Wake of Ruin surrounded by two Masters and five Awakened, we're heading towards the den of a Corrupted creature.
The squad of seven moved through the snowy landscape.
Their figures cast a shadow on the crimson and white chaos that blanketed the Father of Wounds' den.
Their steps left faint impressions in the slushy snow.
It was mingled with streaks of blood that seemed to flow endlessly.
Wake of Ruin, the government Saint, led the group with an unsettling calm.
His eyes gleamed with a dark promise.
His presence was darkly vibrant, revealing the countless bloody battles that seemed to cling to his body.
Master Jack, a Master of the government, moved silently behind Wake of Ruin.
His face held soft features making him calming to look at.
Unlike other Awakened whose looks slowly became hypnotizing, and in some cases, even painful to look at.
His eyes were unique mismatched in color.
The right one held a beautiful sky blue.
The left one shone with the forest's green sparkle.
His hair was also quite strange, as if it had been sprayed with the three primary colors.
However, when his hair reached closer to his roots they start to become white.
Isaac was given a brief description of his Aspect.
Apparently, it allowed him to influence perception.
The other five Awakened however were nothing special.
Each of them had an elemental type Aspect.
They could each control a single element.
Of course, the reason as to why they were chosen, was due to how well they could manipulate and enforce those elements.
For example, one of them had the ability to command lightning.
But this lightning could come in many different forms.
One way he was able to use lightning was to strip it from a person's body.
When Isaac heard that he was honestly baffled.
How could you strip lightning from a person?
But then it was explained to him.
Apparently, the human body uses miniature electrical pulses that maintain the energy within our nervous system and muscle movement.
Even our brain's memories use miniature electrical pulses.
So technically, if this Awakened wanted to he could simply stop the functions within a person's body by stripping away their "internal" lightning.
If he wanted to, he could simply force the brain to burn from within.
There was a problem, however.
He could not pull the lightning from a person or creature of a higher Rank.
And even when he pulled out the lightning from those that he could, it didn't do much.
The human body did not send enough electrical pulses through it to actually form a lightning bolt.
There was al-
"We are here".
Bringing him out of his thoughts Wake of Ruin gazed upon a vile creature dripping with a crimson liquid.
That creature was coiled like a spring.
From Isaac's point of view, it seemed to be sleeping.
But suddenly two silver orbs suddenly appeared within the viscous red liquid.
Gazing directly at us, it raised its head.
And then-
"Hisssss!".
With a profane hiss crimson liquid rushed from its body.
The viscous liquid began to separate and transform into bloody serpents.
Their bodies were at least half the size of a human and as thick as a human arm.
"Take care of the Tyrants' creations".
Wake of Ruins' voice boomed as he vanished from the vanguard jumping past the tide of blood serpents.
Manifesting [Crystal Ice] Isaac's eyes caught one of the bloody serpents, reaching the remaining squad's area.
He launched forward elegantly, swinging the icy spear in its direction.
The battle had finally begun.
