Replicus, while using [Sorcery of Essence] had long sensed the massive purple core in the Stolen Angel's body. It didn't perturb him that the core had nearly eighty million units of mana, but the fact that an organism with a Tier could produce Aura did make him question just how exactly Skullius had put this thing together.
Beasts couldn't produce Aura, after all. The closest Replicus had come to meeting such a contradiction, was Jerthrax, a beast who utilised the human, Sif and Giant power system.
This was insignificant for now, though.
What mattered was that Skullius was ramping up his attack strategy, choosing to start with Aura rather than Nitros for some reason.
