Crrrck!
The sound of the ground breaking apart echoed throughout the first stage as the earth shook uncontrollably.
On Morrighan's magic screen was the image of a fissure that branched out from the aperture.
The fissure formed in the earth and was headed right for Izroth's party. And, at its current rate, it would reach them in less than five seconds!
"Something's tunneling towards us! Everyone spread out and get ready! I'll build aggro the moment it shows itself!" Niflheim stated as he positioned himself to be on a direct collision course for the opening fissure.
At the same time, Izroth and the remaining party members moved a few meters away from Niflheim.
As the party's tank, Niflheim had to ensure that he was the primary target. There was no telling how much damage whatever emerged would do, and out of everyone present, he had the greatest chances of surviving.
