Ashlock was relieved to learn that his new {Voidstorm Aegis [S]} skill had two modes, much like {Consuming Abyss [B]}. The purple lightning Qi barrier covering the entire mountain range and Ashfallen City from before was still active, just denser than before.

While Xen was lost in thought about all the possible skills he would gain, Gerald covered his mouth and suddenly coughed violently.
Bringing away his trembling hand, it was covered in scarlet blood that glistened under the dungeon's ever-present light.
