Roderic was once again the first to feel it. But his mind was in such a mess that he was barely holding onto his control of the formation. Reacting to Sylas' movements was endlessly difficult for him.
It was Amara who realized the issue.
"Focus, Roderic. We will handle it!"
She didn't know why Roderic was reacting like this. They couldn't split their senses, and only Roderic had the vantage point to see exactly what had happened behind them. But she could feel the fluctuations of law and Aether.
If it was what she was thinking, then the situation was certainly bad, but not to the point that Roderic should react like this.
But then it happened.
She tried to lock onto Sylas' approaching aura with their abilities.
Chi.
It shattered. Not Sylas, nor the formation beneath their feet, but instead their attempt itself. It was like the laws of the world refused to go after Sylas at all, as though it had chosen its favorites already and they weren't them.
