The abyssal demigod, though momentarily staggered by Bea's desperate attempt, was far from defeated.
Its massive form loomed over the battlefield, its dark energy surging once more as it began to recover from the disruption. The City Lord, Ishvaran, and his two contracts—the dragon and the armoured giant—were holding the line, but it was clear they couldn't keep this up forever. The dragon's flames were growing weaker, and the armoured giant, though still fighting, was visibly struggling under the weight of its injuries.
Fortunately, due to Bea, it had given the City Lord a chance to wound the abyssal severely enough to relieve their pressure. Now the abyssal demigod was absorbing more of its underlings, these ones not controlled by Bea, in order to heal itself.
