They had prepared themselves for what lay ahead, but the reality was far harsher than anything they had imagined.
The first hurdle came in the form of dozens of winged serpents, their scaled bodies glimmering with starlight as they swarmed in a frenzy. Emery and the others plunged into the chaos, pushing against the raging currents of the void.
"Break through!"
Cosmic flames erupted from Morgana, burning paths through the serpent swarm. Dark Emery unleashed void blades sharp enough to tear through the chaotic currents, while Light Emery summoned jade roots to bind the creatures and create pathways.
But the deeper they pushed, the stronger the spatial currents became. Invisible ripples crashed against their bodies like tidal waves, shattering their balance and throwing them back. The void itself fought against their escape, and in an instant, the serpents regrouped, surrounding them once more.
"Keep moving!" Dark Emery roared, his void blade carving arcs of destruction.
