The arrows continued to fly in a gigantic intensity, turning to Ryan, with a startled look the tank questioned "did you see that thing". Both of them were bothered by that presence, and nodding, Ryan confird.
'That bug is still looking at ...'
That smiling creature then held out one of its hands, commanding all the creatures to move forward. The goblins and orcs ca running out from all directions, jumping and roaring as if hungry for flesh. Behind the two travelers, the sentries started to attack those blue creatures, but the number of monsters was easily outnumbering the attacks of those crystal giants.
"We are closed... Damian, I will advance to the Boss. Can you handle this room alone?" Ryan said.
The tank just nodded as he continued to advance and attack goblins and orcs. Arrows were still flying towards the two of them, so he remained vigilant with his shield raised to the sky. That mining area was cold and noisy, Damian's body was shaking from the ice, but he a strange sensation arose beside him. Within seconds an intense fla completely heated his armor. Turning around, he saw how serious Ryan was.
Walking towards the monsters, his body began to glow more and more with that black fla. "I knew it was you..." Damian said in a low tone of voice, he was rembering the events at the green portal.
Four orcs ran towards Ryan, trying to hug him. Those blue monsters ca from all directions as if they were Arican football players, but as soon as they made contact with him, the monsters died in the sa instant. Several goblins were advancing, trying to stab, kick and punch him, but the response was the sa.
One of the goblins attacked with a leap, directing a sword at Ryan's head. With two fingers, he stopped the monster's attack, flas flowed from the sword causing the creature to spit fire as it had its body burned from the inside out. In the middle of that mining area, Ryan activated his wings. Those flas grew even larger, until within seconds he was standing in front of the ice sovereign.
That smiling creature was salivating as it looked at Ryan, a blue goo was leaking from the monster's black lips while that creature's eyes glowed in an intense red light. Ryan punched towards the monster's face, but neither the flas nor his attack were effective, holding his fist, that creature opened its own mouth.
"Kurak mahatak nyokik" The monster said, with a smile.
'Can you translate for ?'
Nyx and Ryan's ntal bond then intensified, the succubus was taking care of Ryan's auditory and linguistic brain processing.
"I accept your duel, but shut your filthy mouth" The words that flowed from Ryan's mouth were being controlled by the succubus, he was speaking the sa demonic dialect as that creature.
"Hahaha! It's been a while since I found an interesting diversion... It's been a while" That monster's face then clouded, that creature's eyes stopped shining in that red light, returning to a blue one as his smile disappeared. Placing both hands on Ryan's shoulders, the monster shouted "WHERE AM I?" the ice sovereign's voice was shaking, not from fear, but with a kind of agony and wail.
Looking at the ice sovereign, Ryan sighed "Stop the attack and we can talk." The creature nodded and followed walking down a crystal corridor that led to the entrance of a cave, passing through a rough stone wall, the two found what looked like a room dug by the goblins. That room was dimly lit, possessing only a few torches lit on the wall.
"I was ordered to co to this abandoned mine by the master... How long ago... What... I don't rember" Joining both hands, the ice ruler created a kind of black cloud, at the sa instant, Ryan took a step back, placing one of his hands on the pistol on his belt.
The monster's face was even more confused "There is no contact. Where am I?"
Tired, Ryan said "You are trapped in a ti stream" that phrase didn't seem to make much sense to that ice ruler, but that was the only answer the creature had. "Kill ," that monster said, kneeling.
Ryan withdrew one of his pistols from his belt, "First, order the goblins and orcs to die. Then I will give you rcy." The ice sovereign nodded, raising his neck he activated that black smoke again, all the goblins in that dungeon began to choke and scream in pain, while the orcs let out their heavy tears with hateful howls.
* Bang *
Part of the Ice Overlord's brain ca out the other side of his head, as his body fell backwards to the ground. In theory, the challenge of that portal had finally been finished. 'Let's return them ho and check on Crystaldrift...' Ryan concluded.
* * *
Standing in front of the group, Ryan said 'There doesn't seem to be an exit nearby'. The druid, now in his human form, was visibly calr "Let's use the watch to return to base, the loot from the crystals is enough." The group nodded, Nivia and Ruri were holding two large bags of valuable crystals from that dwarven mining area.
Activating the teleportation chanism on the watch John Wrynn gave them, the group of travelers returned to the base. Their bodies were enveloped by the energy of the portal, causing them to disappear at the sa ti.
* Vwuush * Vwuush * * Vwuush * * Vwuush *
But Ryan remained in that challenge. Sighing, he looked at both sides of that empty dungeon. Hundreds of bodies were lying on either side, walking back to the room of the ice sovereign, he followed looking for a way out.
* * *
"Where's Ryan?" Ruri said, looking from one side to the other.
Kodiak was looking worried "He stayed at the portal?" again, the gray haired girl put one of her hands on the druid's shoulder "He beat the boss of that challenge by himself, if the teleportation gave trouble, he just needs to find his way back to the starting portal." This reasoning was reasonable, so before they could worry about Ryan, important news arrived.
One of the guild agents ca through an automatic iron door "Good that you are back, Roy is waiting for you in the dical area." Kodiak's eyes widened at the news, and together with Nivia and Ruri, he took off running towards his injured friend.
Running and crossing those wide corridors, the sound of the three travelers' footsteps echoed throughout the base. So of the other travelers and guild mbers sent watchful glances in the direction of the three, slowing their pace, they began to walk as they approached the dical area.
There was an iron door with a fingerprint reader beside it, and with the palm of his hand Kodiak opened the door. In front of the group was a tall man with a white lab coat, looking to the three young travelers, he gave a weak gentle smile "Your friend is already okay. Just wait a couple of minutes and you guys can see him".
The Druid then nodded, and sitting in that room they waited. There was a sound of small footsteps walking towards the group, "That sll" Kodiak said, turning around. Roy's panther was walking depressed, approaching the three of them, that gigantic white cat lay near Ruri and Nivia's foot. Still so of its master's blood on that creature's paws and chest.
Extending one of his hands, Ruri began to pet Snowy "It's going to be okay, you know how strong Roy is." The panther began to purr. "I hope Ryan doesn't get hurt, in the end he's just another rookie" Kodiak said as he looked up at the ceiling.
The doctor's wooden shoe then announced his arrival "Roy is waiting for you in the other room, please follow "
