Everything inside the black pillar had its energy sucked dry, be it Jormun, his magical equipment, or the Golden Griffon itself. Hystar screamed in pain as Chaos coursed his stone body, further weakening the cloaking devices and hastening the Eyes' scan.
"What are you doing?" Jormun had to jump back and use Scalesong to restore his withered legs that had been caught by the pillar. "If you turn into an Eldritch you will die, leaving behind a monster!"
"You are wrong, big brother." Lith focused on Solus' stone ring, needing sheer willpower to stop the Chaos from reaching it and the pillar from fully forming. "I'm already dead and so are you.
"The only difference between us is that you still don't know it."
Lith could feel the black sphere of the Abomination closing in to the star of the Divine Beast that held the red human life force at its inside. The tethers between them were breaking up one at a time, yet there was still hope.
