Seal of Light - Enlightened

Mat and Rigs dashed forward to the location of the explosion.

Mat recalled the quick leaping technique to Rigs, and they practiced it occasionally on their way charging it with a bit of power from their half-lit seal, giving them a boost of distance in a matter of seconds.

“What’s with the monk attire Rigs?”

“Oh this, I was covering a news report for an Anime Convention. Last thing I recalled, I saved a couple of kids from a falling Light Ballast, and then, here I am, waking inside that black pillar, until you came to rescue me.”

“Look Rigs, another pillar, I think we should make a brief stop and check if someone is in there.”

“Alright Mat, you lead, I’ll follow.”

Mat pressed his back against a giant boulder and slightly peeked to the black pillar that is being guarded by a pack of shadow hounds. Rigs sat next to Mat and sneaked a quick look on the opposite side.

Rigs counted as he takes another look to the direction of the black pillar. “Mat, there are two guarding ghost doggies out there.”

“I noticed it too Rigs, but I need to know how to activate this seal again. We can’t fight against those shadow hounds with our bare hands?”

“They won’t eat us Mat,I guess, we make crappy dog food.”

“Hahaha, I agree to you on that Rigs.”

“Mat, you said awhile ago that your seal lit up when you were about to rescue me from the pillar, maybe it would automatically activate when you decided to do something, maybe there is a connection to our thoughts or feelings?” Rigs said while looking at his seal on his right arm.

“I really don’t have a clue Rigs, I don’t know when it will light up or does it even respond to my will?” Mat said while pressing his right arm where his seal is located.

“One thing is for sure, there is someone inside that pillar that needs to be saved.” Rigs said as he took another look to the pillar.

“So what’s the plan Mat?” Rigs said while making a crunching sound with his pressed knuckles.

“We have to move closer to the pillar. We will jump in on both directions challenging the hounds, whoever lures both will have to buy time for the extraction from the black pillar. If the hounds separated then it would be a one on one battle.”

“Got it,” Rigs quickly ran towards the black pillar alarming the two guarding shadow hounds. He noticed his seal lit up, with a witty grin, a whip made of light extended four meters from his clenched fist.

Rigs swung his ki-whip and entangled the rear legs of the shadow hound and threw it behind him.

The shadow hound landed a bad fall in front of Mat.
