If not for the abundant Fint Crystals, it might have been impossible to see what was around. Ess estimated that they were about five thousand meters kilometers below ground. The temperature teased this fact. The density of Fint grew by leagues as well. It was crushing. For a regular human, it would have been impossible to withstand these conditions for even a minute.
Ess wasn't infallible. He coated his body with Fint, as did Curse. The Clean Rider patted his giant bat's head and had it fly back to the surface. It didn't seem capable of handling the harsh atmosphere.
The rest of the Clean Rider vehicles led by the buggy with the rat were almost upon by the time the bat took flight. Curse turned to Ess.
