The mana bullets rained on Ankhuta from every side, and his depowered equipment offered him no protection against the emerald onslaught.
Venkhara abandoned the cover of his master's back to move on the offensive, hitting Lith with a simultaneous barrage of glaive strikes, pincer cuts, and tail lashes.
Lith didn't block any of them. Each attack landed exactly where Venkhara had aimed it. However, none of them cut deep. The Tiamat seemed to wear another layer of armor over his scales, and his body was denser than Orichalcum.
Lith exploited the moment the limbs of the young Ishara stopped inside his flesh to grab Venkhara's spear with his free hand, the pincers with his upside-down wings, and the stinger with his mouth.
Lith's fangs bit into the enchanted metal and released the Origin Flames directly into Venkhara's body. At the same time, his wings pulled his pincers in opposite directions while his hand kept the spear still, locking the Ishara into place.
