Chapter 184 Eleventh Floor: Stage 1 Conclusion (1/2)
Manis'tae moved slowly toward him, her staff held out before her, they both stopped when they were within five meters. ”Greetings Filamina. Perhaps you would introduce me to your friend.”
/Inferno: Nix: If she summons her creatures, use yours to defend us.
/Inferno: Mina: Kill her Nix! She's a viper that poisons everything with words!
[Flashblade]
Nix struck with all of his strength, the impact of his sword on her armor pushed them both back.
/Inferno: Nix: High fire immunity... try this one on for size.
[Aura Ignition: Ice Flames]
Nix raised a hand and a half dozen Ice Flame strands encircled Manis'tae's waist. Her eyes went wide in shock and then she shrieked in pain.
You have been stunned
Mina has been stunned.
Manis'tae flashed toward Mina, the end of her staff coming off to expose a deadly looking blade. Before she could make contact, Soup slammed into her, sending Manis'tae flying backward.

You are immune to Ice Damage.
[Balefire Burst: Ice Flame]
Several balls of bluish flame slammed into Manis'tae driving her into the arena floor.
Nix raised a hand and a half dozen strands of Ice Flame wrapped around the ricoli artifact on her right arm. Manis'tae swung her bladed staff at the strands only to have her left arm wrapped up by a half dozen more Ice Flame Strands.
Five shots rang out simultaneously.

[Execution: Advanced]
Nix's swung a wrist-thick strand of razor-sharp Ice Flame at Manis'tae's neck, at the last moment she managed to throw up an arm and block the killing blow. The flame blade sliced through her arm and deep into her side. Nix kicked the floating limb away from the Water Nemesis.
[Manis'tae has activated her bloodline]

The Water Nemesis floated slowly to the arena floor, the lower half of her body had been replaced with long tentacles. Nix examined the corpse and then looted her remains.
An Ivory Key has been added to your inventory.
/Inferno: Jun Li: The hell was she changing into?
/Inferno: Milat: Looks like a Cranksai Demon.
/Inferno: Mina: The key dropped?
/Inferno: Nix: Yep, it dropped.
/Inferno: Jun Li: Why would she have it if she wasn't part of the stage?
/Inferno: Mina: My guess is she came here to take it and saw an opportunity to take us out.
/Inferno: Chael: What was that Unbalanced Chain skill?
/Inferno: Jun Li: Similar to Critical chain, Unbalanced Chain lets Gemini classes stack stuns together.
/Inferno: Milat: She was stunned for nearly 10 seconds.
Nix picked Manis'tae's severed arm and pulled the Ricoli artifact off it. He let the arm drift to the floor before handing the bracer to Mina. ”Train another Sea-Beast master.”
Mina nodded, she already had three Aquarion Sea-Beast Masters training, not counting her. This bracer would bring their total to five and Manis'tae was bound to have great beasts.
”You asked me to strike her even though she wanted to talk,” Nix said it as a statement, he wasn't concerned about Mina's motives.
”She is a powerful charmer Nix, you'll see when we pull out her beasts. I've seen her CC dozens of attackers at once.” Mina watched him for a moment, ”those Ice Flames, what are they?”
”Just something I picked up. Her armor had a high fire resistance. Too bad the Ice Flame isn't really fire.” Nix checked on Soup who was floating nearby, normally her 'battering ram' was a one and done skill. She was badly hurt, but nothing critical.” Nix rubbed her head fondly and unsummoned her. ”Go get some rest.
/Inferno: Nix: Let's head to 11.2.
A black chest sat on their exit platform, Nix looted it while the rest of Inferno scavenged the remaining corpses.

[Fire Bolt Ring]

/Inferno: Nix: Looks like three fire items, I'll link them in Guild Chat.
