Dyon's eyes showed no signs of desire. Instead, he was filled with rage and unwillingness. Even after all this time, he still didn't have enough power.
This was the first time he truly couldn't see a way out of a situation. He always prided himself in always being able to think of a way out, always moving forward with only victory in mind. But, today he learned that when the power gap was appropriately large, larger than he could imagine, no amount of scheming or undying will to win would change anything.
Dyon tried to circulate his runic flames. When Evangeline was talking about him venting his lust on his fellow disciples, she had released the suppression on him, looking at him expectantly. This allowed him the chance to try and use his runic flames to purge the poison.
If it had been his aurora flames, Dyon would have had more confidence. Unfortunately, his control over his runic flames was far too poor.
