Chapter 417 - Incline 29: Grandguard Inerish

"WORM RIDER!? WORM RIDER!?" I scream through the speaker as we near yet another hour of him having suddenly frozen still. The moon had long since come out and he had shown no sign of moving.

"Pardon, the sight of what?" he asks me as he suddenly starts moving again.

"What in the name of the gods was that all about!?" I ask him with a hiss.

"So was this him?" he asks as I watch him suddenly turn to face the currently present moon of Sinannan.

"We cannot..." I began to reply before laughter filled the control room. In response, I drew my sword as did everyone else present. Any weapon, really, was brought in. Yet, we were suddenly getting reports of laughter throughout the city.

"Why, hello!" that damned voice said before it suddenly yelped.

"In the name of Lord Sl'Ayiysab, I shall slay you." the Worm Rider casually told Smiling Jhurack as he engaged him. Yet, the mad killer was more than able to match the speed of his swings and thrusts.

"Do not interrupt me like that!" he complained as he suddenly appeared far behind him. The distance, however, was soon closed and the Worm Rider displayed his physical might. At moments it seemed like his spear moved, but at others, it looked like it was in two spots at once. It was far beyond us to properly observe in real-time...

"Get me a good view on that damned bastard. If this Worm Rider is our best shot, I want to help him however I can!" I order all present staff with a slam of my fist. Glaring intently on the somehow still amused Jhurack as he was put on the back foot. Did that have grave implications...? I could not see how the Worm Rider would treat this half-heartedly...

Perhaps I had misjudged his character...? Or was Jhurack beyond a scale we could've possibly conceived. However, as usual, his tell-tale sign of activity was present. Magic sensors were malfunctioning and misreading what was going on.

"Get me eyes in the air, now!" I send out to the hanger before moving closer to the screen.
