It wasn't torture, though no one other than a beyonder host would understand that. It was the only way that Draiss had found that, without exception, would literally kill the beyonder host AND the beyonder without fail. He would get a trace amount of the beyonder's energy, less than a percent, but this wasn't about power. This was about proving to Barid that he could, would, and gladly will use every last bit of his power to destroy every last bit of his opponents, without hesitation, mercy, or pity. It was War, and he would fight until he won, totally, or died, and his surviving Death Squad constructs were no different. It was both a victory, and a warning, to the others, that if they came, come ready to kill or be killed, because he would be, and that fine edge, so fine many never even knew it existed, would give him an edge that even Barid would respect.<br/><br/>It was the sign of the explosion that he was waiting for, and his gaze sudden intensified, before he began glowing with wasted power, and literally dove into Orias' body, every intent on catching the beyonder off guard, as he went for its throat, and without V'elen even being involved, relying entirely on the shock value of suddenly being internally assaulted by one of these... lesser than the least abominations to get his fangs in. It had worked wonderfully against a lesser beyonder, barely more than a Leviathan class taint, but it should, in theory, work just fine against these. Once he was inside, it should be easy for V'elen to wake up, slam the opposing beyonder to pieces, and then Draiss would get them both back out, using the very energy it was channeling into its now former host to hold the door out open for them.
