Serein vaulted onto the stage without meeting a single obstacle. The security guards had already fallen under Elias's control.
Up here, the chaos was no less than below. Lumina's members were clawing at one another's collars, fists raised as if about to drive them into each other's faces.
This has to be stopped. And fast.
Serein sprinted toward Elias. He spotted her, his head snapping around, and bellowed like a metal frontman screaming into a storm.
"You insolent mortal!"
His roar cracked the air like thunder. The shockwave of his levo slammed into her chest, forcing her backward step after step. She let her own levo surge across her body, bracing against the pressure.
"What…?"
Elias froze, startled. His sound waves had been blocked entirely, unable to pierce her or shatter her mind.
Serein braced her stance, teeth clenched, and hurled his assault back at him. "Wake up, Elias!"
