When Eldran saw entire swaths of thread disappearing, he hurled his spear.
It passed through the web of golden strands in front of him, then skimmed along the edge of the beam and shot upward, straight toward Elira as she focused on controlling the Divine Sovereign Moth's wings.
Busy clearing the threads ahead, Elira paid little attention to what was above her.
Andona heard the spear tearing through the air first. With a beat of her wings, she crossed the battlefield and reached Elira before the spear could strike. Her golden blade swept upward and met it head-on. The collision blasted the surrounding dust and sand flat.
The spear stopped in midair, but Eldran continued driving it forward.
A multicolored laser shot past Andona's shoulder and struck the middle of the shaft. Light spread along the spear, breaking down the energy across its surface and steadily weakening its forward momentum.
Andona glanced back.
