He Got To You Too!
On his way out, San picked up Evian's dead body, which was somehow standing on an unaffected piece of land and left with it. He ignored the palanquin and that was to be expected as those who carried it were gone, having retreated along with the rest of the Plebeian forces.
In fact, the palanquin itself was in a precarious situation itself as the ground blow it had parted but not enough to swallow up the palanquin which was balanced on the two sides of the crevice.
Once the Plebeians were gone, the Rune circles seemed to reverse and as they did, the ground was stitched back, closing up completely on those that might have fallen in, after which the Royal blue Astral lines faded.
The attack San had sent to Hal had mostly hit the side of the Castle but its force was still too strong for Hal to attempt resisting without the lesser devil form which was why his Skin was now crimson and Devil energy shrouded him.
