Boom!
A dark, repulsive aura overwhelmed the air as Layland's Demonic Mana burst out uncontrollably. Teanosvera immediately let go of Phoebesius, rushed to Mark's side and secured him. Elegast, finding himself beaten by Teanosvera, clicked his tongue bitterly. He wanted to snatch Mark from Teanosvera but Phoebesius stopped him.
The said Phoenix wrapped his wings around the Light Elf and then flew away. He was trying to get out of the forest but failed to do so because his weakened state didn't allow him to break through Teanosvera's splendid Dimensional Barrier.
In the end, the Phoenix protectively stood before the Light Elf and waited until Layland finished his metamorphosis.
