Easton refrained himself from opening fire just so he could watch in detail the slow decline in their enemies health. A burn here, a bruise there, soon they would all fall to the relentless barrage of elemental attacks. He had every possible advantage, numbers, power, weapons, even the tactical position but this was no coincidence.
After hearing that a strange hunter claiming to be Bella's boyfriend Easton immediately knew it had to be Uriel and had an entire day to prepare his strategy. He could have captured them on the floating islands, but because he knew how powerful Bella was he decided it was best not to give her the chance to create a storm. Not just that, most people thought the incident with the island that exploded was caused by the earth element users, but being one of the most competent fire users Easton was told the truth only a few knew.
