Vaelor raised a hand and called for the blood swords.
Not one responded.
They were all sealed inside the golden cage, undergoing the judgment of holy light.
Just as Andona prepared to tighten the cage, a high-speed blast of compressed air shot toward them from the distance.
Namyanna was the first to sense the disturbance beneath the sea. Before the projectile even broke the surface, she raised a hand and created a massive vacuum around Andona and Ataneya.
The compressed air burst from the water and flew straight at Andona.
It slowed rapidly upon entering the vacuum, but instead of continuing along its original path, it forcibly changed direction in midair. It curved around Andona and headed for the golden cage holding the blood swords.
Bang!
The blast struck the outside of the cage.
Golden light shuddered violently, and a gap tore open at one of its joints. The blood swords seized the opportunity and escaped the holy light's suppression.
