The four Peak Sovereign Gnomes did not waste time talking. Dark elemental energy burst out from all four of them at once, forming thick waves of corrosive force that rushed toward the human side. Two of the Gnomes locked their killing intent on Grey right away. The other two tried to break the formation and separate him from the rest.
The Faction Leader and Heidens moved first to block. Fire and heavy earth elemental energy smashed into the darkness, creating a loud shockwave that split the air above the ruined courtyard. Mayor Zane, Adkins, and the other two Peak Sovereigns spread out quickly, forcing the Gnomes to split their attention. Grey did not fall back. He blinked to the side with a short spatial shift, avoiding the thickest part of the attack, then sent a four-colored fusion orb flying at the nearest Gnome.
