153 The Ocean City Of Atlantis IV : Dungeons & Brothels (1/2)
A golden barrier had sprung up right behind us, obviously we couldn't go back from whence we came, so the only other option was to fight our way up. I've been in quite a few dungeons already, but this was the first time I've had tonight underwater, so it would be quite the experience if I do say so myself. We were within a grand hall of some sort, this place really did look like a church, there were clam shells arrange to form pews, and most of them were already in huge a sorry and dilapidated state, very much like the building we were currently in.
*Scrrrruuuuuujiiiiiiiiii*
The infernal screeching of the monsters in front of us almost made my ears bleed, heading it alone was quite disconcerting and it made me feel a little woozy and unsteady on my feet.
(You Have Heard The Wail Of An Ocean Dark Sentinel, You Have Acquired The Dazed Debuff)
Thankfully the debuff didn't last that long as Persephone streaked forward in he water, her from leaving behind tiny ice crystals and bubbles. Her daggers flashed as she cut it towards what looked like a floating cloak with transparent purple arms and yellow eyes that could be seen from within the confines of it's hood. But apart from that there was nothing else to show that this monster had a complete body, it was just like some ghost of wraith.
{Ocean Sentinel: Level 60/ Grade: Earth/ Hidden Grade: Ghost/ HP: 50/50}
Well that was quite weird, how can a level 60 monster, which if you ask me was just too strong for us to face have just 50 HP. Excluding the fact that said monster was about ten levels of more higher than me, it was just so ridiculous that it had such small HP. It just didn't make sense, a level 60 being such a glass Canon. I looked up just in time to see Persephone slash both her ice daggers on the sentinel's body.
(-1HP) (-1HP)
If my jaw could go any lower I would be picking it up from the ground, that amount of damage was abysmal, and I don't think those daggers she was using were anything ordinary, but yet it was as if the bloody thing was completely negating the damage being done to it, and only taking the hardest minimum as damage. No wonder a level 60 monster would have only 50HP.
(MANA ARROW)
I pointed Sky's staff form at the Sentinel, sending four magical arrows of piercing silver blue that slammed into the Sentinel one after the other. The monster let out a massive screech of pain as it floated backwards towards a set of stairs that would probably lead to the next floor. S it stepped back unraised my eyes up to see the damage values that was floating over it's head. (-3HP, -2HP, -2HP, -5Hp). All four strokes had delivered a 12 point damage, plus Persephone's previous 2 and that made for fourteen damage, which meant we still had 46 to get rid of.
The Sentinel was trying to escape, much to our surprise, but Persephone went around the monster, sheathing her daggers behind her as she pointed her hands towards the monster and sent a bolt of ice at the monster. It seemed as if it was more susceptible to magical damage than physical damage, so it would be better for Persephone to switch to mainly magical offense. However (-1HP), but by then it was too late to even be surprised.
*Puff-puff*
Two bolts of shimmering purple and black energy flew out of the Sentinel's hood and see into my chest one after the other. The first picked me off the ground and whilst I was airborne in a surprising show of skill, the other slammed into my chest, sending me flying back until my back smacked into the golden barrier that was over the entrance of the dungeon. I saw starts for a moment, loosing my clarity and also 10% of my HP, with each bolt taking 5% each. I felt a certain burn in my chest, but ignored it and rolled Way just in time to dodged the glimmering purple class that was coming down to take my head off.
I got out of my roll and raised Sky up, and without standing on ceremony released four more arrows, and this time since we were quite close, the impacts seemed to be a whole lot more as the Sentinel was pushed back across the open hall, going threw the clam pews before coming a stop releasing an ungodly screech of pain. On of the hits from the (mana arrow) was a critical hit, which took of 12HP from it, and the remaining three took out a collective 7HP. It now had 26 HP left.
”Elemental magic or physical attacks have no effect on it, you need to use none attribute magic, kind of like those arrows of yours. I don't have any skill like that, so I would only be able to provide support. You have to take point.” Persephone said to me as she moved back, leaving me right in front of the Sentinel's path.
(Mana Arrow) *Boom!, Boom! Boom! Boom!*
(You have slain Ocean Dark Sentinel level 60. +7% exp advancement, you have gained one Skill disk fragment.)
Well that was surprising, it was as if as soon as the Sentinel's HP got below 30, it's damage reduction ability was completely negated, and it left it susceptible to the full brunt of all my attacks. But none the less this was over and done with, and since I was the one at the from I was able to pick up the loots, of such there was only just one, a piece of metal the size of a rice grain, I wouldn't have even been able to notice it if it wasn't for the fact that it was glowing.
{SKILL DISK FRAGMENT 1/100}
I and no idea what skill was locked within it, but from the look of things I needed to kill a hundred of this Ocean Sentinels to be able to fully form the whole disk. I turned to look at Persephone and pointed towards the stairs that led to the next floor.
”Shall we?” she gave me a shrug as an answer and we made our way towards the back of the hall and up the set of stairs that was placed there. Onwards and upwards Captain Seven

ZARETH & RAVEN SONG
They were on a very time sensitive mission, which was why Raven song could not fathom how Zareth could go into a brothel and began banging the three moon elves that were the main attraction of the entire brothel. And it would be worth for Raven son to say that he was not sorely tempted about letting loose a bit and enjoying himself with one of the really beautiful displays of the carnal arts that quite a few people within the brothel seemed to be enjoying. But Raven song was and is for all intents and purposes a prude, the idea of sex outside of the confines of his and his wife's bedroom did not really sit well with him, not even if it was within a game.
