At once, another large explosion reverberated through the cave. The size of the blast wasn't as big as the previous one, but it was still enough to annihilate those nearby. Out of the 10 that had jumped in, 7 were immediately eliminated. The only three that survived were Zoldith, Hashus, and Kang. They managed to dodge it before the others, but right now, the thought of losing crewmates wasn't even a bad thing. Why would it be? After all, the entire purpose of the exam, of getting this golden-tiered core, was for one person only.
As Zoldith and his crew backed up, the Kailion was impaled with a rain of stalactites. Most of them were small, but since it was such a big target they landed anyways. Many failed to penetrate through its tough skin, but a few large stalactites dug into its wings, causing them to be stuck to the floor. At that moment Zoldith saw Lyrian and Arthur ahead of their groups, dashing toward the Kailion for the kill.
