[Celestial Academy — Administrative Wing Corridor — 10:44 AM]
Six more arrived.
From the side corridor. Levels 68 to 75. Containment formation — not to kill, to surround. Cael's orders were clear: capture the F1 bearer, contain the F5 bearer.
The problem was that containing Davan and attacking Alex at the same time meant no one was doing either job well.
Raven with Army of Bones absorbing three of the six before they reached Alex. The other three got through.
[Alex HP: 451,200 → 441,600 → 433,100]
[Corruption: 86% → 87%]
Alex wasn't striking back to kill. He couldn't. Four thousand students in the Academy, Inquisitors following orders they hadn't chosen, people who in another context weren't the enemy.
They didn't have that problem with him.
