Phoebe did not want to waste her breath on Howard.
She gave The Great Warlock a look. “Go!”
Phoche then manipulated the evil energy within the seal and saber coin, turning into a sword–like shape, and slashed at Howard.

The Great Warlock was not a saintrither, so she would make sure he got a taste of what Howard was capable of
Moreover, Phoebe quietly phoned more evil energy into several critical points, making the magic field’s destructive power double.
The Sky Serpent seized the opportunity to blend into the magic field and soon began consuming venomous parasites as sustenance.
It took The Great Warlock more than 20 minutes to force his way out of the magic field.

While he had managed to injure Howard severely today, he too had been badly hurt, and the losses were great.
His life–bound artifact had been nimed while trying to counter the magic field, and more than half of his creatures were gone. Most of his energy had been drained.
Returning like this, he had no idea how long it would take tis recover, and his lifespan would surely be affected.
If it were not for Phoebe being so formidable, he will have killed her right then and there.
Phoebe could tell that The Great Warlock was trying to hold in his anger. Then go find Howard

The Great Warlock knew Phoebe was trying to manipulate him to destroy Howard’s base
