Whereas Xaden's determination to develop into Venin most likely helped save lives by eradicating the Sage Venin from the battlefield, It was actually the survey of the wards that ended the battle fully. Realizing that this occurred only a few minutes after he turned Venin, there's a likelihood that he may maintain on and keep away from this vacation spot.

Onyx Storm Leaves readers with a powerful sense of hopelessness, particularly now that Yarros has confirmed that their sacrifice was apparently all for nothing.
