As Chitra absorbed the information imparted by her spirit guardian, the Divine butterfly held the horned mutant at bay.
Whenever the horned mutant launched an attack on Chitra, the Divine butterfly would emerge to thwart the assault. The energy blasts from the Divine butterfly were usually sufficient to repel the horned mutant's advances.
The ample energy within the underground hall enabled the Divine butterfly to execute energy attacks effortlessly, without strain. Without this abundance of energy, the Divine butterfly's presence in the real world would have been significantly shortened.
Had this not been the case, its real-world manifestation would have been greatly curtailed.
After a while, the horned mutant recognized the futility of its onslaught. As long as the Divine butterfly protected Chitra, the horned mutant realized it could not approach her. Consequently, it altered its course of action and commenced a direct assault on the spirit guardian.
