Evan could see the Heavenly Celestial's power had reached Transcendence, just shy of the 'True Danger Zone.'
No one could get close, however, as Fluviel, Theron, and Lorethi combined forces to block any approach.
Evan slowed slightly, then kicked off the ground with full momentum, lifting Conroe off the ground. He activated three body-strengthening skills and spells in that instant, while also telling Eliza to buff him with telepathy.
"Body Strengthening Magic. Paladin. Adamantine Might."
Adding another skill to clear the nuisances out of the way, he called forth:
"Hydra!"
Nine crimson gold serpentine dragons burst from the ground behind Evan, shocking the FCDs who'd never seen Evan use this skill before!
The unexpected reveal of a new skill at this juncture proved pivotal as they didn't know what it did, and in the split second they spent theorizing on its possible effect, the serpentine dragons had already moved.
