Legion20
irrelevant to the chapter i think lith need to step up for bright violet in order to ascend to guardian hood cuz leegain breath white origin flames and salaak's aura is also white considering aura and origin flames take the color of the core. But legion never said directly guardians are white cored but some scenarios show that guardians are definitely white cored and I'm starting to wander that difference between white cored and a guardian is like difference between 1 and 2.
I think they are going to let her die on purpose so they can take the armor. If it has the capability it does in the hands of a non-awakened human imagine an awakened beast. this gives reason as to why they are holding the hydra back and sets up the story for more fights with Orpal and a short honeymoon for lith.
