The chains of Hortus descended from Heaven and tied up Icarus like he's some circus animal. Powered by the divine paths of Isadora and Sarah, they restrained him to the point he wasn't able to flare out any aura.
Varian covered himself in a flame of black and white and threw himself at Icarus.
Even if a divine ranker stood still without any defense, a celestial warrior wouldn't be able to kill them. If the latter punches the former and somehow breaks into their abnormally tough skin, then they'd encounter the divine aura flowing inside.
A few strands of divine aura would be more than enough to destabilize a celestial warrior.
It's like putting punching a power station, the current inside would wreck you should you be unlucky enough to break through the initial defense.
'No, no, how?! Arghhh!'
Icarus felt as if he was dozens of sizzling nails were driven into his body, all hammered in by a fist.
But he couldn't see, smell or even sense.
