Zia Gahrr, one of the elders who were escorting Sian, realized that someone was using their divine senses to observe them because he felt his hair stand on end.
As a level two paragon, Zia became alert as soon as he sensed that something was amiss. He then immediately channeled his attainment into his voice and yelled toward the sky beyond the valley. He then ascended into the sky, with his figure piercing the toxic mist as his hands radiated a spiritual light.
The next moment, he extended his hand in Severin's direction and curled his fingers into a claw. A piercing sound echoed as his hand tore the surrounding space into pieces, unleashing a torrent of elemental energy that dispelled the toxic mist.
The rest of the Gahrrs swiftly regrouped while battling the humanoid snake in the valley. The remaining paragon-level elders targeted the creature, inflicting severe injuries before returning to Sian and adopting a defensive posture. At the same time, they unleashed their divine senses to monitor the situation all around.
Zia's indiscriminate use of combat techniques left Severin with no choice but to make his move too. He raised his hand, and slashed the enormous hand with his sharp sword energy. There was no point in concealing his presence after his retaliation, so he slowly descending from above and positioned himself above the valley.
