Niara took advantage of the moment when the two were distracted and moved like a ghost once again, appearing behind them and striking.
*BOOM!*
Time-space turned chaotic, and a wave of natural power spread in all directions.
Darian watched everything in awe. Niara had used the power from his Gaia Core perfectly twice.
She didn't know how to control space to move, but the power coming from Gaia had an innate ease in influencing the space around her. Alone, and purely by instinct, she found a way to use that energy to move at extreme speed.
*Wooooosh!*
A wave of astral winds and light erupted behind Darian.
He turned around and saw the Sacred Treasure above the corpse, pulsing as if it were burning. Alaric was still on top, his hand pressed against the Sacred Treasure; the two were locked in a direct clash of forces and energies.
That duel seemed to have moved one step closer to its end. But the Sacred Treasure was resisting fiercely.
"NO!"
