Erik was surprised by how they made that attack work. However, it also worked only because of Vex's weapon.
That must have been a brain crystal sword, and Erik was pretty sure it had a power that allowed the sword to turn insanely sharp, to the point it could bypass his Force Bastion's armor.
At the same time, Vex thought they could really kill this monster. What he didn't know, though, was that Erik had a power no one knew about, simply because a lot of time passed since he was last injured, and even if he was, it wasn't usually easy to see its effects.
Since he was invisible, the three didn't notice that Erik's wound immediately closed itself. Though the younger man lost concentration for a second and his invisibility turned off.
Yet in his mind only retaliation thoughts swirled, and since he had the chance now, he would not let that slide. Erik supercharged his Lightning Lord brain crystal power.
