On top of that, thanks to the Sage Staff's power core taking care of the fine control of the effects of gravity magic, all the caster had to do was to point and shoot.
When Quaron tried to get out of the area of effect of Distorted Field Solus altered the direction of gravity, making him fall toward her. He instinctively tried to take a deep breath and almost choked on his blood.
'What can those things do exactly?' Locrias asked while trying to sever Quaron's head from his neck with a horizontal slash with War.
'Can't you just read my mind?' Solus replied while using one of the spheres forming the Distorted Field to accelerate Locrias and another to make Quaron's feet heavier, messing with his tempo.
'No. I can speak with you like this only because I'm in your shadow. Your energy signature is attuned with me enough to control your body, but that's it. I feel like I should be able to do more yet I can't.' Locrias was amazed by the Ranger managing to block his attacks.
Yet he could feel from the impact that due to Solus's monstrous strength and to the spheres that somehow limited his movements, Quaron had failed to disperse the force of the hit, taking a lot of damage anyway.
'It must be because Lith and I share the same energy signature but not his bloodline abilities. It seems that he can Possess his Demons as he did in Urgamakka.' Solus was relieved by that answer.
She liked Locrias, but she didn't want to share with him the most private details of her life nor her thoughts.
Quaron felt the bones in his arm cracking but darkness fusion made the pain bearable. He focused healing magic on his nose, repairing it and hurling Origin Flames at Solus.
She only needed to activate the sphere closest to his face to create an updraft that altered the trajectory of the breath enough for Locrias to dodge it with minimal movement and aim for the neck.
Quaron Blinked away, only for Solus to Blink along and for Locrias to lunge from behind, piercing his throat.
'It's not enough. Cut his head off and pierce his heart. I have no mana left.' Solus said and Locrias complied.
Only when mana sense confirmed that Quaron was dead did Solus dispel Distorted Field, using the Sage Staff to fuel her core.
'What do we do now?' Locrias said, feeling that if he used even one bit more strength he would be back being a wandering soul.
'We wait.' Solus replied.
Suddenly, War escaped her grip and took the sky, flying towards the two still fighting titans.
'Can you see what's happening?' Solus asked Locrias, discovering that he was gone as well, leaving her alone.
***
The explosion of the Origin Flames had wounded Syrook, but it was far from lethal. Lith was still wounded from the fall and the kicking, making them even.
Yet the Black Dragon had still the advantage of a bigger body, a stronger core, and better equipment. Lith didn't waste time patting his own back and hurled a second stream of Void Flames to finish the job.
Both Dragons were amazed at how fast and destructive the black flames were.
