"No!" cried the High Priest, his voice laced with horror.
The recent memory still haunted him. A mere breath from the unknown Stellar Behemoth had devoured a significant portion of his soul.
And even though the behemoth now in front of him was but a mere shadow, the dread it evoked in the High Priest was real.
That familiar, soul-draining pull started again.
Though it wasn't much, he knew it was just the beginning.
Recognizing that Ethan and Lana Mokos could harm him, and that he was powerless against them, doubt and regret began to gnaw at the High Priest's heart.
After much contemplation, he finally reached a decision --
Flee!
He had to escape from this place.
Continuing this battle would surely spell his demise.
And with the impending emergence of the Relic Battlefield, a place many deities would yearn for, the High Priest was unwilling to squander his energy in such a conflict.
