Manifesting another pair of daggers, Ren glanced around for a moment, not surprised upon seeing the approaching main cast.
The most obvious reason why Lily could be here was to stall him, so he was already prepared.
Manifesting six tentacles, Ren allowed them to emerge from his back before embedding themselves in the part of the obsidian door that was right behind him.
Making the tentacles pierce deeper and deeper into the obsidian door, Ren leaned down and prepared to propel himself toward the gap.
Calculating the exact angle, velocity, and distance that he needed to go, Ren stood for a moment before confirming that he had everything correct.
Angling himself toward the upper left corner of the gap, Ren de-manifested the corrupted dagger, causing the light within the underground to vanish.
Behind him, Alya, noticing the disappearance of the light, yelled.
"IT'S STARTED."
