78 Mode 004 (1/2)
Rahz and his team knew what they had to do. There was no going home without defeating Lord Darick, No BBQ without clearing the 4 mode interchangeable kinetic cube, no sunlight without beating Master a.s.sa.s.sin Chrysalis.
All the members of the team looked at each other and it was all it took for them to convey their feelings ” I ain't no p.u.s.s.y, I'll show you Poak POak, b.i.t.c.h”
The team had a couple of hours until the change in the field, so they decided to continue down the hall they were on at a little slower pace while looking for anything close to resembling a dark smoke. The second room brought out the importance of Elune and thanks to her new item, she was able to recast Eidolic Wards as fast as it was depleted. The new setting change the formation of the group. Ridd.i.c.k could be said to be a strict caster for the time being and with an a.s.sa.s.sin on the lose it was safe to say that he needed protection.
Rahz took the responsibility as the leader and move to the position at the front. He would be the first to experience the traps or challenges and that left the agile Midori bringing up the rear looking for any indication that the second Guardian would strike when they least expected. The next couple of halls were pretty simple, one was a long jump where if you happened to fall a pool of acid that could melt early level 30's would be waiting and the second left the team perplex. The whole hallway was dark as night and at the end of it was a set of stair going up and they were blindingly bright.
The road ended with a portal signifying the end of the easy road. Midori's instinct told her that inside those dark walls there was nothing but death waiting for them and she was right. Master Chrysalis was in fact an a.s.sa.s.sin but he took the more unusual route, that of the Ki weavers known as ninjas.
”Where there are shadows, There lies neverending opportunity” The Obsidian Order.
Rahz shook his head and said, ”This is enough for today let's go back and meditate until the next beginner field”
The team turned around ready to leave but would Chrysalis let them return just after they walked so close to his ideal field.

Star looking objects followed by a dark chain shot out from the dark floor similar to one of Ridd.i.c.k's chaos chains coming out of a magic portal. The chain came out from a hole on the floor and when it opened darkness started to flow inside. The whole thing looked like a shower drain but the team didn't have time to appreciate the skill because the chain quickly tied itself around Midori.
Midori felt a big pull towards the darkness but Chaos Fire started falling on top of the hole while Rahz quickly grabbed onto it and started pulling backwards. It was a Tug a War between Rahz and Midori that had managed to get her bearings back and Chrysalis.
RAITON!!!…. LIGHTNING SNAKE!!!
A Lightning Snake crawl along the chain and pa.s.sed through Rahz's hands and on to Midori's body. Once again Rahz thanked the heavens for making Chrysalis Level 15 as a little higher his level and he could had been helpless. Rahz activated his chaos energy but it was a little late so Electric Current still managed to make him release the chain for a split second.
Midori's body moved immediately towards the darkness when Rahz had to let go of the chain, and the pressure of the team mounted.
”Ridd.i.c.k quick”
Ridd.i.c.k cover his hands with second level chaos fire and helped Rahz stop the chain from moving forward. It was now 2 vs 1 and with the element of surprise removed from the equation, it was easier for Elune to step in and remove the chain from Midori's body.
The lose chain was immediately wind up by master Chrysalis and came back into the floor.
RUN!!
The team back up into the previous hallway and tried to head back but the psychological warfare was won by the second guardian as the team slowed down even more. From time to time they would received some shuriken attacks and from time to time Dark smoke condensed behind one of the group members but nothing ended in a kill.
