The floor rumbled and cracked, prying open to reveal a crimson abyss. The skeletons, and all those not protected by Lucius's solar field, were swallowed whole. In exchange, blood began to bubble out of the cracks.
Eilphyr stared at the blood in satisfaction, as it rose and took a humanoid form. A crimson creature, nine feet tall, with nothing but a set of eyes on its face, came to being.
Lucius could barely sense the creature, it was as if it had no energy presence whatsoever. He could only detect it because of the scent of blood that clung to its body.
However, it wasn't the only thing with a negligible energy presence. Eilphyr had spent all its energy summoning that thing, and Lucius could sense Eilphyr's weakness like a shark in bloodied waters.
He sent his shadows after Eilphyr, grabbing its arms and legs, just as it did with Ghost.
"Morrghul, destroy that creature's core," Eilphyr said, staring at Lucius's cacoon with unconcerned eyes.
