Chapter 83: {Dance Of Duels 2}

In Haven's sewage network, 150 ris He could not see in the dark, but he could generate enough light froround

Specifically, he was inside a huge rectangular pit of soes of the pit were severalabove was made of stained reinforced concrete and decorated with a network of pipes Several large pipes yawned open towards the pit

The conflicting dual s antiseptic chemicals filled his nostrils

Darius knehere he was The sewers

"Ah, so you have made it here, as was previously planned," ca underneath the voice, as if some part of it was uttered from under the sea

Darius immediately looked at the end of the pit to see…to see…

What the fuck was that?

It was a tall, lanky, huure, maybe about six foot four (193 cm) with sliers were long and prehensile like little tendrils, and its face was ree, bulbous, nerve wreathed head, three beady red, square pupiled eyes, and a mouth that ended in several curled tentacles

"A mutant class are you?" said Darius "You soed up froht you? Dearmy body for violence And I am no mercenary, such an occupation is far too brutish for ht? You are sorely ht This is an execution, and I a fucking words Let's see if you live up to theether and fired a coma at the mutant

The octopus mutant stood calers interlocked together, as the e-red barrier that becama hissed as it spilled over the barrier, unable to penetrate it

"Curious," said theyour body into an entirely different element

Functionally, you are quite sima Elementals, but unlike them, you are not a forhly human, too This defies the Theory of Elee Velenthel wrote of…"

"Forcefield?" Darius droned out the octopusand i to find out what tech he was using, but thetechnology Just robes that looked like they belonged to a medieval reenactment fair

That meant that most likely, the mutant's poas linked to the forcefield

Darius, however, did not want to waste too ht him, then he would just melt his way up to the surface He looked up and jumped, but as soon as he tried to leave the filth caked floor of the pit, he felt hiht back down to it, anchored to the surface by some invisible force

"I told you, did I not, this is an execution," said the octopus mutant "The noose is already tied to your neck There is no stepping away froallows at this point, I aonna sit there and talk me to death?" said Darius He looked down to see as holding him but could not find any discernable hints What he did notice with a fair amount of surprise was that the floor beneath hie barrier seemed to be wrapped around all the points of contact between Darius and the ground, preventing it fro

"This your power!?" said Darius

"Power? I suppose you could say that, yes," said the o into specifics, for as a dead e This is a spell called [Flae resistance

In this case, it prevents you froe speci upwards"

"Antlion!?" Darius had no idea what the mutant talked about with spells, but he did knohat an Antlion was

With its extreravitational field, it prevented anyone fro a pit it nested within And because the entire pit here was reinforced with the mutant's barrier, Darius could not melt his way down to kill the Antlion either

"So what!?" Darius shouted "You've trapped me here, but what else can you do?"

Darius had a better understanding of where he was in Haven's sewage systes Specifically, he was inside a large treatet purified and transported to be reused for fertilizer or biomass
