Another specialist named Vex'shira cast Corruption Nova—an area-effect spell that normally would fill the room with flesh-decaying energy. At one-tenth power, it manifested as a weak purple mist.
Seraphelle countered with Purification Circle. Golden light spread across the floor, burning away the corruption mist effortlessly.
Vex'shira tried to run, but Mikazelle's dimensional barrier blocked the exit. She turned, desperate, trying to find another escape.
Rindelle's second arrow caught her in the chest. Even without amplification, the shot was lethal at this range. Vex'shira fell.
The battle was a slaughter.
The corruption specialists were mages designed for coordinated large-scale spells, not close-quarters combat against heroes specifically trained to counter demonic forces.
At full power, fifty-three corruption specialists might have challenged the heroes. At one-tenth power under Gattychan's suppression,they were dying in seconds.
But they fought anyway.
