The Vipers have faith in their paragons and will not believe otherwise unless they see the deaths of their paragons with their own eyes. So Soverick's attempt to besmirch their paragons with lies only spurred them on. They became emboldened and they fought to wipe out the disrespect on their paragons.
The battle raged harder than ever before. The battle sage monkeys were winning before but now they are winning faster. The morale of the staunch believers amongst the Vipers might have increased but it only made them more reckless. The Vipers were never an army so they can't coordinate amongst themselves to fully utilize their numbers. Their defeat is inevitable now that their paragons are gone while the commanders of the battle sage monkeys remain.
Soverick soon arrived at the location of the flag of the Vipers. He flew above the trio and observed their work.
"So you killed 7 paragons? That must have been very cool." Ghaster said to him.
