Chapter 218 - House On Fire (Conclusion) (1/2)

Nix grabbed Ducky's hand and pulled her toward the altar room. ”What did you mean when you said she wasn't one of them?”

Ducky pursed her lips, smiling at Nix's back while he pulled her down the hall. ”What's the word? Spy? She's a plant from another house.”

Nix let her hand go when they arrived at the altar room. He used the throne to bring up the status of the lower level. ”Too bad we didn't get her bow, Ronnie would love an Archon Bow.”

Ducky held up the bow in question. ”You mean this?”

Gemini Instance Menu

[Lower Level Locked: Occupied]

Footsteps announced the arrival of Elune, her two-colored face smile at Nix. ”You seem hurried my Lord.”

Nix nodded. ”I did something, but I am not sure yet if it was a mistake.”

Elune peeked at the menu he opened up. ”Is this about the lower level?”

”Yes. I used a breach to toss a bunch of people into it. All but one had Black hand Artifacts on them.”

”It wouldn't matter. The permissions for Gemini Temple were already set by you, only Inferno members may gate in or out. My concern would have been them using the Breach you opened to come back.”

”I opened the breach about 10 meters off the ground, since I slapped Black hands on them, they wouldn't be able to activate their Archon form.”

Elune's lips curved in a smile. ”What about the last one? The one without the Black hand.”

”He was missing his legs when I tossed him through, and he was unconscious.” Nix rubbed his hands together, ”I closed the breach immediately after that.”

”It's effective as any dungeon, no one is leaving the lower level without your permission Lord Nix. Even if they die, they will resp.a.w.n inside, just like Tessa did.”

Nix frowned at the mention of the former Gemini Lord. ”That reminds me, I need to talk with Esta... Nansu also.”

Ducky tapped Nix on the shoulder. ”Shouldn't you be somewhere?”

”Yes. I”m going.”

[Create Breach: Lapu Crater]

Beta finally stopped running when they arrived at a footbridge. ”We should be in the clear for now, things like this happen all the time.”

Pon nodded as if he used to it. ”Is that house suppose to be burning like that?”

Chiba leaned back against the rail and watched it burn. ”What house is that Beta?”

The Albino pursed her lips together. ”It's the Aquarion House.”

Semmi whistled under her breathe. ”Setting things on fire, this seems an awful lot like someone we know.”

Wind nodded in agreement. ”It's definitely the boss.”

Beta pulled his arm slightly, her pale face shining. ”What in the world is that companion of yours?”

The Gemini thief answered easily. ”That's the King.”

Semmi's pretty laugh filled the night air. ”I don't know who that mage was, but I do know one thing.”

Pon's old face was smiling while he watched the Aquarion House burn. ”Don't f*ck with the King.”
