Bab 370: Foresight, Planning, and Ambition

Rhachis Ancestor Dawn kept watch on Laila's state, ready to act at a moment's notice. Suddenly, he noticed the reality around Laila warp before the humanoid-serpent entered her body, struggling itself to condense within the small 'frame.'

"Aah!" Laila screamed in pain, rolling on the floor as numerous soul tendrils exited her, thrashing around. They attacked in all sorts of ingenious ways, methods unthinkable by one person. Each action contained tremendous insight, creating new means even during the course of a motion.

Rhachis Ancestor Dawn readily activated the Tier 5 Relic, unleashing blinding light, first creating a dome to contain all the damage. The thrashing of the soul tendrils tried to destroy the house but were repelled by the light coating the walls.
