Aeon approached the Lutherion clone, unmoved from the previous round. He kneeled down and touched it, and a significant portion of its body collapsed into a fine dust, presumably ground bone. "It seems that the healing energy in this area intereferes significantly with Lutherion's necromancy," Amethyst said, "as well as Eximo's biological components." She looked backwards, seeing Eximo swiftly sweeping up the mess, paying little attention to Nathan's actions.
"...Which means that anything can happen with Lutherion. The fact that we haven't seen anything from him yet proves that. I think it's best that we be fairly close to that crystal when he does show up." Aeon said. Amethyst silently agreed.
The two made their way towards the centre of the field, both keeping an eye on Nathan. Once they seemed to be out of range of his attacks, they turned to the crystal. It towered over them, easily visible throughout the field. The surface was unnaturally smooth, the inside opaque yet comprised of a multitude of colors, as if the being who created it was indecisive as to which color to use. The grass nearest to the crystal was subtly yet distinctly taller, sparse flowers facing directly towards it, as a sunflower faces towards the Sun. Regardless, its power meant that the particular area was a strong, yet obvious defensive position.
Aeon looked back at Nathan, now barely visible in the distance. The reverberations caused by his phantom attacks could still be felt, and a subtle wave of the grass demonstrated as such. However, with each shockwave Aeon made a near-invisible flinch, remembering his situation in this 'game'.
"You said earlier that the demon posessing Nathan can be considered a ninth contestant." Aeon said somewhat quietly.
"Yes. In fact, Nathan may not technically be in this game himself."
"That would mean that if it were to die, Nathan may be considered eliminated, yet still alive. Likewise, if Nathan were to die and leave behind the demon, the demon may become an uncontrolled variable in all of this."
"Are you saying, then, that it is possible for Nathan to leave this without dying?"
"Yes. Actually, this situation probably means that any two contestants may be allowed to survive, as long as the people behind all this don't have some kind of backup plan."
Aeon looked at Amethyst. Both of them were thinking the same thing.
