A deafening roar emerged from the ice prison when another massive crack opened, this time revealing part of what appeared to be a gigantic arm moving slowly.
"The first one is breaking free!" a soldier shouted.
There was no time to organize a concentrated attack.
The soldiers focused their fire on the opening, trying to damage the creature before it could emerge completely. Flames and various projectiles crashed against the exposed surface, tearing away pieces of corrupted flesh that kept regenerating.
It wasn't enough.
The ice prison disintegrated with a final crack, freeing the two massive creatures that immediately began moving toward each other with a disturbing purpose.
They were quite damaged by Selphira's freezing attack, and many of their parts also seemed to have dried up, perhaps from injecting their vital energy into the artifacts to escape.
But for the creatures, the damage wasn't a problem, it was an opportunity.
"They're fusing!" Zhao shouted.
