The events that happened next was simple.
The Grey Pact had no other choice than to fight the ice puppet.
Even if they wanted to escape through teleportation, they would not be able to because the ice puppet had locked onto them.
They could feel its killing intent, and they knew that the moment they let down their guard, it would strike them.
So they had to fight.
Vexa and her teammates were all Half-Step Greater Demons, but when compared to the ice puppet, they were weaker.
But did they lose?
Absolutely not.
Their desire to live was very strong, and the fact that Simon had Lucien as a hostage was putting the ice puppet in a tight spot.
The ice puppet had to make sure that a portion of his attention was on Simon and Lucien.
There were times when the ice puppet wanted to release a wide scale attack that would wipe out the entire Grey Pact, but Simon would intervene.
He would shout and threaten the ice puppet by drawing more blood from Lucien's neck.
