Dude, you cast this in response to a monster about to be destroyed.

Which is a smart thing if your opponent's card has something that applies when your monster is destroyed, like Penetrate, Spectral Strike etc.

Not only did you save yourself from the effects fully activating, you also gave yourself a Damage-Free Token to use.
