The group had to walk for quite a distance and fight more monsters before they reached the lowest point of the cave.
The eerie feeling they've been feeling all along just got intensified a million times when they reached here. The party got serious and was on guard against anything that could attack.
The cave was dark—so dark to the point that Lorea's spell was no longer enough. She invested more mana in it and only then were they able to see a little.
"It's there!" Tuskina shouted, finally catching a glance at the hellish entity they've been following all along. The second the entity heard the voice, it got up.
*Crackle* *Crackle*
"Grigrigri, KYAAAAAAAA!" The nightwatcher started laughing eerily, then it screamed loudly.
"Fuck! It's loud." Adena shouted.
*Fwshhh*
Suddenly, total darkness consumed the room, making the group only able to see forward with their enhanced eyes, but definitely not good enough since not everybody here had sensing skills.
"The light!" Tuskina commented.
"I can't use the spell again. For heaven's sake, it must be an EX-rank." Lorea stated. Her expression ugly.
"Things just got a thousand time more complex." Allan said.
"Don't worry guys, I will light up the room." Palkus came to the rescue, as in a few seconds, he summoned his light law strings and formed a similar ball of light to Lorea's, lighting the cave once again and not leaving any room for the nightwatcher to mess with them again.
"KYAAAAAAAA!" The nightwatcher's screams once again echoed when Palkus lit up the area.
'Seems like it hates light a lot.' Palkus thought
"Ah, I can see much better than with the witch's." Adena, who was holding her ears said.
"Thank you." Hearing the loli's words, Lorea wasn't pleased.
"Guys, we have no time for such things, we can die if we're not serious." Allan stated.
"Nah, leave it to me." Palkus walked forward, tapping Allan's shoulder.
*Fwsh*
Out of nowhere, an abyss blade with neon gold engraving appeared on his hand, shining with fervor.
*Tap* *Fwshhh*
With a single step on the floor, a large earth wall surfaced from the place Palkus' feet touched, stopping the nightwatcher in its place.
*Boom*
Not wasting the chance he made for himself, Palkus used his senses to pinpoint the exact location of the entity before he punched through the wall and onto its face.
*BOOOOOOM*
The strike was heavy, sending the skinny being like a ragdol across the cave until it hit the floor that was far on the other side.
*Crash*
Palkus squatted down, left hand on his blade, and launched himself forward.
*Fwshhh*
By the time the gomen crossed half the distance of the cave, the entity had balanced itself up.
"KYAAAAAAAAA!" It screamed in anger while staring at Palkus with its whole body and eyes glowing a blinding violet.
*SLASH*
With a slashing motion, the nightwatcher launched a huge purple slash, aiming it at the young man.
{Valenstein Celestial Swordsmanship: Unfated}
Using the spell a celestial once used against Draco and his comrades, the entity's slash disappeared like it was never there, and Palkus continued on his way.
{Valenstein Chaos Codex: Dead End!}
Palkus' eyes closed for a second before he opened them again, and for a second, they shone with a crimson light.
Clutching his sword's handle, Palkus was ready to end this battle once and for all. His law strings appeared once again, but this time there were many forming a mutli-colored wonder that concentrated around the sword.
"Grigrigri." The nightwatcher, seeing that its slash was useful, got annoyed. However, when it felt the pressure coming from Palkus, it got scared.
"Gri... Kyaaaaaa!" Its eyes opened in fear and it tried to flee, unfortunately for it, it was far too late.
*Slash* *Crackle* Crackle* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
