If Salvos and Salvin were allowed to go all out in killing the normal Vipers, then they would have created more paragons that they can't fight. Soverick would be the one to deal with more paragons on his hands. So rather than take on more problems, Soverick sent them here where their damage output will be put to better use. 

Ghaster accompanied them to provide quick help or response since he is faster than the two of them. But he is not happy about it. Salvin on the other is quite happy about the arrangement. Soverick claimed that they will have their use here so he is eager to let loose. 

The three of them made it here without any problems. They have emperor crowns and they have very strong divine abilities. The army of Vipers couldn't stop them. It was until they got here that they encountered a problem. This problem made them stop in their tracks. They are waiting for Salvin to create more and more of his phantom weapons so that they can begin their attack. He couldn't create them before or he will draw attention to himself. The sky above them became filled with thousands of phantom weapons as they waited.

"Let's start now. The sooner we can begin the better. I can always create more phantom weapons." Salvin said.

Salvos spoke, "So we go according to the plan. I attack and Salvin attacks in the intervals in between my attacks. Ghaster will watch our surroundings and make sure that we are not ambushed."

Ghaster kicked the ground in frustration but he agreed. "I'll do my job. It is boring but I'll do it."

Salvos nodded then he said, "Make sure to stand back. I am about to start."

The other two got behind him as he faced the contingent of Vipers surrounding the flag. There are about 100,000 vipers guarding the flag and there are two paragons with them. One of the paragons is the problem that made them stop. With her here, they can't go any further.

The problematic paragon stood in front of the Vipers and directly opposite Salvos. She watched as Salvos's eyelids began to lift, then the world before her disappeared. She stepped back and raised her four arms instinctively. 

Fire swarmed the space between them. It overwhelmed the world and threatened to drown out all the Vipers but it stopped right in front of the paragon. A barrier suddenly appeared in front of her. It protected the paragon and all the vipers behind her. The barrier formed a separation that the fire couldn't breach. It is as thick as a wall and transparent like glass. 

The barrier was already there before the attack. It was what stopped the three furries from going any further. But she had to ensure that it was still there when that attack hit. Her quick reaction ensured that she was ready to reinforce the barrier because its initial strength is definitely not enough to stop the bombardment of fire. 

"This is impressive." She observed from her position behind the barrier.

She has never seen anything like it. The fire attacked every point of the barrier. The barrier is so wide that it separates the portion of the arena from the rest but the attack could get to the majority of it. All she can see beyond the barrier is fire. It caused her to marvel.I think you should take a look at

Her awe turned into slight fear when her barrier began to crack. It was being pressured from most of its surface and the stress is getting too much for it.

"I need more power." She shouted to the immortal link through their mind link.

The immortal link is the other paragon with her. He is standing some distance behind her but she doesn't dare to take her attention away from the struggle she is facing to speak with him. So she shouted telepathically.

"I know." The immortal link answered without taking his head out of his hands. "We are at our limit. I'll try my best though. Doltosi and Xenden will have to experience some pain for a while."

They are at their limit of resources. It is taking all they have to hold Soverick back from killing more paragons. The fight at the battlefront is reducing their resources fast and Salvos' attack is demanding more of what they don't have. So the immortal link withdrew some threads from the two brutes to reinforce the defense paragon. 

The immortal link cursed in agitation, "That cursed champion. He is too strong."

The defense paragon said through her intense focus, "I know right? I have always wanted to see how strong our child of the plane was for myself. Now I am not so sure that is a good idea."

The immortal link winced when it noticed that Soverick's blade had cut a large groove into the white-scaled brute. He muttered in pity, "Poor Xenden."

Then he winced when his concentration almost slipped because of mental fatigue. "Poor me." He said in pity as pain rankled his mind.

The defense of the two brutes was weakened a little but even that is enough for the champion of the furries to start to injure them again. He is like the death reaper constantly knocking at the door and looking for any weakness to break into the house. A small crack in the wall can be quickly expanded and turned into a new door if care is not taken. 

If a crack appears, it is sure that the champion of the furries will take advantage of it. That much is certain. He will always find it and use it. It is the immortal link's job to shift the position of the cracks so that Soverick will have to start all over again with taking advantage of the cracks. 

The immortal link is doing a fantastic job of it but the champion is too fast. He will find the new crack and switch to it without missing a beat. This means the immortal link has to switch the threads around as fast as possible to keep up with Soverick. All the switching is causing his head to hurt.
