Faced with the seemingly endless number of nail sized mist spears tearing through their first offensive against the mist serpent, both the necromancers and the dungeon core were left in a difficult situation, as neither of the two wanted to pull out their final trump cards when they still had to fight each other to the death after the mist serpent was dealt with.
If one of them ended up using their trump card to deal with the mist serpent while the other side just watched from the side, the situation that followed afterwards would likely be a one-sided beating. Especially so for the necromancers of the Eternal Life Sanctum, who still had to worry about the group of adventurers that had essentially decided to take a wait and see stance following the emergence of the mist serpent.
