[Whisper Frenzy to Nix] Why is that bear so big? What have you been feeding him?
[Whisper: Nix to Frenzy] Necromancers. Don't you have a cave that you can hide in?
Nix scanned the group that was gathering to watch the show, immediately spotting the Guild Leader from Mid-Tier Salamander.
[Whisper: Frenzy to Nix] Funny... I didn't realize you had comic skills. Good luck on the Raid; we're going to head over to the Jhabi War Camp so we can get a good hunting spot.
[Whisper: Nix to Frenzy] Not going to stick around and see if we win?
[Whisper: Frenzy to Nix] No. The way you guys beat on these things almost makes me feel bad for them.
/Inferno: Pon: Earth Shield and Ring of Fire are already in effect!
/Inferno: Semmi: Anyone know what the 72-hour buffs look like yet?
/Inferno: Nix: I do, since I've visited both Temples already. I'll link them.
[Earth Regeneration]
Description: Your recent visit to the Temple of Earth has increased your understanding of the element, granting you a fifty percent increase in Health Regeneration.
[Fire's Edge]
Description: Your recent visit to the Temple of Flame has increased your understanding of the element. Your attack rating has increased by thirty percent.
/Inferno: Wind: So you have all four of the Haven Temple buffs?
/Inferno: Nix: Yep.
/Inferno: Pon: Yup.
/Inferno: Jun Li: Okay then, before the next raid, I want everyone to visit both Temples on the day before.
/Inferno: Nix: Make sure we tell the other raid group. It won't really affect us until we hit the World Boss.
/Inferno: Jun Li: Noted. Focus, please. Lead us in Nix.
The overall effect of killing two of the existing Regional Lords in Colonial was causing the Deep Winter to loosen its grip. Glory City was already free of Ice, although the inhabitants were still enjoying the Nether Cities' hospitality. Nix walked between Morti and Del as they strode down the icy path toward Lord Chenzo. The Regional Lord had taken up residence in what used to be a rock quarry, the sound of his whip-cracking could be heard for miles in all directions.
Nix's stopped at the edge of the clearing where their target was located. Chenzo wore red chainmail and was targetting boulders with his whip. Each strike caused the monstrous rocks to crack and shatter with the impact. ”The whip applies a freezing effect and then melee damage. That's why it looks so bad-ass.”
Morti's big nose huffed at his target. ”Going to use a special attack on him, Nix.”
Nix pushed dread flames into his bone hilts, and at the same time, Pon activated his Dread aura, causing everyone to take a step back from the two of them.
/Inferno: Ronnie: What the hell is that?
/Inferno: Wind: Unfair bastards.
/Inferno: Pon: Heh. Eat it!
Nix patted the Titan cub's shoulder. ”Gonna use Bear Stomp?”
Morti shook his enormous head. ”Nope.”
/Inferno: Jun Li: Whenever you're ready.
Morti stood on his hind legs for a moment, his dark eyes burrowing into Lord Chenzo. An instant later, the Titan cub vanished from sight, only to be replaced by a small black bird that shot high into the air before vanishing in the night sky.
Nix mumbled a curse under his breath. ”Here we go...”
The Black Sparrow dived at Chenzo from high above; when he was within five meters of the ground, he morphed back into his natural form, causing several tons of Titan cub to slam down on the unsuspecting target with a bone-crushing impact. ”BEAR FLOP!”
Chenzo has been stunned.
Chenzo has suffered minor injuries that will restrict his movement speed by thirty percent.
Inferno seemed to freeze in place for a moment; the sight of Morti laying on top of their somewhat flattened target caused quite a few of them to break off their attack and start laughing.
Nix was the first one to enter the fight. Morti wrenched the whip away from Chenzo, who was struggling to get up under the massive weight of the Titan. Instead of attacking, Nix morphed into his basilisk form and struck at Chenzo's flailing legs.
Nix has struck with [Serpent's Bite]. Six poison counters have been applied.
Instead of retreating, he maintained his bite on Chenzo's while coiling around his legs.
Nix has activated [Entwinement].
Chenzo has been temporarily trapped.
Morti pushed his powerful paws downward on Chenzo's back while moving to a sitting position on the Lord's prone form. ”Swat! Swat! Swat!”
The Titan cub rained down slaps on the back of his target's head. At the same time, the rest of Inferno seemed unable to move.
Chiba's body was shaking with laughter as she retreated and turned away from the spectacle. She stumbled and dropped one of her blades on the frozen ground.
/Inferno: Jun Li: Come on! Take this seriously!
”Swat! Swat! Swat!” Morti continued to slam Chenzo's face into the frozen dirt of the quarry.
/Inferno: Ronnie: I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
/Inferno: Semmi: Let him up so we can finish him off.
