"ROAR!"
Erend's roar resounded across the sky and the blackened earth. It sounded different from before. It was shriller and deeper at the same time. The sound also seemed layered, as though a dozen throats were roaring together in unison.
Eccar and Sylven looked toward Erend. They immediately felt that his aura had changed. It was stronger than before, but it also filled them with even greater worry and fear.
However, they immediately shot toward Aesa, who was falling from the sky. Nyssara's clones no longer pursued them. Instead, they remained motionless in their positions because Nyssara herself had shifted all of her attention toward Erend's transformation. Her clones naturally followed wherever her focus was directed.
Eccar and Sylven folded their wings tightly against their backs and dived, forcing themselves even faster toward Aesa's rapidly falling body.
"She seems to have lost consciousness," Sylven said.
