Feris stood frozen, his heart racing as his gaze darted between the lifeless bodies of Mirra and Vorn. Both elders—mighty, revered 8-star powerhouses—now lay motionless on the battlefield. Normally, their ability to heal with Nether Devour would have revived them in seconds, but not this time.
The skill that should have been their lifeline had failed. Panic clawed at Feris's mind as the horrifying realization sank in: something was very, very wrong.
His breath quickened, and he instinctively turned toward Velkar, hoping his fellow elder had a plan, a way out of this nightmare. "What do we do?" Feris asked, his voice trembling, betraying the fear he desperately tried to hide. But when his eyes finally landed on the spot where Velkar had been… it was empty.
Velkar was gone.
