When Bolin reflected on what had just happened, he couldn't help but feel both a sense of fear and joy. When he had been assaulted by those violet-gold chains, he had immediately known that the situation was extremely grim. The chains were attacking with techniques that were just as profound as him, and as soon as all six had appeared he had begun to feel a sense of despair. The difference between them was just too great! Five chains alone probably would've done him in fairly quickly. Six chains had completely broken through his defensive lines.
When his body had been lashed apart, he had transformed into his invulnerable form and attempted to keep himself alive. He wasn't willing to give up until the very last moment, but as those chains had continued to lash away at him and his energies were completely annihilated, he began to feel a mixture of total despair as well as deep resentment in his heart!
