Squads of seven Chroniclers Warped at a safe distance from the Engine and conjured the anti-Guardian spell, Silverwing's Annihilation.
Solus cursed and in answer to her distress, long stone tubes erupted from the surface of the Engine, bolting at the elves. They were forced to break formation and Blink away, but it wasn't that simple.
The Ears followed the flow of mana to the exit point before the Eyes could see it and those who failed to Blink again quickly were captured by the tubes. Just like the first Chronicler, the Engine had no reason to kill them.
They were trapped inside the tower's space-compressing arrays and then into one of the Bleed's gene tanks along with their weapons. Chronicler's standard equipment was made of living Yggdrasill wood which meant more food for Solus.
Even better, the World Tree suffered the pain they received as feedback from both the imprisoned elves and branches.
