Nightmare battled holy factors before, is nothing compared to Uther.. Who can draw immense amounts of light and focus them as a powerful, holy attack that will strike anyone that defy the light.. He remain invournable trough majort parts of any battle and his endurance is enormous.. Even though Nightmare goes for Uther during the time that he isnt invournable, its not certain that he will bring him down before he can go invournable again..
