It seemed that the beast had gone berserk. No matter. It would be buried together with everything else here.

Floating through the air with the assistance of his chains, Khaine took another look at the scene. Three mighty beings did battle below. They possessed power, certainly. Like great waves, or erupting volcanoes, reincarnated as living beings. Forces of nature that would annihilate all in their path. But, much like a force of nature, they lacked any degree of subtlety. Their power was blunt, a hammer for them to beat the world into submission with. A fool's weapon. War was fought not with weapons, but with minds, and to do battle depending on raw power alone was to tie your hands behind your back.

It was strange. Looking at the beast, and knowing what that kind of power could do if wielded by an expert.... it was saddening. Like seeing a construction project that would never be finished, or a half-eaten cake. Ah, well. If he wished to bring peace to this world then he would need to ignore such counterproductive feelings. The beast was an obstacle, nothing more.

With a thought, the detonator appeared in his hand, and he pressed the button. Instantly the mines he had placed all over the roof detonated, and Khaine rode the shockwave down. Even now the ceiling was cracking, and pieces of stone the size of busses were raining down from the sky. Weaving through the carnage on his chains Khaine made for the edge of the cavern as behind him he heard the catastrophe he had created unfolding. Within moments the bulk of the roof cracked and began sagging down, the initial pebbles being replaced by almost a solid wall of stone sliding downwards with the force to crush anything. Nothing mortal could survive that. And even the immortal beast would be trapped, until it was drained hollow by this place. Even such a mighty creature would be nothing more than a lump of meat without the will to act, the will to live.

Sliding into an open tunnel of decent size, Khaine spotted Diana and the bug-creature. Or at least half a bug-creature. Or maybe all of it in a single body? Khaine gave up. Bug creatures could not be so easily quantified.

With a slight nod at Diana he gestured, causing a wall of steel to block off the entrance. Just to be sure he placed some explosives as well, in case someone did decide to follow them. His trap wouldn't work at all if everyone could just leave. But with that done there was nothing to stop him from moving on, marching deeper into the cavern as he held his head with one hand. This place was sickening, and even he could not hold on indefinitely. How the dragon girl was holding up he would never know. Perhaps she was already broken, and taking her from this place would achieve nothing. Hpmph. It didn't matter. For now he could only keep moving forward.
