BaconHaving chosen to go deeper into the lair of what may be a queen of spiders, the webbing along the walls got predictably thicker, often Wrath would find himself jumping down web pits to advance, but pretty soon he was seeing spider eggs in large droves. Soon he jumped down into what appeared to be a kind of large domed antechamber.
He can feel it, this room, or rather, the room beyond held immense power, could the seal be beyond there...? No, the Seals held a different kind of atmosphere, different to power. Though now may not be the time to have such thoughts. The sound of crinkling and gnashing caught his attention as he turned to see the back of what he recognizes as a Broodmother, one of Silitha's. Though Silitha herself is dead, it seems her children still thrived in unknown parts of the world, such as this one. As the Broodmother turned to face the new invader, Wrath began to notice this particular Broodmother, did not look like an ordinary one. Though most features stayed the same, it's legs were longer, as it spread out, and it's features were more sleek. It was beginning to look a little like Silitha.
The Broodmother gave a shrill cry before small broodlings began to hatch from the myriad eggs from the edges of the room and attempted to swarm this unwelcome invader.
The Assaults may be demons that can give even seasoned demon hunters among the DHO a hard time in a group, but Akoni in his age and wisdom, and blessed with a powerful arsenal of magic, but Assaults were not the best thinkers. Whatever attack they threw at the four gates and Stygian Eyes combination resulted in failure, their two-dimensional methods were not working. As Akoni simply waited for them to tear themselves apart, a Chimera-infested Assault managed to leap over the gates and into the opening above, but as soon as Akoni had noticed it, the familiar sound of SMGs roaring pelted the demon out of the air, dusty leafy debris flying from it as the Chimera infesting the Assault was clearly killed before the Assault was.
It was not a difficult fight, Assaults were mere fodder to them, even Henry would find them easy, despite his age and experience. Still they were now onto the next order of business. There was a path before them, one they found before this mess, it was either follow this road mostly hidden by the jungle and time, or wander aimlessly yet again.
With the angels routed, their commander and some of the men killed and sent to a watery grave. It was true what Souta had stated, they will be back, although in how great a number was up for debate, the entire jungle was filled with angels and demons duking it out, they would be a little hard pressed to find sufficient reinforcements. Still, it was more likely that there would be more later down. The path along the lake led well into the ruins up ahead, somewhat shrouded by the jungle, but amidst the thickets they could see moss-ridden stone structures almost hidden.
After cleaning themselves up and going on their way, they following the path eventually came to the ruins, gate wide upon, it seems they were in what appeared to be a ceremonial building, if the markings on the outside and some of the statues hidden away by the overgrowth were to be believed, although right now it was more an atrium than a building, as the roof was destroyed, giving way to seeing the jungle canopy, green and small pockets of light shining through.
After entering the center of the entrance hall, they realized that this was a building part of a complex, much like shopping malls, but this was less a shopping mall and more like a temple.
There were a few ways to go, they can cut through the ruins towards the center, where their target likely lay, or they can examine these ruins further, as there seemed to be some minor detours, plus looking into these ruins may gleam them some information that can help them. Fenn did not have a strong scent here of Sevrin, but he could smell some of it, he was definitely here at some point before them. There was not quite a trail, but maybe they can find one if he really was here.
