The corrupt creatures shrieked as lightning burned through their malleable bodies, as wind currents carved them into sections, as the combined assault overwhelmed their regenerative capabilities.
Within thirty seconds, all ten entities were destroyed, their corrupted forms dispersing into harmless ambient energy.
Silence returned to the chamber.
Kaela and Jaren stared in shock at the carnage, then at their unexpected savior.
"That was..." Jaren whispered. "Those were Mid-Sequence Techniques. Multiple elements in coordinated assault. I've only seen Paladins execute techniques at that level."
The young man descended from the platform, his movements fluid and unhurried.
"You're both injured," he observed, turning his attention especially to the male. "You especially. Your condition is critical. Allow me…"
He knelt beside Jaren, and his hand began glowing with soft green light that Kaela recognized as a healing technique.
