A long scream of rage, pain, and despair rips from Itsu's lips.
Even his last defense — the skeletal armor formed by his Innatus — collapses beneath the relentless strikes of the dark spikes erupting without pause from the Avatar of the Primordial Shadow, Cassian Thalukvar.
He tries a desperate release: a massive surge of Sanguis energy mixed with Corrupted Flame. It does nothing. Born from the emissaries' dark power, the Corrupted Flame has lost the Sacred Flame's original properties and is utterly ineffective against Shadow Magic.
The tangle of anti-magic tentacles closing around him disintegrates on contact any particle of Sanguis energy Itsu releases, while it suffocates the fuchsia flames.
