Minutes later...
"What the hell is this?"
After they made their descent down the red earth of the ravenous mountains, Serena took the lead in explaining exactly what they had co across, as even Guardian Flaborn was looking around this Entropic Domain while trying to understand exactly what had happened.
"This is a Rift as basic as they co, with a few hundred Initiate Entropic Beasts inside of it, only a dozen of them being Tier III, but why is it that even now..."
She raised her head as she looked around the distant twisting red earth and malford mountains alongside the dead trees that seed to be howling chaos and entropy. From them, her yells had actually drawn over multiple Entropic Beasts.
And when they all looked at them, all of these beasts had the sa apathetic eyes as the ones they had co across before. And undoubtedly, their levels of Entropic Energy were at Tier III.
"...Why is it that only these little shits at Tier III keep coming out? Man, why are all the annoying things happening one after another? It’s like bad luck is raining down since yesterday!"
Guardian Flaborn was more than annoyed as behind her, Damian stayed absolutely quiet while he continued to sense the changes in Kitsuul.
Her eyes were currently sparkling with a terrifying silver luminosity, and even this was her continuing to veil everything. For the past minutes, the rate at which the invisible pure Entropic Energy was flowing in had only increased.
Damian felt like her body was reaching a critical level, and her communications toward him were extrely happy.
She was telling him that she felt like, with all of these waves of pure energy, she would undergo a growth spurt soon.
A growth spurt.
Would she be able to attain an older form after all this?
Damian was half expectant and cautious, because he still did not understand the intricacies of the why behind all of this.
So he was happy that Kitsuul was growing much stronger this quickly, but he was also trying to figure out what her connection and specialness was regarding Entropic Domains like this.
"Ah well, you all get out first. I’ll clear this place up a bit and then see if we can get so of our Scientists down here with their gadgets to try and understand exactly what changed. We will pick another Rift for you all to dive in today after we get this handled..."
She dismissed them as the Trial Guardians looked at each other and followed orders without asking too much.
And Damian wanted to stay for as long as possible, as he was almost about to raise his voice to ask if it would be okay for them to stay behind for now, to observe as she battled against the Entropic Beasts.
But...
BZZT!
Arcs of purple light buzzed behind him as, in the next mont, the figure of Alex was flung back alongside his Winged Peacock Lion.
He was the first to try and leave through the sa portal that they had walked in on, and yet at this mont...
"The Rift Portal... rejected !"
He spoke with an incredulous expression as all the Trial Guardians and Guardian Flaborn looked at him and beca stern.
Guardian Flaborn beca utterly serious as she called out.
"Lyra."
She only spoke a na, but it was clear what she wanted to test out. In the next mont, Lyra turned to look at Damian before she walked toward the Rift Portal and raised her hand out first to pass through it.
And...
BZZT!
Arcs of purple light bounced her hand away, as shockingly, she could not go through.
She could not go through.
"What is this..."
The expressions of the Trial Guardians gradually beca ashen.
This was sothing they had never heard of nor experienced before.
Even Guardian Flaborn no longer made any jokes or shouted as she went toward the portal herself and proceeded to raise her hand toward it as—
BZZT!
And the sa result occurred.
"..."
An imnse silence descended.
Nobody spoke.
A Rift Portal, rejecting them from going through it.
Such a thing had never happened before in history as far as they knew.
And at the sa ti as this occurred, around this chaotic red earth filled with malford trees and ravines of mountains, an eerie silence spread. As they turned toward where the Entropic Beasts were silently gathering, they saw that even more of them had arrived and were staring at them in an eerie silence.
They did not roar. They did not bellow, nor did they growl.
They only stared at them with apathetic eyes filled with no emotions, as more and more seed to co out of the crevices of the red mountains.
"What is this...?"
Even the voice of Serena shook as she asked.
Then Damian beca stern as he rapidly communicated with Kitsuul, but apart from her automatically drawing in energy, she said that she wasn’t particularly doing anything else.
Guardian Flaborn beca utterly serious as she turned to face the silent beasts in the distance.
"Sothing unknown has occurred. As of this mont, we operate under Ergency Protocols."
...!
Flas began to blaze around her.
Her Flaming Eagle Archaeopteryx moved ahead as it looked like a bastion of a towering beast that could not be taken down by anything.
And the voice of the only true Guardian here continued to echo out.
"Stay around at all tis, and follow every order the second that I give it. At least whatever happened happened in this Basic Entropic Rift, and the only beasts within are Initiate Entropic Beasts. After I clear them, we will see if things chang—!"
Her words stopped.
Damian felt his heart skip a beat.
He looked up as he followed Kitsuul’s gaze.
Guardian Flaborn and the others also looked up.
And there.
In the dreary crimson skies of this Domain that were covered by murky clouds that allowed nothing to be seen...
There, it looked like the crimson skies began to tear, and from them, waves of Entropic Energy began to leak.
As if the very skies were leaking.
And alongside this leak...
ROAAR!
A booming roar echoed out as an Entropic Beast Behemoth bigger than any of the ones they had seen so far ca out.
It looked like a massive purple-scaled... Anaconda.
With bony wings sprouting on its back.
And rings of purple flas circling its serpentine body.
And no.
It was not an Initiate Entropic Beast.
