Moments before the inevitable...

"Alright, you guys know the plan, so go!"

[Oooh!]

Realizing that carrying all of Gold tiered swords by themselves was an absolutely terrible idea, Zhen Liu had summoned several amphibious zakos to carry the blades out of the underwater tunnel.

He was a little worried that the blades would act up in the presence of the zakos, but that turned out to be unwarranted. The zakos managed to hold the swords without causing any adverse reactions, but the damn things were a pain to carry without their sheaths. Regardless, once Zhen Liu saw off the last of the zakos, he returned to the main cavern where Lythero was standing guard.

"Okay, that's the last of the swords. Now we gotta go."
