The disheveled Ascendant Verana who had lost close to eighty percent of his Core Aura slapped back dozens of massive tentacles with a wheel of light conjured from deep within his Core, nothing else would work here and squeeze through their grasping hold, he had to shrink his body or he would not have passed this lock of flesh, this was not the closest shave with death he had experienced in this place.
His mind, as if seeking to escape the hell they had entered, returned to the moment they entered into this hell.
