Bursting outside, Aether summoned and let go of Lilith as he turned to face the monster, which followed them outside. Glancing towards Freedom, the moment he saw his eyes, he realized what he needed to do.
As the monster took its first step, Aether launched his chains, wrapping them around its arms and pulling them to its chest, as Lilith dashed forward, his marks fully charged for a body shot. But as he was about to deliver it, he noticed something moving inside its stomach, so he backed away at the last second as another arm appeared.
'It can make more limbs?' He frowned, watching as it broke his chains with a powerful pull, turning to go after Lilith.
Summoning Voidpiercer, Aether stepped in, blocking its claws with his blade, but the monster was stronger than he had expected, flinging him into the ground as he barely deflected its attack, and giving Lilith an opening that he took to punch it right in the stomach.
