A cold light flashed in Orion's eyes as he faced the injured Lunarfin.
"What? Intruders?" he transmitted, feigning outrage. "Unforgivable!"
With a furious roar, he swung his own sharp fins, plunging them directly into the other Lunarfin's body.
"What are you doing?!" the injured one cried out in confusion. "The intruder is in the temple! Are you out of your mind?!"
Clearly, it hadn't realized the 'ally' before it was the real problem.
Orion let out a silent, vicious laugh. With a twist of his fins, his trident, Flame of Will, burst forth from his spectral body, shredding the Lunarfin to pieces. The dragon soul residing within it was instantly incinerated, becoming fuel for the trident.
The sneak attack was a success. Orion continued to swim, moving on to the next Lunarfin that had been knocked into the water.
Up on the temple corridor, Leonidas was on a rampage. Far from being stopped, he had actually managed to push deeper into the temple complex.
