After claiming the life of a practitioner from the Gorathim side, the cloud chose its next target from the Lunari.
"This is not normal." Thalira's expression shifted as she saw it descend on one of her teammates.
From the pattern she had already grasped, it should have gone for the weakest, and those were clearly among the mixed-race group, who still numbered 7. Yet the cloud avoided them entirely, striking the Lunari instead.
That thought grew clearer with each moment, for the cloud now drifted between the Lunari and Gorathim lines, disqualifying them one by one while ignoring the mixed-race survivors.
"What kind of skill is this?" Thalira blurted, curiosity breaking through as she pulled one of her people free from dissolution.
To her—and to everyone else—Adyr was an Astra Path practitioner. None of them knew of any Astra skill with the power to bend the cloud's will in such a way.
