"The land itself shifted!" Levin Cloud shouted and the huge dirt mound suddenly formed into a huge mouth that tried to swallow everyone whole.
They did not even notice that the land shifted to make them travel faster to the dirt mound. They were already under the influence of the corrupted god fragment the moment they entered the Ancient Nao Grotto. The fact that they did not feel the ground shifting can only be the influence of the mystic powers of a god fragment.
The large dirt mound transformed into a giant mouth that wanted to swallow them whole. Peridot did not let this happen as the earth element crystal that her weapon possessed suddenly gathered all the earth elemental energy that she can. She then shot the crystal towards the dirt mound mouth and the energy that the crystal contained suddenly spread out towards it.
