These dark sprites aren't even paying attention to you now and were in fact moving out of your way as if you were an obstacle. Which means that you have only one real choice. Glancing around your little rocky outcropping once more, hoping to perhaps see your sword but not finding it waste no more time, and jump off the ledge. You fall, not slowing your descent further into the Dark. The dark spirit-like beings, all ascending towards the rapidly fading sounds of battle above drift out of your way, clearing a path straight down into the blackness down below. You keep falling further and further, and as you do you begin hearing something. Almost like the roaring of a distant, colossal beast.
But as you keep falling the roaring becomes louder and louder, and you begin seeing flashes of white light down below. It doesn't radiate up or illuminate anything, but with each flash you see more and more of the dark spirits rising up and out of the dark from a titanic dark shape. But you barely have time to process what you're looking at, as you drop down a couple hundred yards from the colossus finally find the ground of this dark chasm and land with a crash.
“Tch!” you exhale, slamming your right fist down and shattering the ground as you land. The rocky floor breaks as your fist crushes it to break your fall, emerald aura illuminating a few feet around you. And the first thing you see, between you and the beast, is your sword! So, without hesitation you rise back up to your feet, and take up your weapon once more. Immediately channeling a bit of ki into the blade, it lights up with cerulean energy. But as you do, suddenly the roaring stops. And while you can't fully see it, you FEEL the Abyssal being's attention has suddenly and entirely focused on you. So, you clench the sword in both hands, and charge up a bit more energy into the blade to further illuminate the darkness. Revealing the single-largest foe you've ever faced. A dragon. A pitch-black dragon, its head large enough to devour the entire head of the Abyssal you'd fled from in a single bite. The beast is absolutely gargantuan, and for the first time in a long time, you feel really, really small.
<span class="mu-s">GRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAR</span>
The beast bellows, unleashing a roar of challenge as it once more creates a dozen or so of the Abyssal beings. But instead of sending them all up towards the angelic looking being above, now they all swarm directly towards you!
