Chapter 73 Bay of Flames part two (1/2)
Nix grinned suddenly and retreated toward the rail when she advanced.”You have rocks in your shoes?Why so slow?”
”You call yourself a man?”The woman swiped her blade once, Nix felt something impact his shoulder and side.
[Lamia's Resistance: Viper's poison has been resisted.]
”You handle a blade well, sadly I can't test you at this time.”Nix ignored the woman and faced the rest of the sailors.
”You dare turn your back on Bree, the son of Calyph?”
[Bree has been Charmed.]
Nix glanced at the rail, Ducky was shadowing his movements from the sea.”Wait... You're a guy?”
Breland flashed into the group of sailors and started cutting through them, his face was a mask of anger and outrage.Apparently charm didn't extend to facial expressions.
”We'll come back to that.”Nix targeted the Mainsail.
[Comet Strike]
Nix spotted the captain, he was still at the helm and barking orders.A thundering crash in the distance caused a lull in the fighting, everyone glanced toward the Dreadnought.
[Soup has taken critical damage and has been unsummoned.]
Nix moved from behind the blur of blades that Bree had become and sprinted toward the enemy captain.He raised one hand and six emerald strands shot out, completely immobilizing him.The captain dropped something he had been holding, it looked like an antique lantern.He sliced his blade across the captain's throat. ”I'll take this since it looks important.”
[Bree has resisted charm]
Nix leaped backward, narrowly avoiding a slash from the swordsman.
[Flame Root]
”You son of a bitch.” Bree's long hair hung in his eyes, his overly pretty face was splattered with blood.The root held him in place, drool ran from the corner of his mouth as he howled in anger.
Nix shrugged, ”I'm going to kill you too, but not until my Ducky has made you her bitch.”
[Bree has resisted charm]
He stored the lantern and then sprinted for cannon galley.The deck was suddenly bathed in flames, announcing the return of Fey. Nix ignored the pleasant feeling flames and kicked down the cannon galley door. He quickly targeted the black powder loads.
[Comet Strike]
[Bree has resisted Flame Root]
Nix ran for the rail but was cut off by Bree. ”Resistant bastard, ain't ya.”
”DIE!”
[Leap Attack]
In a flash of silver, Bree appeared in front of Nix.
Nix dived to one side and used a magic attack to back him up.
[Balefire]
Bree blocked it easily, triumph written on his maniacal face. ”Your tricks have been used up!”
[Bree has been charmed]
Nix swung his blade and neatly beheaded the swordsman, his silver blade clattered on the deck next to his head, with a quick grab he snagged the blade and jumped for the rail just as several explosions rocked the ship.
[You have been stunned]
A blast wave slammed into his back and tossed him head over heels into the air, a moment later Nix splashed into the sea.He lay motionless for a moment before a pair of arms grabbed him and pulled him beneath the surface. ”Okay... that hurt a bit.”
[Combustion]
Nix's pain and wounds were washed away in a faint green glow.
Mina released him but kept ahold of his hand.”Are you okay?”
Nix shook his head dizzily, he had used Balefire by mistake when he was pressured.”Doing noob stuff again,” he quickly drank a mana potion.
/Inferno: Jun Li: We are five minutes out.
/Inferno: Pon: Damn you punk!I see the smoke from here.
/Inferno: Nix: Sorry Pon... Attack at the edges, we've disabled the front ships.The Dreadnought is temporarily out of the battle.
/Inferno: Delphi: She took some damage from your companion, but not near enough to sink her.
Mina pulled him with her, the Aquarion assault team following closely.”Come with us back to the Phoenix.”
A few minutes later Nix and the Aquarions climbed back onboard the Phoenix.Fey was waiting for them.
Nix patted her scaled head before glancing at the helm.”Status Captain?”
”We've torn the right flank apart, four ships down, two more disabled.”Delphi had turned the Phoenix away from the battle to come-about and make another strafing run.”Nothing can take our teeth!”
Nix noticed that Ducky had climbed over the rail, she looked lost without Soup.”Ducky you'll stick with me, Fey you can take a break.”
Fey nodded her scaled head, ”Thanks to my gear, I was able to fight hard for quite some time.I need some rest.”
