The dark, static filled veil surrounding the Velis Temple faded away. As the veil broke apart, the white glow of the temple crept forward, finally freed. All the possessed elves nearby scattered away, disappearing back into the depths of their fire and destruction torn town.
The light of the temple was holy in nature, creating a purified area from which no average demon could wander in. Not even demon influenced beings like the possessed could breach the holy boundary. In other words, it was a small safe zone.
Such an area would have damaged Aldrich, too, but as a designated 'champion' - the term given to the player for those blessed by the goddess to be heroes - he could access such areas with no issue.
