Frey's skill has already subsided as she went to chase Eldritch inside the cave. The cave system was not complex as it only had one way down. The way down though was deeper than she thought as she was traversing the cave for about five minutes now in her maximum running speed.
The cave beca darker and without light the deeper that she traversed it. She had no choice but to use an illumination spell to better see what she was traversing and she was shocked. The cave walls that were mostly rock beca sothing else.
Frey noticed that the cave walls were pulsating but she did not take the ti to investigate as she was in a hurry catching Eldritch. If she lets go of this chance now then she would no longer be able to catch Eldritch.
"I may be walking into a trap but I have no choice now if I want to get the quest reward." Frey though to herself as she delved deeper into the cave.
Frey finally reached the depths of the cave and felt that she just entered a different dinsion. The surroundings were not cave like at the slightest as she felt the floor beneath her to be slimy and rather soft. Frey decided to illuminate the whole area was appalled at what she witnessed.
"Welco Frey or should I say that it was foolish of you to even follow
here." Eldritch stated in a mocking tone once more but Frey is not fazed.
"Where are we Eldritch? Or should I ask the more embarrassing question? Why are you running away from ? Are you actually scared of
that you would rather flee than face
in battle?" Frey replied back in a mocking tone.
"I have better use of my ti than play with soone like you but I have soone who could satisfy your thirst for battle. See you later!" Eldritch stated with a laugh as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
When the cloud of smoke disappeared, Frey finally noticed the mass of tentacles in front of her. The mass of tentacles ford a sphere of wriggling mass that is grotesque to say the least. The best description of this tentacle sphere is that it is a stuff of nightmares.
The mass of wriggling tentacles suddenly started to open like a flower. Each tentacle parted slowly until the person inside is revealed. It was none other than Vel'drix who is now perfectly inhabiting the body of Argent. Frey used her appraisal skill to see the details of the woman in front of her.
NPC: Vel'drix
Level: 220
Status: [Weakened] [Hungry]
"Oh! It seems that my al today has finally arrived." Vel'drix stated as she licked her lips.
"Sorry but I am not in the nu today." Frey replied as she got ready for battle.
"I always like it when my al fights back. It relieves my boredom by a bit." Vel'drix answered.
The tentacles on Vel'drix' hair suddenly rose up like they were snakes and lunged towards Frey. Vel'drix did not even lift her body from the sitting position that she is in. She is utilizing fifteen of her tentacles to fight off Frey while the rest is used like a chair for her to sit upon.
Vel'drix is quite amazed with the food that she is given as this is one of the feistier ones. She was also doing quite well as Frey already cut off one or two tentacles but it was not enough because the tentacles grew back quickly. Frey is gradually beginning to get pushed back because Vel'drix is adding more and more of her tentacles to fight her.
"I cannot believe that I am already using this skill because that wretched Eldritch escaped." Frey thought as she decided to use her trump card to fight this nonsensical NPC.
"Valkyrie's Ascent!" Frey shouted as her body beca enveloped in iridescent light.
Frey's body then lifted up mid-air and she started to sprout wings made of light reminiscent of the aurora. Vel'drix who saw this could only smile happily because she did not expect one of her most hated races to have co to her.
"Valkyrie!" Vel'drix shouted as she used every tentacle in her head to attack Frey.
Vel'drix reaction is normal because her previous avatars were hunted down by the Valkyries. She is definitely not a big fan of them because the Valkyries never forgot to hunt the remnants of the Dark Gods that remained in the world. The Valkyries are the very reason why this world is not succumbing to the influence of the Dark Gods.
Frey beca shocked with the reaction of the tentacle woman as she was not this active a few minutes ago. It seems that her opponent has a grudge against the Valkyries. The reason of the great anger of Vel'drix is that she was hunted like an animal for sport by the other Valkyries.
Vel'drix could guess that the Valkyrie in front of her is soone new to the ranks and is sent to hunt her. She would definitely savor the taste of a Valkyrie after she is done torturing the individual. She does not want the Valkyrie to get off easy as she would make her feel like an animal being hunted down.
Frey did not know what was going inside of Vel'drix' head and just did her best to defeat her opponent despite being lower in level than her. Frey's skill Valkyrie's Ascent is much like Iridescence except she would get 50% more stats for the duration while also getting empowered attacks.
The attacks that Frey used were very effective against Vel'drix because of the unique passive skill of the Valkyries called Justice that makes them deal increased damage against creatures or individuals that follow the dark gods. The sudden power up of her prey made Vel'drix even happier because at least now she could go wild and enjoy herself.
The battle beca intense as tentacles and blood spatters could be seen flying with every exchange but the one in danger is none other than Frey. She could not handle her opponent alone as she lost a considerable amount of levels during her job class change. She is now only at level 163 and a huge difference between an NPC and a player is already disastrous.
Frey decided that she could not win despite using her trump card but she could not leave either. Every ti that she attempted to retreat, Vel'drix would cut her escape route. Vel'drix is hell bent in torturing Frey as the forr had lots of chances to finish her off but did not use it. Frey could not believe that she is being treated as a plaything.
Frey had no choice but to use an item that she picked up in one of her quests. Frey took out a black pill and imdiately swallowed it. Her body started to form veins of light until her skin itself started glowing. Frey then shouted out loud as if she was in great pain.
Frey's shout beca the amusent of Vel'drix but she suddenly realized that it was not her that is making the Valkyrie feel pain. An imnse amount of energy could be felt coming from Frey's body. When the energy could no longer be contained, Frey's body exploded that destroyed a huge chunk of the mountain and even engulfing the whole cave with Vel'drix in it.
