The force of Rel's charge slammed his biceps between the necks of Vester and Balwark. As he propelled himself downwards, he aimed to crush both into the ground.
However, Vester, with a serpentine slither, managed to escape Rel's grasp, sliding right under his arm.
SLAM!
The blood pool splashed upwards, momentarily obscuring Vester's vision as he slithered away as quickly as possible.
To his surprise, half of Balwark's face had sustained severe damage. Half of his transformed face was gone, but the other half remained intact.
Balwark had managed to partially evade the attack. Using the blood pool to his advantage, he teleported towards the edge of the elemental zone barrier.
The damage, however, had a devastating side effect.
Balwark was neutralized due to the effects of Rel's aura.
Vester looked over at Balwark, whose body shook and twitched uncontrollably.
