Boom!
Kain closed his eyes tightly, the only body part he still retained control of, preparing for the bone-crushing impact.
Fortunately, Aegis, now fully restored and towering over the battlefield, intercepted the charge. His stone fists slammed into the creature with enough force to make it break its forward charge at Kain, especially, since Aegis targeted its already damaged side.
The creature roared in anger, its glowing eyes narrowing as it looked at Aegis and then at Kain who was a mere few meters away.
By this point, Serena and Kain's contracts had also realized that something was wrong with Kain. One of the Vespid guards quickly whisked him away, while Serena's Starweaver hovered nearby to cover their escape.
Seeing his target get further away, the massive creature grew enraged.
"You will not take what is not yours!" it bellowed, its voice filled with rage. "This planet's energy belongs to its people, not to invaders like you!"
