“This will be fun”
Raiden walked closer to the darkness where the tall figure stood.
“Are you gonna show yourself or will you make me?”
The figure revealed itself. It was not human and looked more like an abomination straight from the Abyss, “Trespassing I see?” It said in a raspy and hideous voice, “Leave at once”
“And who are you to have authority over me?”
The creature walked closer and introduced itself, “I am an Abyss Herald”
Raiden; “What? No need for fancy words here, I know you guys are looking for me. Just say your name. Is it Blade?”
The Abyss Herald leaned back a bit offended, “Blade? You mean a human? You know very well we despise your kind, Blade and his little group work with us as a compromise. The Abyss order has made them an exception to the extermination of mankind. As a matter of fact, I have no interest in you or the others that they are after. If you die in the hands of me then too bad for them”
“Who cares!” Raiden dashed in with a swirling strike, which caught the Abyss Herald off guard.
Meanwhile Bennet, Kitayuu and Ayaka were still trying to find a way to unblock the cave entrance.
Ayaka; “Kitayuu can you make Dendro cores?”
Kitayuu responded, “Yeah, why?”
“Perfect, I’ll tell you in just a moment. Make as many as you can and place them in the cracks of the boulders, but be quick and careful as they explode over some time releasing toxic chemicals into the air and if close enough the explosion can damage your skin.”
Kitayuu immediately got to work, making some Dendro cores. He had to pause every once in a while as he had to use two elements at a time, that being Hydro and Dendro.
Bennet; “Ohhhh, I see what you’re trying to do Ayaka!”
Ayaka turned to him and smiled, “Mhm, then you know what to do then?”
Bennet smirked, “Of course,” he said as he formed a fireball in his hand, “When Dendro cores a triggered by pyro, the explosive power is amplified significantly!”
Kitayuu; “Alright that should be enough” he ran back to his group as he saw some of the Dendro cores twitching.
“Now Bennet!” Ayaka yelled
Bennet threw the fireball at one of the Dendro cores which suddenly created an explosion and detonated the other cores like a cluster bomb.
“Thank the Archons for the Burgeon reaction otherwise we would have taken forever having to use overload to bust those rocks” Ayaka said proud of herself.
They then entered the entrance and began navigating their way through the cave.
