«Be careful,» Noctis said from within the [Shadow Vault], «that thing's a lot stronger than anything you've faced so far.»
"I know," Adrian said as he floated in the air, directly in front of the beast, "but it's also our only way out of here."
For a moment, neither the butler nor the beast made a move as they silently 'looked' at each other.
But the next second, the creature suddenly disappeared from Adrian's sight, causing his eyes to immediately widen.
A massive wave was formed where it previously was, but Adrian paid that no mind.
Instead, he focused on the sudden movement of the massive amounts of corrupted mana, and he quickly wrapped himself in a ball of shadows.
The next second, the beast reappeared in front of him and with a flick of its finger, the barrier protecting Adrian suddenly gave way, and he was launched through the air like a slingshot.
