The dark water of the lake churned as Erik and his clones explored it. Having slaughtered most of the thaids, Erik and the clones moved through the murky depths in safety at that point.
A week passed since the battle with the azure thaid. In the days following the battle, Erik and the clones spent theirw time and energy searching the lake, and Erik made more and more clones to speed up the process.
He made both Chimaeric Demons and Dark Shapes. The Chimaeric Demons required time to mature, but would be more powerful than their weaker brothers. But given that the Dark Shapes reached combat readiness almost immediately, they were far more useful than the Chimaeric Demons.
The lake now belonged to Erik and his creatures, who filled its waters. The Dark Shapes swept through the area, killing any remaining thaid and searching for a way to enter the Silverline Corporation's laboratory without blasting the place open.
