SKRAW!
"BAH!"
Before Zhen Liu could fire off an attack and interrupt Delictum, the owl Kaijin proved himself to be a touch faster.
Delictum released a pair of [Chaos]-infused projectiles from his arm cannons and impacted Zhen Liu right in the gut.
While his [Regalia]-[Stigma] combination was strong enough to prevent penetration and insides becoming outsides, Zhen Liu still felt as if he just gotten kicked in the stomach by an angry mule as he got knocked to the ground and was forced to make a sliding entrance into the smelter room cavern.
While Dante and his horde of kaijin were on the hunt for Zhen Liu's wild imaginary goose, the kaijin left at the mines had made sure to keep the fires going and that all of the harvested [Malevolent Gold] ore was properly smelted down into gold bars.
As such, Zhen Liu found himself sliding into a burning hot room that was absolutely lousy with malicious energy.
