77 Master Assassin Chrysalis (1/2)

Rahz and the others had already experienced the taunts of the voice so many times that it was just another day at the office for them. They continued down the hallway with smiles on their faces while the exasperation of the voice ratified their decision to just go down for a couple more hallways before turning back towards the entrance to receive the mode change.

At the end of the hall there was a circular room and the light they saw from time to time in the distance before actually came from a merry go around type of challenge with four columns that discharge lightning b.a.l.l.s at three different heights bottom, middle,and the top. This setup made sure that the warrior had to walk to the other side in between columns that move around like a revolving door. The challenge was relatively simple as mode 001 was an introductory level and the speed of the columns was on the slow side. Despite all this, it still required good timing from the challenger as walking a little slow would get them hit by the lightning door moving forward from the back and if they went too fast you would be hit by the lightning in the front.

This time around, the tailless Midori refused to go first and the responsibility fell on Ridd.i.c.k who just sneered at Midori for not stepping up.

Ridd.i.c.k waited for a couple of seconds and stepped in between the lightning doors before walking along the revolving room leisurely to the otherside. Ridd.i.c.k was pretty pleased with himself as he managed to show off in front of the others in what looked like a extremely easy challenge but it all changed when the feeling of impending doom a.s.sailed him all of the sudden.

Chin .. chin .. chin

Ridd.i.c.k activated his s.h.i.+eld as quickly as he could to stop whatever was coming his way but if it wasn't for the sound of the attacks. .h.i.tting his s.h.i.+eld, n.o.body would have been able to tell that something was trying to kill Ridd.i.c.k while he was going through the lightning door.

Ridd.i.c.k believed that he had managed to stop the trap successfully and continue to move through the revolving door but he realized very soon that it was not the case. There was pain coming from the right side of his body and both his right arm and right leg were not responding to his command to move.

”HE...HELP!!!”

Ridd.i.c.k use all his willpower to move his leg forward but he could barely lifted.

The called for help woke everyone up and Elune cast 3 spells back to back. Eidolic Ward, Cure Ailments, and Nature's Healing. As Ridd.i.c.k limped forward to keep up with the lightning device, he looked at his right arm and saw two star like objects buried deep inside his skin.

RAWWRR

Ridd.i.c.k screamed in Rage as he used his left hand to take them out. The moment he removed them, the outstanding vitality of the demon race kick in and repair the damage.

Clink.. Clink.. Clink

More and more of this star looking objects kept hitting both s.h.i.+elds and dropping to the ground. Thanks to Elune's Elementium Flower, wards kept coming none stop keeping Ridd.i.c.k from receiving further damage and buying time for the team to react to the new treat.

The enraged Ridd.i.c.k started dropping Chaos Fire on the hallway he was heading to, but it hit noone. Rahz saw the trouble his best friend was in and started to panic, without thinking it twice he jump in the next s.p.a.ce available in the revolving lightning doors and head it after Ridd.i.c.k.

Rahz had a bad feeling about the situation and flashbacks of the moment Legolas appeared behind his father and stabbed him in the heart kept popping in his mind.

Ridd.i.c.k managed to get off the artifact and walk in 5 ft before sitting down to take care of the star like objects in his legs. Blood kept flowing down but at least he was finally on the other side and it look like there was no more traps for the moment. Ridd.i.c.k kept his s.h.i.+eld up just to be safe but the one provided by Elune was dissipating and there was no way to get another as Elune was still in the other hallway.

Rahz was starting to lose it while moving along the lightning carousel, as the rage was building up, his eyes started to flash red in color and the images of the people that die defending Helgahvall kept flas.h.i.+ng through.

ARGGHH!!

Rahz Energy was increasing at a rapid pace, and it was blinking in and out of existence outside his body.
