Hala's declaration was quickly followed by a surge of diabolic energy that spread across the landscape, causing Alex's group to take a step back as the energy sought to pervade their senses.
Though Alex, Ana, and Victoria remained unharmed as a result of the Blessings, Alejandro wasn't so lucky.
"Ugh." He groaned as his expression grew taut, his facial veins popping up as he sought to resist the evil rising within.
Alex glanced at him and tried to snap in a bid to open a portal back to Evernight… Unfortunately, it seemed things were not about to go his way as nothing happened.
"You are in the Abyss now, I hope you don't think that you can come and go as you please." Hala remarked with a slight hint of mockery, earning a glare from Alex.
Ignoring the jab, Alex decided on a different approach as he gave an order. "Victoria, take care of the Rey."
"... Yes, Master."
