A dark, repulsive aura overwhelmed the air as Layland's Demonic Mana burst out uncontrollably. Teanosvera immediately let go of Phoebesius, rushed to Mark's side and secured him. Elegast, finding himself beaten by Teanosvera, clicked his tongue bitterly. He wanted to snatch Mark from Teanosvera but Phoebesius stopped him.

In the end, the Phoenix protectively stood before the Light Elf and waited until Layland finished his metamorphosis.
