-----------------------
Avrin calmed himself down. He had never battled with a mage of the Fifth universe on the Deity level and couldn't be careless. It was also a learning experience. "The vortex's center suddenly shot a ray of dark light that engulfed Avrin who threw Tyron to the side. Avrin quickly dashed to the side and just as the ray of light was about to hit where he was it changed direction and followed him.

"Oh?" Avrin was a little impressed. He opened his palm and shot a Void Sphere towards the ray. The ray was slowed for a moment before the Void Sphere was turned into nothingness.

"Don't bother trying to escape, we mages may not excel at physical strength but our magical abilities make up for it!" Elorin spoke with pride. From what he'd seen, Avrin wasn't a Deity who used magic.

Avrin listened for a moment, but as he glanced at Elorin he noticed the orb on his staff was emitting a strange pulse. It reflected the image of the ray of light and Avrin. Avrin then glanced at Elorin and noticed that his eyes were also emitting the same strange sort of mana trace.

"You shouldn't hold back." Avrin understood that Elorin was holding his strength back mainly because they were on his home ground, but in the end, they had aggravated Avrin and he didn't really care. He needed to deal with the consortium and had tried to do so in a discreet, fair manner, but they provoked him at every turn and resulted in violence and even went as far as to capture those he cared about.

Avrin wasn't willing to wait until help arrived for Elorin. He casually Divine Stepped and appeared in front of him. Elorin was stunned with fright. Teleportation magic that didn't require a conduit or an action was something incredibly rare only those at the top of the food chain of existence knew, but for Avrin to use an ability similar or even identical was out of his expectation. All he could do was prepare himself.

"Epitaph Ward of-" Avrin's right hand flashed like a bolt of lightning before Elorin could finish his incantation. Avrin grabbed his staff and kicked towards Elorin's stomach with heavy force.

The smash pummeled into Elorin's stomach and the shock of the attack caused an aftershock of energy to smash against the walls of the dungeon and beyond and cause them to blow apart. There were people already scrambling for safety. No one in the Artificer Consortium headquarters was overly weak, but the debris formed from the aftershock was enough to cause large chunks of rubble to injure and even kill a few unlucky individuals.

Avrin's eyebrows narrowed as he noticed Elorin hadn't loosened his grip on his staff. The force had caused him to skid several meters back and Avrin had been pulled along. Elorin began to spit out more blood as he raised his head to reveal that his skin was engulfed in the same runic barrier as Tyron. Elorin, of course, looked extremely mad.

"You...dare try to take MY STAFF!" he gave a maddened look as mana began to surge around him, causing the air to grow thicker and heavier. "-No kidding. Good thing I have some information from God. You mages may not excel at physical abilities but this mana barrier is a form of protection-"
