The sudden turn of events would have reversed the trap, turning Lith into the prey if he hadn't positioned himself in front of another junction, just to be safe. The moment he understood he was on the losing side of the battle, Lith gave his Death Zone one last push and rolled around a corner to safety.
'What the heck? They were both tier four spells, but I'm the one with a blue core. How could I possibly lose the confrontation?' Lith's question was rhetorical, since the bestiary provided no answers to that impossible situation.
Yet Solus knew better.
'His cyan core is indeed weaker. The problem lies in the support the green core inside his eyes provide.'
'If a green core could do that much, together we would be invincible!' Lith griped.
