Blitz: Overture (2)

Gael's Devour ability was definitely not the same as True Void's absorption.

Kyran more or less guessed that this was Gael's last resort move rather than a trump card. Apart from this, the latter was forced to use it now because it required something that he did not have when they were within the stone wall.

People.

As much as Kyran did not care about what would happen to these soldiers it would not be wise to let Gael do what he wanted. It was not because he was not confident he could win against Gael, but because he did not want to alert Ruin.

Kyran was Ruin's prey. If anyone tried to touch him, the latter would definitely go to great lengths to ensure no one gets ahead of him.

It had been the case with Deception. If not for Cade stopping Ruin from going to Noser at that time, the latter would have already clashed with Deception and Noser would not only suffer but literally be wiped out of the empire's map.
