The moment he used the Scepter's special power, Veer felt drained to the maximum, as if he had been awake for years.
Even if he didn't want to, he lost consciousness under the immense pain, which was quickly lifted by Elara's flames. The Scepter faded in existence, as its use was now complete.
Others didn't stay idle, as they had already prepared themselves. They were surprised by Veer's strength, or at least by what he had shown, but that didn't stop them.
Rock quickly picked Veer up and put him on his shoulders, then burst into motion as he shot into the gap. He had already activated his Aspect transformation, so he was much faster and had heightened perception.
However, someone else was faster than him, as the petite rat woman ran ahead of him, ready to intercept any attacks that came her way.
Elizabeth and Aurora followed him closely, their eyes watching for the hidden dangers of the mist, ready to fight if anything came after them from it.
