Miles away from the scene of Arthur's brutal stand-off/execution, a pair of Squad Six hunters stood inside a ball of spinning runes, ignoring the translucent cloud of teleporting monkeys that struck the sturdy barrier repeatedly, fighting to get inside.
By now, the archer had grown used to the fruitless chatter of the vengeful primates and placed the matter of her protection fully into the Warlock's hands.
Now, she kept her attention solely on the battle miles away.
Darius, on the other hand, was stuck in meditation, performing a ritual aimed at slowing his mana core's depletion:
Mana Circulation.
Waves of mana particles around him flowed into his pores and into his veins, replenishing the rapidly depleting reserves of his mana core.
With how rich the Time Dilation Chamber was in mana, he was able to absorb the mana that flowed freely around him, purifying it and allowing it to rest inside his core and fuel the barrier he'd created.
