"What a strange thing to ask." Arokleth replied, but did not give her opponent an answer. Indeed, the monolith was just getting started. Another orb shot from the eye, streaking towards Chloe even as a third was being charged. Smaller crystal structures rose up around the spire, before tendrils of energy shot out from the eye, coursing through the pieces and creating a number of segmented arms around the eye. Globules of darkness pooled at the tips of these arms, erupting in what looked like bolts of black lightning aimed at the girl. A wave of energy erupted from the tower, pulsing along the ground and causing a forest of crystal spines to erupt from the ground around the tower, all of them protruding at bizarre, seemingly impossible angles, a deadly attack that also made movement much harder. "Why would it concern you, I wonder?" the girl added after a pause, placing one hand on the base of the tower.
