Mekhaz charged past Hiraku even before the young Blaze died. He and his unit of Warlock Centaurs accelerated, their Soultraits used to the fullest.
Mekhaz was covered in his Living Armor, which evenly distributed the force of the impacting attacks. His Living Armor would have been a living hell if there hadn't been two Elementals, one Aqueous, and one Pyro Elemental, paying attention to the heat distribution of the incoming fireballs.
Even though three Blaze members had already been killed, it was a fact that the Blaze household nourished many Awakened with fire-attributed Soultraits. Therefore, it was no surprise when the defenders unleashed barrages of fireballs and other fire-based projectiles. Most attacks were either evaded, or blocked, but Mekhaz didn't bother evading anymore projectiles when he noticed that Energy Absorption, and Repel worked well with the Elementals' powers.
