Now that the focus of the Manticore was fully on Astaroth, it set a strange ballet into motion. The monster chased Astaroth around, as he dipped and dodged as much as possible, delivering occasional strikes of his own.
With this method of fighting, Astaroth's aggro should never be able to stay first, but since he was defying the beast's supremacy, it stayed fully focused on him.
This would go on for five minutes, lasting the full transformation of Astaroth, with their overall damage being temporarily reduced. But they met the effect Phoenix wanted to attain.
Gulnur went back to full health slowly, with the help of his natural health regeneration and a minor spell from I'die. He also cast the same spell on Astaroth, to help with his own health regen.
With his passive skill already doing most of the heavy lifting, Astaroth dodging as many hits as he could, and blocking the rest with his small shield, his health never went into a dangerous range.
