Vex's smile didn't falter even as she took us in. Like she'd already calculated everything.
"I have to say, I didn't think the ones we were hunting would come in use. You two really are a big pain in my ass, but this is good too. I was itching for new test materials anyway."
She continued, stepping out of the command centre with the kind of casual confidence, her origin level 9 strength on display. Elowen didn't respond with words. She just moved.
Her hands came up. The water around us started to move with purpose, swirling with this deep, purposeful current. Massive coral constructs erupted from the walls. They were shaped like blooming flowers, but massive and terrifying, with thorns the size of swords jutting from their petals. The constructs moved with singular focus, charging toward Vex.
Vex met them without hesitation, while I took a backseat to enjoy the show. There was a lot unsaid here, and I will just enjoy the show.
