When the Soul Flayer realised its life force was sucked, it focused its attention on it. It not only learned that Sura Yao was the one responsible, but it also knew that its life force leaked through the injury she had struck earlier.
The Soul Flayer quickly directed the dust it absorbed from its minions to seal the injury from which its life force was leaking. However, that injury persisted. In fact, if it didn't attempt to heal that wound, the wound would worsen the longer its life force was drawn. Its action in healing the wound counteracted the rate of deterioration. The wound came to a state of equilibrium. It neither healed nor worsened.
It knew then that to stop this power that leeched on its life, it must deal directly with the source. Sura Yao was now its primary target. It again gathered light-element aether in its mouth and fired another laser beam.
