Aldrich passed through the majority of the hoard of enslaved pirates but unfortunately they just kept coming so he summoned his great sword from his crest cleared them up.
He would have liked to use more sophisticated moves but he still couldn't control his body properly so he had to limit himself to simple movements.
Abruptly Aldrich used the [Aurora veil], and soon after he felt that he was struck with a mild headache. He had managed to react and block the [Psychic Lash].
This was an invisible attack that targeted the mind directly, this attack almost killed him not long ago. He was able to sense it and reacted in time.
The [Aurora veil] did not only block physical attacks. However it didn't block the two tentacles that stabbed at his heart and head respectively.
Aldrich couldn't control the Aurora with him properly, so he couldn't have the skills activated all the time. This also helped lower his consumption of Ether and Aurora.
