Isaac ran through the heart of Paradise with Oliver and several Sentinels close behind.
Neila had transformed into an enormous spider, her exoskeleton so hard that arrows from Origin Tier summons struck it and bounced away like paper thrown against stone. She towered over Isaac, Oliver and the others, shielding them from the worst of the barrage while unleashing webs that swept enemies from their path.
Statues of Paradise's past Captains stood on both sides of the sprawling staircase leading up to the Elders' Court.
Elves had formed ranks across the approach. Their attacks were relentless, but Neila absorbed or obstructed enough of their firepower to keep the Sentinels moving.
Isaac noticed Oliver keeping close beside him. The two of them were able to push through the obstruction faster than the others, racing towards the round, flat-roofed building perched at the top of the hill.
