Substitution
Divine descent could take many forms.
The highest form was descent through a vessel or Avatar.
A step below that was the transmission of divine power.
Once, the Black Death Society had summoned Lady Moon's power and directly breached Green Tree Castle's Tower Spirit defenses.
This time, Bolong used children with high Inspiration as vessels, hoping to use the power transmitted by Lady Moon to defeat Sean in one stroke, perhaps even advancing directly to the sixth tier!

Isaac had no solution to this situation.
He could only watch helplessly as Sean's undead army was steadily driven back, while the children's faces grew paler from overdrawing their Inspiration.
