Mm!

[The sole acknowledgement, but Takame saw the idea. A click of the trigger and a cartridge spent, a layered crystal-like shield enveloped him with more than enough time to ensure Shroud's attack would only damage the enemy ranks instead of him.

Sure enough, they fell in no time to the powerful slash with Takame no worse for wear, save for being a few steps backwards to dull the blow.]

My thanks. [He took a moment to scope the surrounding area, seeing nothing in immediate proximity.]

... I believe we may proceed, unless you sense something I cannot.

[whiteshroud]

[Jun is a little relieved to see that the shield held out. With the monsters slain, he glances around to make sure he's not sensing any others in the immediate area.]

...No threats within fifty feet. We may proceed.

[hoshikiri]

Understood. [His shields have withstood massive bursts of Aether. He would not be a tank worth his salt if he didn't have the capability to block, though he knew had the attack been specifically targeted he would need to be more careful.

Shroud was on his side, luckily. He proceeded onwards, picking up the pace a little as he would rather get this done quickly. Indeed, with his keen sight and memory not a single time did they get caught at a dead end but as they got closer to the core of the maze, he noticed something.

Namely the skeleton flying overhead.]

Above. [Said aiming his blade skyward, ready to take a shot.]

[whiteshroud]

[Jun keeps moving along with him, managing to keep up with Takame's pace. It's a good thing that Takame is good with the directions, since Jun would probably struggle more with that.

But when a skeleton starts flying by, he knows what to do]

On it.

[He'll immediately teleport, reappearing again in the air near the skeleton. Without any hesitation, he'll swing his blade down on the monster, slicing it in half while he hovers in the air.

He teleports back down to the ground as the skeleton's bones rain upon them]

[hoshikiri]

[A neatly aimed Lightning Shot made the flying Skeleton's chances worse as it was sliced in two and blown to bits. Between the two of them it would have been smarter for it to run for its life. Afterlife? Yes.]

Hm. [What bones threaten to bonk him on the head are knocked away with his weapon. That was underwhelming.

He nodded to Shroud, lowering his weapon for now but not putting it away.]

... Let us proceed. I don't think our objective is far.

[whiteshroud]

[Jun will give a nod, brushing off some bone pieces that fell on his uniform]

Very well.

[He goes quiet as they continue, but he can't help but eventually voice]

I can't understand why this package would draw the interest of the undead.

[hoshikiri]

Nor can I. I did not think to question it at the time of taking this assignment.

[An aggravated twitch of his tail.]

I have a bad feeling about whatever it holds. [He was more than willing to find out what was in the bloody thing, but he didn't say that part aloud.]

[whiteshroud]

[He can't blame Takame for not questioning it, he didn't exactly have loads of questions either. But with the amount of undead involved with this...]

We should examine what the contents hold. I don't want to hand over anything that'd make things worse for the city.

[He's already made that mistake before. Never again]

[hoshikiri]

Agreed. If it is attracting the undead in such numbers, it may connected to strong magic. [He was using the logic of his realm, voidsent being drawn to sources of Aether, but it was still a possibility.]

[whiteshroud]

Most likely. The dead aren't usually this lively, in my experience.

[Is. Is that a joke? it's really hard to tell with his tone]
