[Temti and Obitiga joining Twilight's side]
"It looks like we're good to go."
[Temti]
"My friend, you've got yourself a great Light Mage."
[Obitiga]
"Thank you. My name's Temti by the way."
[Temti]
"Temti, it's nice to officially meet you. Anyway, who is that and how do we defeat him"
[Obitiga]
"His name is Iago, I ran into him on Manshu Island. It's been years though so he's not the same as before."
[Twilight]
"What was that skill he used a little while ago."
[Obitiga]
"I'm not sure, it does remind me of a skill I know, Shadow Step. It's different though."
[Twilight]
"Do you think we can take him, that's the real question?"
[Obitiga]
"We kinda have no choice in the matter. If we don't I'm pretty sure we won't be getting off with just being captured."
[Twilight]
"You know, the three of you seem to still be underestimating me."
[Iago as he stands to his feet]
"It seems like a huge waste but I guess I'll just have to show you how big of a difference in strength we have."
[Iago]
It took a while to notice what he was doing. It seemed as though he was just standing there. After a few moments, however, we began to see the change. He became something I'd never seen before, This human-like creature. His body began to harden, as he was growing we finally noticed this small bump on his back, the size of it almost tripled. Shocked at his sudden change I turned to Obitiga in hopes of an answer.
"It..it can't be…"
[Obitiga, shocked and in disarray]
"What..what is it?"
[Twilight, confused]
"I've never seen one in person, but he's definitely a Siren, a defense type to be exact."
[Obitiga]
"We know he's a Siren but a defense type, what does that mean?"
[Temti]
"A defense-type siren is one of the most durable race types there is."
[Obitiga]
"Can we defeat him?"
[Twilight, curious]
"The way he is now, compared to before, I don't think we can."
[Obitiga]
"Now that's done, let's begin."
[Iago, as he transformation ends, cracking his newly formed shell in half and forming two shields over his arms]
[Cough - Liam]
[Liam Spits blood out on the ground]
"I wasn't expecting him to be this strong."
[Liam, as he holds the stab wound Nizer left near his left abdomen]
"Come on get up. With the abilities you have, I thought you would at least be able to put up more of a challenge."
[Nizer, flinging blood off his saber]
[Liam begins to scan the room, seeing the others in the midst of battle]
"It doesn't look like anyone is going to be able to help me. I might just have to..."
[Liam]
[Nizer appears in front of Liam]
"You shouldn't be looking away in the midst of battle."
[Nizer, kicking Liam aside]
[Cough - Liam]
"I don't have time to think, I'm just going to have to use it."
[Liam as he spits more blood onto the ground]
Using what was left of his essence Liam began to channel his Dark Lightning once again.
"I thought you would have learned from your mistakes but I guess not."
[Nizer, as he charges towards Liam]
"Ple..Please let this work."
[Liam]
Just as Nizer makes it into attack range Liam releases a shroud of darkness. Engulfing both warriors.
"What is this?"
[Nizer, Confused]
"A last resort."
[Liam]
Unbeknownst to Nizer, Liam began to clone himself within the shroud. One by one the clones began to attack. Though Nizer was able to fend off most of the onslaught, all from different angles, it slowly became too much for him. The shroud began to fade. Standing there was Nizer, with both arms lost, battered, and scared all over.
"It looks like I was right about you. Maybe if you were by her side things wouldn't have turned out the way they did."
[Nizer, as he falls over disappearing into essence]
"I...I'm glad that's over..."
[Liam, as he falls over slowly continuing to bleed out]
During the midst of this Lepricus had finally defeated the Medisea Plants. While Sirisa made her way back down with Gixoh and Rion.
"Should we just be sitting back and not fighting Miuwa."
[Cult Member 2]
"Yeah, it wouldn't be fun if we just went full force now would it Denjo."
[Miuwa]
"That's true but I'm pretty bored, I wonder how Nizer and Iago are doing."
[Denjo, as he begins to scan the battlefield]
"Wow, it looks like Nizer actually lost over there. His opponent seems to be in no better shape though."
[Denjo, looking across the way]
"Did he? What a shame, he probably got too relaxed and let his guard down."
[Miuwa]
[Miuwa, moves towards Sirisa]
"You're a Light Mage, right? It looks like your friend needs help over there, you wouldn't want him to die would you?"
[Miuwa, pointing]
Sirisa and the others turn in the direction Miuwa is pointing to see Liam laying on the ground in a near-death state.
"Liam!"
[Sirisa, racing to Liam aid]
The others attempt to follow but are stopped by Miuwa and Denjo.
"Woah there, what about us. Are you just going to leave without saying goodbye?"
[Miuwa, stepping in the way of the others]
"Get out of our way!"
[Gixoh]
"How rude, I think they are trying to leave without saying goodbye."
[Denjo, to Miuwa]
"We'll just have to make them move."
[Rion, going in for the attack]
"This is going to be fun."
[Denjo]
Rion and Gixoh charge in at both Miuwa and Denjo. In which Denjo released another set of Medisea Plants. Prepared this time they were both able to avoid getting trapped. As they worked their way through defeating the Plants, Miuwa approached Lepricus for combat.
"You seem like the more sensible one. Why don't we have a friendly competition."
[Miuwa]
"What do you mean?"
[Lepricus, confused]
"Well as you can see I'm just another archer, while you seem to be an Executioner, correct."
[Miuwa]
"Yeah, and what does that have to do with anything?"
[Lepricus]
"It's kinda unfair since I have the distance you don't. So let's do this, I'll only be allowed to use thirty of my fifty arrows? How does that sound?"
[Miuwa, removing twenty arrows from his pouch and tossing it on the ground]
"He thinks so little of me, that he would give himself a handicap."
[Lepricus, thinking]
"Sure, why not."
[Lepricus]
"I'll just have to keep track of his arrow count. Once he has run out he's no match for me."
[Lepricus, thinking]
Miuwa begins by shooting off one arrow. In which Lepricus split in half. Unknown to Lepricus at the time, Miuwa had activated an archer skill. Allowing him to use his arrows without consumption. These arrows look just the same to the untrained eye, though they disappear after a few minutes. Miuwa kept shooting off arrows at Lepricus as he approached.
"13..14...15. Halfway, now would be the best time for me to use it."
[Lepricus, activating Hasti]
"Just a few more and I think I'll be ready."
[Miuwa, thinking to himself]
While Lepricus was steadily approaching the runaway Miuwa. Rion and Gixoh were still busy with Denjo and his Medisea Plants. Sirisa had finally made her way to Liam's body.
"Liam! Liam! Wake up."
[Sirisa, trying her best to treat Liam with the little healing magic she knew]
