Y's move was so fast I only saw its after image. He struck with his sword edge up right into the disgusting creature, then swung up slicing the beast in two halves that slowly parted ways revealing the monster's innards.
"More come, care..." spoke Y as he was readying to fight.
I took a few steps back as many more of the same mole rat creature rose up like a hydra around us.
They dove into our midst, but Y twisted around himself with his extended swords, slicing them apart and away.
The creatures squirmed and squealed as they were thrown and culled away from the platform.
"They live still!" spoke Y, and I was surprised to hear him say something against what I was seeing. They were all mortally wounded, live still is a correct statement, but that's only momentary.
Until I was proven wrong when I saw the first creature that we split in half slowly mending its body back.
And not only that one, but the others that have been cut apart by Y also seemed to mend back onto themselves and are coming back for more.
"Ah," having finally understood Y's words I started acting.
I pulled a talisman from my pouch and blew into it. A reinforced poison breath is affected by the inscription on the talisman.
A powerful gust of green poison shot forward and collided with the creature.
The beast at first didn't understand the gravity of the situation it was in as it was being assaulted by copious amounts of poison, and only when the talisman in my hand turned to ash did it finally realize what was happening to it.
Its body began melting from the outside and the poison was rapidly spreading into its vital organs.
"Burn," I muttered in a low voice and the acidic poison surged in a green hellfire, turning the beast into a living torch that was feeding its own flames by the beast's flesh and bones.
The creature squirmed and squealed, as it was being roasted alive, it brunt brighter the more it struggled and burnt stronger every time it tried to snuff the flames using its own Qi.
This poison combo was something I devised after the encounter with the Grizzly Spider Poison. The incendiary nature of the poison was hard to replicate since I was not in contact with that poison in real life. However, after adding the incendiary inscription to the poison I used, it was easy to turn it into flames. The only thing added to the acidic poison was my own Heart Flame and the Breath Sealing Poison.
The inscription worked in a way to allow the poison to take up in flames while the Breath Sealing Poison would absorb the enemy's own Qi to further fuel the fires surrounding it.
This was in some sense, Greek Fire, only worse.
The creature's body started melting, and the beasts around it seemed to realize that their immortality against blades was rather laughable when they can be burnt to a crisp.
A couple of the creatures wanted to test out their luck as they charged me, only to be struck down as Y sliced into one of them, and then grabbed the other and shoved one of his swords into its head and against its monster ally. He then shoved the sword with the two creature's heads impaled on it, into the ground.
I turned to the two creatures, raised up a new talisman and blew another gout of poison at them.
Once the poison latched onto the two creatures, Y pulled back his sword and kicked the two creatures away.
"Burn!" I spoke and the two creatures rose up in flame and so did Y's sword.
However, since Y's sword was made of Neutron Steel metal, the acidic nature of my poison had no effects on it, and he seemed to be enjoying the sight of a sword burning bright green.
Y then shot forward at one of the creatures severing its head from the torso, and the beast immediately died. The green heart flame seemed capable of immediately searing and cauterizing the wound, not allowing the beasts to regenerate.
"X, bring the flame thrower!" I spoke and my second puppet came out, though I didn't have any flame throwers installed on X, he seemed to understand what I wanted him to do.
X slapped on the side of his hips, summoning two rocket launchers, after taking note of all the targets around us, he shot the rockets that went up, then all came down, twenty-four separate rockets came like a rainfall towards the creatures around us.
I pulled my hoverboard immediately and stepped on its defensive barrier right before the rockets would fall.
And just as the barrier rose up, flames, light and explosions capable of tearing down a small city blew up against the platform we were on.
The Qi protective barrier would allow us survival, but I would probably not be betting my life on the platform I'm standing on.
And immediately I began feeling the platform breaking.
"Y, we're going down," I said. Because my goal was to go down anyway.
As soon as the platform fully broke, I pocketed the hoverboard, Z, and called back X into my poison god's book.
Y managed to grab a hold of me and easily place me on his shoulder as we were falling down. Though Y seemed to be more than comfortable while free falling than I would give anyone without wings credit for.

Y didn't seem too worried as he stepped on a falling rock, and jumped to the next one. All laws of physics going through my mind right now are screaming at how illogical this was, but remembering that I'm sitting on the back of a puppet that has an inscription for brain made me forget about logic and enjoy the fantastical feeling.
Y jumped from rock to rock and made it back to the pillar that was holding the platform we just broke. He then twisted his body, where his face was now facing the far, far away, and very dark looking deep chasm, and began literally running down the pillar.
"Why are you running?!" I asked, "We can't see how far the ground is, we'll smash face first!" I shouted.
"No lord, I have already estimated how far the distance is, and if we are slower than the falling rocks, they will destroy whatever you sent Z to look for."
Y's words immediately made sense. Z was fast, so fucking fast that even it took a lot of time to go all the way down and up, that means that the distance was pretty damn far. So there was no need to worry about crashing, the problem was that our act earlier might destroy the remains of the Thunderbull.
"Alright, keep on moving then," I said as we approached the dark.
It didn't take much longer for Y to start slowing down his full sprint.
"Master Hold on tight," he said and just as I did, he twisted his body to now face the pillar and pulled two of his swords then stabbed them right into the pillar.
The blades were sharp, sharp enough that they weren't able to immediately halt our fall even if we seemed to be far slower, we were still sliding down.
Seeing the two blades unable to halt our descent, Y pulled two more swords with his other hands and stabbed them, causing even more sparks to fly as we were jerked and skidded down further.
He then used his feet and the speed of our fall came to a slow then abrupt halt.
What was amazing wasn't Y's actions to stop us, what was amazing was the fact that our stop was not even a meter away from the ground as exposed by the Y's mask, as his mask's demonic eyes were bright blue and seemed to light up the ground.
"Master, the falling platform will arrive in a few seconds, we better hurry," he said.
"Noted, if push comes to shove, turn the debris to dust," I said.
"As you command," he said then his face shot up gazing upon the falling rocks soon to come.
I snapped my fingers summoning a small heart flame orb that lit not more than a few meters around me.
On the ground, it was musky, dark, and stinky. Perhaps the years that these creatures spent here, their feces, and whatever else they digested and ate were all over this place, no wonder it's so moist and disgusting.
The light from the Heart Flame gave me slight visibility and my own divine sense completed the visual. There was a lot of human remains here and some bones that seemed to be too big to be of any natural animal.
There were full skeletons of Dark Beasts all over the place. I wonder what happened to them, and where did these ugly ass creatures come from.
As I was wondering, my divine sense seemed to have caught on to something shiny.
I approached the source of the object and my lips seemed to widen until it became a full-blown grin.
"Found it!" I yelped as I was able to locate the chariot that was left behind by the Creedless ages and ages ago.
It was also not fully destroyed, it had some damage on it, and the soul signature from the Thunderbull seemed to be far too weak, but not dead. It was still salvageable.
Suddenly, the sound of explosions echoed, fearing the worst I was readying to fight, only to realize that the sounds were coming from above me.
Flashes and sparks lit up the place to reveal Y slicing apart the falling debris into bits and pieces that he flung far away from us.
"I'm lucky to have gotten Y back. Well now..."
"Automaton," I spoke and a small child-like puppet came out of a manifested portal.
The administrator of the lord of lords pagoda came over.
"Can you grab the remains of this Thunderbull?" I asked.
"Yes, of course," he spoke and immediately the whole area around the bull seemed to slowly disappear.
I know that the automaton is fully capable of Spatial Law, but his mastery over this law is impressive, not only is he capable of opening spatial portals at will, but he is capable of taking in and out entire cities at will.
I'll need to ask him more about Spatial Laws in hope of improving my own understanding.
