Brian's blade draws ever closer to Ray's neck as he watches it approach, instead of defending himself, he removes his time shell as he waits patiently.

Observing from a separate realm both Chaos and Veris watch the fight, their perceptive speed makes the sword look like it is moving at a snail's pace. Veris's eyes narrow and then widen quickly, "Why isn't he defending himself?!"
"Can't you see into the minds of all?" Chaos taunts.
"You know as well as I do that his mind has been shut off to me for a while." Veris responds, "Now, what is he plotting?"
"That is obvious!" Chaos laughs, "As we know from the mind of his little friends, they have caught on to the truth of this war. And now he wishes to see what our goal is; this war, or him."
"How idiotic!" Veris chuckles, "Well then, we do nothing and he will save himself regardless, how could he believe such a plan would work?"
