77 Master Assassin Chrysalis (2/2)

Everything happened really fast or really slow depending on their distance to the series of events, for Elune that was looking from a distance it took a sec, but for Rahz and Ridd.i.c.k it took an eternity.

All Elune saw was Rahz throwing his Axe at Ridd.i.c.k and hitting the wall close to his head before he rushed forward in his bloodl.u.s.t state with his knife at the ready.

Clink..Clink

From Ridd.i.c.k's perspective, there was nothing in the hallway and he was confident that if more of this star devices came his way the 2 s.h.i.+elds that were currently on him could ensure his survival, so all his attention was in removing the foreign object in his legs. As Elune's Ward dissipate three things happened at the same time, the door of lightning in front of Rahz started to open towards Ridd.i.c.k's hallway as a wisp of Dark Smoke started to materialize close to Ridd.i.c.k and the energy going out of control outside Rahz's body went inside and Bloodl.u.s.t activated.

The moment the door opened towards the hallway where Ridd.i.c.k was healing, Rahz saw the familiar scene of a black figure materializing while grabbing the sword by their waist ready to strike in one swift motion. Thanks to the Bloodl.u.s.t, Rahz was able to react in time and threw his Axe with both hands at the shadow. The Axe traveled so fast it looked like it warped besides the shadow that had to cancelled his attack and activated a defensive skill.

The axe cut through the smoke left behind by Master Chrysalis and bounce off the wall three inches above Ridd.i.c.ks head. Rahz immediately took out his knife and rush in, while an undead fade into existence 20 feet away from Ridd.i.c.k further down the hallway.

Seeing Rahz reaching the side of his prey the Undead clad in a black attire flip backwards a couple of times rapidly while sending Star looking projectiles before disappearing in the shadows.

Thanks to his Bloodl.u.s.t, Rahz speed increased significantly and was able to stop two out of the three range weapons thrown at him before taking a star from his left arm.

”Are you ok Rid”

With a smiled on his face Ridd.i.c.k said, ”Yes, Kin!!”

Elune and Midori arrived into the hallway and the group was covered once more in defensive wards.

”What happened? All I saw was Rahz go crazy and then his axe hit the wall”

Rahz eyes came back to normal as he kept his vigilance up and said, ”It was the Second Guardian, he is similar to the person that killed my father so I couldn't control my rage but thanks to that I was able to stop him from killing Ridd.i.c.k. He is definitely a master”.

The team rested for a while before deciding if they should continue with their expedition for a little longer. Rahz also took this time to put the star looking objects in his storage s.p.a.ce before holding one and inspecting it.

The weapon was a four side star with each of the sides finis.h.i.+ng in a very sharp point that could penetrate a material even harder than itself. In the middle of the star there was hole that help with the grip of the device and although the weapon was black in color, upon closer inspection, it was an illusion caused with some sort of paint as the material of the weapon seem to be really good Iron.

Rahz put away the throwing weapon and continued guarding the team alongside Midori while Elune helped Ridd.i.c.k recovered.

”We have about 3 hours left, I think we should continue for a little bit longer and then start heading back”. Said Rahz

The team agreed and started to move in unison once more, the appearance of the second guardian had thrown a wrench into their plans but it was all part of the mission. If they wanted to leave the Fifth Gate there was only one thing to do and that was to move forward.
