The four demon council members moved at the same time.
Drazhul stepped forward with a roar, demonic energy flaring.
Xavira shifted to the side, already preparing to strike from an angle.
Malreth raised his hands, rings glowing as he began activating defensive arts.
Velmor stayed half a step back, eyes sharp, studying Garion's body with open fascination.
But to their surprise, Garion moved first
He raised his fist, and the space around Velmor twisted.
Velmor's eyes widened. "What!!!"
His body was yanked forward violently, feet leaving the ground as if grabbed by an invisible hand.
He flew straight toward Garion, completely unable to resist.
"Velmor!" Xavira shouted.
Garion caught him by the face with one hand.
The impact was clean. Precise.
"I don't like your eyes," Garion said calmly. "They're annoying."
Velmor struggled, demonic mana flaring wildly. "Fascinating… even now…"
Garion interrupted him by slamming him straight into the ground.
