Toz ran across the ground for only a bit before sensing something that made him smile. He didn't have to go far before he found a trace of the cats. Unfortunately, they were too far down for him to be able to do anything to reach them at the moment.
At least, Toz couldn't break through the ground on his own. But now that the tunnel system was close enough that the interference it had on their bond didn't work, Toz could coordinate with the cats to break through the ground. But they had to be fast since the storm was quickly closing the distance to Toz.
So, without any intentions of delaying, Toz immediately began levying attacks of fire, lightning, metal, space, and void toward the ground. Darkness wasn't very efficient at destroying the ground, especially not when compared to the effects of Dissolution. Combined with the efforts of the cats, Toz quickly pierced through the ground and reached his companions.
