Willo and Orsen were following Kriff's every command. They would only strike when he ordered, and they would step back whenever unoccupied. Together, the young trio did well to consistently hold back three elementals, changing their strategy to defense rather than offense in response to confirming the boss's summoning limit.
On the other hand, while the young trio would occasionally destroy an elemental, the other three were on their own against at least two elementals. And Ayjen was up against three serpentine elementals trying to keep up with his incredible speed.
Yet Ayjen, Jash, and Nelphy were all standing their ground. They each had a different goal in mind, something Bolton and Zac had mentioned before the fight. Farming elemental cores!
