The dispel cuts down the period of invincibility held by the wolves, but doesn't undo it completely. The exact mechanism of the ability is innate to them and the enchantment was extending it. The Furnace Knight's flight is entirely unaffected.

And then the gate opens. The wolves fall. 

The Furnace Knight extends his hand - but not towards them.

The roof of the facility burns clear away, exposing a clear light to the sun above. The Furnace Knight seems to hold it in his hand, and as he does there is a strange and terrible buildup. Violet energy starts to condense - slow and weak, fragments breaking out of the very daylight. Energy is extracted from light, from gravity, a desperate vacuum of power extracted. The next time the Aotrs send a probe through the readings coming from Tanshin's star are [i]insane[/i]. The sun's surface has erupted with four small but intense solar flares that burn in an unnatural violet hue.

And the Furnace Knight hurls the energy downwards at Lord Death Despoil. Whatever this was it clearly wasn't ready - it was a fragment of energy, a mere handful. The attack comes so fast there's no time to think, only to dodge - and the purple energy falls through the gate too and impacts on star G-2679.

And that is where that exchange seems to end. It won't be for some weeks now that G-2679 starts to develop... [i]symptoms [/i]similar to the chaotic readings starting to come from the Tanshin star. Just as well Lord Death Despoil chose an uninhabited system.

But in the immediate sense, the Furnace Knight has come out the worse of this exchange. His soldiers are lost, his frantic attack has missed, and now he is reduced to his own personal prowess. But for the knowledge of the Lichemaster's gate he considers it worthwhile. 

He attacks now with a prepared caution, never making a move with momentum he can't immediately check if a Gate unexpectedly appears before him. For all its force, it is still ultimately a noncommittal offensive, relying only on techniques he has already demonstrated. If he has additional techniques up his sleeve he is keeping them hidden, a concession to the idea that a swift victory is no longer in the cards. The momentum is distinctly with the Lichemaster.
