[Celestial Academy — Administrative Wing Corridor — South Section — 11:41 AM]
Alex felt the exact moment the second creature died.
When the second node collapsed, the system responded with the magical equivalent of a circuit losing one power source and redistributing the load to the remaining ones.
The first creature, in front of him, absorbed that redistribution.
Alex saw it in real time.
[First creature — HP: estimated 680,000]
[System redistributes energy from eliminated node]
[First creature — HP: 680,000 → 847,000]
"It went up," said Alex.
"I see it." Seraph with F2's scythe active, her eyes on the creature that had just absorbed the energy from its eliminated node. "How much?"
"One hundred sixty‑seven thousand HP."
Seraph processed that.
"The third one fell too," said Alex. F1 reading the disappearance of the third node — the mother in the courtyard, eliminated by Raven and the team. "Just now."
