Hovarc, for lack of a better word, was ruined. He had all of his knees broken. The bones were sticking out of the flesh, making one cringe just by looking at them. He was covered in blood. One might think he had just taken a bath with blood. Gashes decorated his body. One would wonder how he managed to survive. Hovarc was rendered useless.
It was Haletha's first time seeing one of the Nine Mentors suffer from such an injury. She was quite taken aback by the scene since she didn't think Layland would be this capable. She could do the same to Hovarc, but she was sure she wouldn't do it as quickly as Layland did. She even had to exert almost all of her power, which Layland didn't.
