This went on for several minutes and two amazing phenomena occurred. Outside Xasha's body, the Happy Holocaust sensed danger and began retreating to the far corners of the room. But Xasha's breath art allowed him to pull energy from thousands of miles around.
It became a tug of war as Xasha had absorbed a 3rd of the flames already. The ego that the flame had developed over the millions of years was in danger of being eradicated. The tug of war became more violent as the ego attacked Xasha relentlessly but those attacks were easily dissipated by his avatar and absorbed.
The Happy Holocaust saw that it was losing most of its mass and power and panicked further. It no longer bothered about Xasha and was doing its absolute best to leave the room. However, there was no escape, if out couldn't escape for millions of years before, what would change now that it's lost almost half its power.
