Chapter 236 - Nether Bishop (Part Two) (1/2)
[A few miles East of Isla'Fairbal]
Banzi looked at his team roster, the freshly minted Zeta team already had already conducted a few successful missions. They were slowly started to bond. Two of the members were hybrids that performed dual roles.
Banzi: Tank
Wylie: Heals/DPS
Zhava: DPS
Kylie: DPS
Hyai: DPS
/Zeta: Banzi: Let's wrap this up and get back to Loki, they're expecting trouble.
They stepped through the breach into a surprisingly warm evening. Debris covered the area, like some sort of ma.s.sive energy release had taken place. There were a half dozen visible ponds that were obviously man-made.
/Zeta: Kylie: It's a fish farm, or at least it was. My parents run one just like this in Cyphix.
/Zeta: Banzi: Scout the area Zhava.
/Zeta: Zhava: Understood.
The Aquarion scout stealthed and moved away from them. In the waning light of day, he quickly disappeared.
Hyai pushed an errant strand of red hair out of her face. She was accompanied by two companions, one was a Djinn that she named Tavo and the other a Nether Fiend that was summoned by a spell.
/Zeta: Wylie: How long is the Fiend active?
/Zeta: Hyai: One hour, then I can't summon him again for a day.
/Zeta: Zhava: Contact... four Nether creatures, 100 meters east of your position.
/Zeta: Banzi: I'll grab aggro, a.s.sist Zhava and put companions on any strays.
Banzi led the rest of the group toward their scout, there were three smaller demons that were digging with picks in an area where the ground was smooth and hard like gla.s.s. A larger horned demon was watching them. When the Zeta team stopped ten meters from them, they could hear the Overseer's rough voice.
”The demon heart is somewhere close by, I inserted it myself into a vampire named Kedric last year. He's been our spy ever since, until he stopped reporting last month.”

A star appeared over the head of the lesser Nether creature. His health was already nearly depleted from the Fiend that was attacking it.
