Noctharion was a powerful being, but even he had not anticipated his swift defeat. The ice worms changed into humanoid forms and approached the frozen Noctharion. He was most likely dead, but there was still a chance that he could be alive. Malphas approached the ice worms, her face still covered with disbelief. She had seen the power these creatures held. She was even beginning to accept the rumors that the Continuum Beast had favored the ice worms during the age of evolution.
She bowed slightly toward the most powerful ice worm. It had transformed into an old-looking woman who appeared to be on her last legs. She smiled back with needle-sharp teeth, causing Malphas to shiver.
"We do not know what made you think that you could go against everything and attack the monolith, and we do not care. All we have to do is give you death." With these words, the ice worm raised her hand to decimate the frozen Noctharion.
