79 One Step Closer (2/2)

RAITON!!! Lightning Snake

Lightning snakes pa.s.sed through the chain and hit the group members that scream in pain except for one. Instead of screaming, Midori's body crumbled into ashes and appeared a few feet ahead of Ridd.i.c.k with her gray energy already moving towards her eyes.

The whole team close their eyes and then, ”Whoos.h.!.+” Petrifying Gaze.

Master Chrysalis experience was vast and for that reason he abandon the chains the moment he felt Midori's ominous aura and try to move back into the shadows. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't fast enough and the aura still managed to have a paralyzing effect on his body. Midori took advantage of this chance and use a tailwhip to send her enemy flying towards the next trap, the acid lake.

This time Midori came through for the team as after she whip Chrysalis away, she had to grab all the members of her team with her tail and ran the opposite direction the floor was moving to give them the chance to recuperate from the paralysis inflicted by the lightning snakes.

The Acid Lake was probably the easiest of the challenges, there were safety zones that moved throughout the lake and all you had to do was cross the lake using this safety tiles. The only thing that changed with every mode was the speed, this made it so that you had to antic.i.p.ate your jump in order to land successfully onto the next and so on.

Midori's decision was the correct one as even if the paralysis was gone the muscles needed time adjusting back to normal. The team took a couple of minutes to get it together and proceeded with the challenge, they had done it many times and by now it was really nothing to worry about even if the speed was double the previous level. As they were pa.s.sing through the Acid Lake out of the corner of their eye, they could see that a floating piece of clothing in the shape of a foot was still being decompose.

Rahz didn't think much about it and just continued his way to the other side and into the third hallway where a one arm, one foot Chrysalis stood. Rahz was the first one to pa.s.s the lake and told the team to wait on one of the platforms while he took care of Chrysalis. Elune and the others understood very well what Rahz was planning to do so they stayed out of his way. Elune just recast her ward on him and they all stood on their platform looking towards the hall.

Rahz and Chrysalis looked at each other and dash at the same time. Rahz grab his 2h Axe and got ready while his opponent disappeared into a Skill.

a.s.sa.s.sIN FORBIDDEN SKILL : DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS

ARGHHHH C H A O S E R U P T I O N

SWIs.h.!.+ SWIs.h.!.+

BOOOs.h.!.+

It all happen in a second, when the pillar of chaos fire dissipated the weapon used by Master a.s.sa.s.sin Chrysalis flew towards the lake with a hand still attach to it and fell straight to the bottom. In the hall only Rahz remained but he could not move and before the team could react his Axe felt to the ground and blood jetted out of 20 cuts across his body.

RAHZ!!!

Elune jumped into the hall and took out the best healing potions she had and pour them on top of the wounds. It wasn't a bad result, Rahz knew that if he was the only one in the hallway Chrysalis would have only one target and he could use his Chaos Eruption to cover the majority of the hall in Chaos Fire without having to worry about hitting friendlies with his fire. He just hope to kill Chrysalis before dying and it was extremely close, before the chaos fire could melt his arm, 20 slashes had already landed on Rahz and if it wasn't for Elune recasting wards without pause Rahz would have died as well.

It was a shame that Chrysalis weapon was lost but his Shuriken pouch was left on the floor.

While they were treating Rahz the familiar voice sound through the Cube. ” Challenge Completed, Mode 004 Pa.s.sED please proceed to the portal. Rebirth Timer 2h 30m”.

The Team was so focus on Rahz's status that they didn't realize their trusty guide, the Old Specter, was already standing behind them.

Cough!! Cough!!

”We need to move to third floor, there is very little time until Chrysalis is reborn once again and he is one to carry a grudge, don't forget his pouch... let's go”.

Ridd.i.c.k picked up the still unconscious Rahz and move towards the entrance of the third floor, It had been a long road but they were one step closer to seeing the sun.
