As for Tista, her all-out attack had failed to buy her a single second. The Hati was still pressuring her with his superior physical strength and the fear from her trauma slowed her movements.
To make matters worse, Valia was right.
The Red Demon was no longer capable of using body casting due to the fact that it brought her life forces closer. Even conjuring a cantrip caused her great pain and shortened the time she had left before the choice would be taken out of her hands.
If not for the Mouth of Menadion and Valia making up for it, Lith would have never allowed Tista to take part in the mission.
The Hati slashed high and low at the same time, forcing the demon to block. His hands shattered on impact but it was irrelevant since the damage was passed onto another warg that in turn was immediately healed by a troll.
