The moment Elder Lawrence revealed his true form, Aron launched an immediate attack against him. At this point, Anna and Nick were still processing what was happening.
Elder Lawrence, however, remained completely composed in the face of Aron's assault. After all, he had anticipated the consequences of his actions long before this moment. He easily dodged Aron's attack and conjured a thick black mist using the powers of darkness, which then enveloped Aron from all sides.
Aron had not expected Elder Lawrence to wield Elder Howard's abilities. But upon witnessing this scene, he realized that Elder Howard must have been completely consumed by Elder Lawrence.
"You actually managed to devour Elder Howard of the Night Blades?! How on earth did you pull that off?! Weren't you severely weakened before?!" Aron shouted while trying to fend off the dark forces.
