Chapter 235 - Nether Bishop (Part One) (1/2)

Nix opened all the cells, Ducky grabbed his hand to prevent herself from fumbling in the dark. He gave the keys to Sasi since she was a rogue and the most adept at moving silently without the use of skills.

She moved silently through the next room. They had decided to not worry about freeing the other prisoners until the guards were dealt with. She lay on her stomach near the barred door and held up three fingers.

Uta pointed to her, Nix and himself. Rabi and Ducky would hang back. They all knew that the key would make noise when she unlocked it.

Without waiting Sasi unlocked the door, Nix slammed against it an instant later sending it open with a loud bang. The guards at the table seemed to freeze for a moment.

Nix charged the nearest guard, he kicked the table into the other two and grabbed his target by the neck. The Nether guard had the face of an elephant seal, a grotesque looking trunk that stopped at his black chin. He wrenched hard with his hands twice, hearing an audible crack after the second movement, the guard tumbled lifelessly to the ground.

You have slain a Nether guard.

Uta grappled with the 2nd guard, the largest of the three. Nix kicked him in the back of the knee and held his arms while Uta gripped his throat with both hands and tore it out. Sasi had already dealt with her target and was already opening the chests when the last guard slumped to the floor.

A few moments later, the group had all of their gear back and was formulating a strategy. As agreed Rabi went back and unlocked all the prisoners. They still had a mission to carry out, those who had been set free were on their own.

Sasi slipped out the jail to scout the area, immediately she popped back into view and motioned for them to follow.

Nix brought up the rear of the group, the room just outside of the jail was obviously some kind of mess hall.

[All Cla.s.s and Archon skills have been enabled]

[Group messaging is enabled.]

[Instant Travel has been enabled]

[You may now access your inventory]

Nix immediately activated his red scimitar and stealth package.

/Qi Family: Uta: Okay, part one of the mission has been completed.

/Qi Family: Nix: Part one being 'escape from an obvious trap?'

/Qi Family: Uta: Yes. Well done by the way.

Uta opened up his hud and examined the map.

/Qi Family: Uta: We are on the first floor, I'm guessing he is in the Depository on the third floor since that's where the Prism would be stored.

/Qi Family: Sasi: Probably.

/Qi Family: Ducky: Want me to find him?

Uta looked at Nix for confirmation since he had no real clue as to what Ducky's capabilities were.

/Qi Family: Nix: Find his location and bring us back someone to talk to. Keep in contact.

/Qi Family: Uta: We'll move to the first-floor exit and wait.

They waited until Ducky left and then exited the Mess Hall with Sasi leading the way. Between them and the stairs was a large library and a dark chapel. They were about to stealth through the library when Sasi spotted a high-value target.

/Qi Family: Sasi: It's a Dark Chancellor. We need to kill him.

/Qi Family: Nix: Dark Chancellor?

/Qi Family: Uta: It's the Nether version of the Breach Commander, their rare so of course we need to take him.

/Qi Family: Nix: I'll move in closer and start the fight.

The Chancellor was in an empty section of the library, he was sitting at the table apparently reading. Up close his neatly cropped black hair was actually thousands of sharp-looking quills, his greenish skin had a smooth snake-like shine. His all-white eyes were staring at the words of the book in his hands.

His slender hands turned the page and a moment later a dozen strands of Ice Flame burst through the back of his chair and exited his chest before wrapping around him. Nix yanked back as hard as he could, pulling the Chancellor back toward the wall.

[Viper Strike]

Sasi Qi has scored a critical hit on Chancellor Demian.

[Quartered]

Rabi has crippled Chancellor Demian and exposed a weakness to Ice Attacks.

Uta rushed in and slammed his shield into the face of the target.

Chancellor Demian has been stunned.

[Sudden Switch]

Uta has equipped an Ice based weapon.

[Up front]

Uta has slowed Chancellor Demian with the power of Ice.

[Double Finish]

Sasi scored a critical hit on the stunned target.

Sasi scored a critical hit on the stunned target.

[Blind Side]

Rabi has scored a critical hit to Chancellor Demian's eyes.

Chancellor Demian has been blinded.

Nix was content to hold the Chancellor in place. The Qi family was strong and their dps were higher than anything he had seen before.

Sasi has slain Chancellor Demian.

Rabi looted the Chancellor while Nix took the book he had been reading and stowed it away. He was about to take more off the shelves when Sasi grabbed his arm.

/Qi Family: Sasi: Taking the ones on the table are fine, an alarm will go off if you pull something off the shelf without authorization.

Nix nodded and took the other two books from the table Demian was reading at.

/Qi Family: Uta: Let's move out!
