Just as she expected, most of the attention went toward Alion. Even Alion understood that fact. That's why he didn't follow in the same direction as the others.
To make sure that he didn't lead the other enemies back to Cylix and Novius, he ran in the opposite direction. Not only did he go in the opposite direction but he wasn't subtle about it either.
Instead of escaping, he was going straight toward the hall where the three Overlords had met him. It was as if he had only one simple goal in mind.
Along the way, he killed everyone who stood in his path. He still hadn't used his Elemental Energy to fight, only relying on his physical strength.
The enemies were clearly caught off guard by his sudden change and the ferocity with which he fought. As he got closer to the hall, he could hear the sounds of battle intensifying. It seemed that his plan was working, at least for now.
