The timing of Counterattack and Beowulf's skill are different. Beowulf's skill triggers directly after declaring his attack, while Counterattack activates only after the attack has occured. Nullifying the attack with Battle Aura Circle removes the chance for Counterattack to trigger.

In any case, I've emailed Bushi about this before and their answer is No, attacks that have been nullified do not trigger Counterattack. Otherwise I would have had a much easier time during my Regionals and Continentals, and my Ark would have killed a lot more Inferno Armor Dragons (man I hate that guy).

Best to rely on Battle Spirit Infusion, Demon Slay Barrier, and Battle Spirit Unite to get Ark to survive attacks and retaliate with his Counterattack.
