It wasn't that Saef wouldn't have engaged his opponent in conversation. No, it was always a good idea to learn what you could about the guy you were trying to kill. And a good reputation was a tool to be sharpened or used when the opportunity arose. No the problem was that Khaine had done the same thing to talk that he would have done to attack.

The instant the flaming Demon exited his portal the spells surrounding Saef activated. Half of the orbs of light erupted forth as lances of energy. Each one was several times stronger than the reworked spells earlier. They were also much more focused and had less water to travel through. All in all it probably wasn't one of Khaine's more pleasant teleports.

It certainly didn't help that the Thaumaturge was gone almost instantly, his velocity now about as high as it could go while still allowing for agile changes in direction. He took half a second to take stock of the battlefield as he swam.

Below them his platoon was busy fighting off hordes of deep sea monsters. The giant snake above seemed to have lost interest and was now slithering away. To where he wasn't sure. Over towards the center of the city several of the champions from different sides had decided to start a battle of the titans. A glance answered why they would bother fighting the kaiju at all. A golden glow shone out through the inky blackness surrounding the monster. Chances were sadistically good that that was where the staff had been hiding this whole time.
