Elithira landed back down just as Ty finished skillfully removing the head of the Yami King, while Sogetsu plunged his sword through the Yami King's chest.
A flood of blank-colored orbs began to pour from the headless Yami King, who had broken off a small chunk of himself and transformed it into a snake small enough to escape through the cracking ground. Sogetsu screamed out, "No! Not this time!" before a throbbing pain in his chest made him drop the sword. The sword spoke out, "Don't strain yourself too much."
"It's okay. I think we have bigger problems to worry about," The sword said as a huge section of the castle began to crumble and cave in, tumbling over, inching away from crushing Sogetsu and his sword.
With a gasping breath, he stated, "Shit," before crossing his arms above his head, closing his eyes, and bracing for the worst. Silence broke through as Elithira swooped in, Catching the large crumbling piece of the castle, and throwing it to the side.
