1257 Fighting Fire with Fire

Emblazoned across the red shield, Han Sen noticed the faint outline of a fish. It was like a shark, but it was even more fearsome looking than that. Behind the head of this image, there was a tentacle-like limb that reached over. From this tentacle, something hung.

Han Sen thought it was a human hanging from the tentacle. It was quite the unnerving picture.

The aquatic monster's outline was large, and it encompassed the entire altar that was behind it, like some wretched sentinel.

"Is this an image of the King of the Blood River?" Han Sen wondered, as the trio were slashing against the barrier that repelled their attempts to attack the third statue. Now, they acknowledged their power was not enough.

The shield had ten gene locks powering it, that much was for sure. Ordinary powers weren't going to scratch it, let alone cut through it.
