Cedric turned to his group, then raised six fingers, signaling that there were six creatures not too far away.
Both Aurora and Celeste, who had been looking at him tensely, nodded in unison. He then turned and resumed moving, and cautiously, the others continued onwards as well toward the Heralds. However, rather than walking closely together, they spaced themselves out to be able to use their skills without getting in each other's way.
When they were just a few spires away from the circle of monsters, a notification appeared in Cedric's vision:
[The character Queen Celeste has activated her exclusive skill: Demon Queen's Chains.]
Out of the corner of his eye, Cedric watched Celeste some meters away. It seemed that since they could not speak, Lilith had probably begun mentally chanting, seeing as the temperature around Celeste's massive form began to spike, followed by ten whips of red flames that began to slowly flicker into existence around her.
