The altar erupted with a deafening roar, spawning riftprimals, such as titanic, multi-limbed beasts with glowing cores, molten spines, and armored shells, larger and more ferocious than the titans, their movements a blur of deadly precision that left the trio reeling.
"Form up!" Kelvin shouted, his voice was barely audible over the rift's roar, Xerion reared, his flames were ignited in a blazing arc that lit the chasm.
He channeled a fire Convergence and a searing fire lance sliced through a riftprimal's core, the beast dissolving in a burst of ash, but the Sovereign dove, its talons tearing into Kelvin's chest, blood gushed as he staggered, the pain blinding him, his vision was swimming with dark spots.
He cursed under his breath and channeled a fiery vortex, while Xerion's flames roared through the gauntlet, searing the stormhawk's wing and forcing it back, but his strength faltered and blood pooled beneath him as he fought to stay upright.
