Jake's mind immediately flashed back to the underhanded trick Syrbarun had used against him earlier to halt his pursuit.
"Don't tell me..." Jake muttered, his eyes widening abruptly, his head snapping towards a certain direction.
Syrbarun, in his naked Brain-Eater form, was still swimming placidly in his glass cage, while Saros was preparing to stoically face the wave of enemies blindly charging at him, oblivious to their imminent demise.
At first, Jake was relieved to find no trace of Hade, until he noticed that only Drakon was heading towards him. Epsilom had already split from his fellow disciple earlier to charge at the Oracle Guardian.
Sensing something amiss, Jake harrumphed in contempt. The black-silver vortex of his irises whirled as his Cosmic Sight activated, his gaze scanning the surroundings of Saros and his captive.
