After Almond killed everyone and absorbed them, he didn't stop.
His eyes glowered and bled as he roared, seeing through the fundamental structure of everything around him to take back the souls of those who died.
'Natalia, Elder Silvester! You can't die!'
'None of you can die!'
Almond had already scanned them, so he could make a 'copy' but that wouldn't be them. He wanted the real them!
*Crack!*
His overwhelming pressing will and power of his Riftveil Grimblade literally started breaking the fabric of Labyrinth he trailed behind the passing souls.
They were going towards a dark light that looked like a tree with a mouth, but there was also something struck with the tree around it, all blurry.
But the dark light was coming out of the tree's mouth, that was about to devour the souls.
'GET BACK TO ME!'
Suddenly, a golden stream arrived, ethereal and vehement. It yanked the souls before they could be devoured.
