Mizu then held his sword tightly as he looked at the creatures that was rising from the ground. Their head was covered by what seems to be corals and their face looked hideous. They were wearing armor like clothing but it was already torn off, hinting that they were adventurers once.
"Mizu! Becareful, they can use spells even though their mudskippers now!" Ada then started to cast a spell. A shadow tendril was formed beside her as it started to move to Mizu's location."Hang on Mizu! Let my tendril grab you and carry you here!"But then the tendril got burnt down by a fireball. The group looked at the direction where the fireball came from, they saw a Mudskipper that was wearing an armor that was mostly for mages."Mizu!" Amarico finally arrived at the other side of the bridge, she wanted to go back but she'll risk of breaking the bridge too."Ada do you have any more spells?!" Faye then started to go over the bridge but Amarico stopped her from going further"I'm trying to but I can't! The Mudskipper that can use a spell will instantly defeat my tendrils!" Ada casted two more of the same tendrils as it started to slowly go towards Mizu, only to be shot down by the Mudskipper once more."Mizu! You gotta kill the Mudskipper Mage before my tendrils can get to you!" Ada then started to cast her spells once more, the tendrils were slower this time as it was trying to time itself right after Mizu kills the mage."Got it!"Mizu's hands slowly started to produce flames, he then started rushing towards the group of Mudskippers, two of which went in front of Mizu with swords. They started to randomly swing it around, it was like they don't know what to do with it but if it hits it works."Mizu becareful! Even though their Mudskippers their strength in numbers is not a thing to not be worried about!" Amarico slowly grabbed rocks from the surrounding"Faye give me a cloth and two sticks" Faye then nodded, opening up her backpack and grabbing the requested items.Mizu then raised his sword, flames started to appear on it as he swings it down at the Mudskippers setting them ablaze"Mizu got two of them!" Ada slowly made the tendrils get there faster."Enough time for me to make a homemade slingshot then!" Amarico then started to combine the cloth and sticks together into a slingshot type of item. "Faye! Can you aim?" Amarico then handed out the slingshot to Faye, in return Faye grabbed it as well as grabbing a rock from the ground"Of course I can! Played with a certain ranger beforehand so!" Faye then started to aim at some of the Mudskippers that was directly charging at Mizu. She then fired right at them directly hitting their head."There we go!" Mizu then immediately went towards the mage.Using what remains of his fire, he used it to circle around the mage, trapping it in a wall of flames "Fire Wall!" Mizu then rushed into his fire wall as he striked the mage in the head. Killing it.Mizu slowly started walking across the bridge, taking his time as he didn't want to fall off the bridge and drop into the acid lake that was beneath it."This slingshot was actually useful, thanks for that Amarico!" Faye then puts the slingshot back inside her backpack, looking at the gate that they will soon enter."You guys ready for this?" Amarico then helped Mizu get over to them as they then turned to the gate."I should give a brief rundown to her Manor... There's 3 levels overall and the last one is where she resides" Faye then drew on the ground, luckily there was a small patch of dirt "The first floor had a ton of... Celtors, I assume?" Faye then started to draw each floor correspondingly. Each of them having a drawing or two."I can't even call them real Celtors... Or people... They followed the Duchess around like they were robots and always said 'We shall return Celtor back to it's former glory' gives robotic vibes don't you think?" Faye then went to the second floor"Nex
"Holy! There's so many of this Gargoyles! I swear I can count them with my eyes closed!" Faye then bashed one's body with her greathammer. She then grabbed the dead Gargoyle's body and threw it to the other Gargoyles."Where did she even get this much?! And I thought it was Celtors?!" Amarico then punched one's beak as it flail around, hitting it's comrades and the pillars around them."Either in the Aratel Sea or possibly made Artificially!" Ada then threw a shadow dagger on the monster's eyes as it screamed in pain. She then used Faye's body as a boost for her jump as she then striked it down."But enough talking for now we literally need to get to that elevator over there so we can at least progress down this dungeon!" Faye then one handed her hammer, she then used her other hand to use her shield"Follow my lead! Don't stop!" Faye then shouted, she then starts to rush through the Gargoyles, some going away to not get hit by her."You heard her, go!" Ada then followed behind, then
"What possess you to enter my kingdom in this uninvited matter, my dear madaam" Raven asked as she drank her cup of tea.The group and her were now in a room, it was royalty like... Much like she was enjoying the time of her life because of this."Raven... I came to discuss to you to stop this nonsense on what you are doing right now, don't you see how many lives you've already taken?""Oh my, what do you mean by lives I've already taken? I don't see anyone resisting whatsoever"Just then, a celtor went inside a room with a tray of snacks along with cups and a teapot."They all wanted this, look, they also enjoy it as well" Raven then clapped her hands as the celtor then went towards them and placed the tray down. They were wearing a blindfold and their movement looked more controlled rather than free will."The hell do you mean enjoying?! THEY'RE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF YOU"Faye then immediately stood up and was about to punch Raven but then Amarico stopped her."Easy, Faye! We can't
Mizu groggily opened up his eyes, he tried to move around but he couldn't. Mizu then looked at his side as he saw that he was chained up. He also saw his companions still knocked out and is in the same situation as he was in.The dimly lit room slowly covered Mizu's sight, he tried to use at least one of his spells to light up the room but he couldn't, it felt like his mana and reservoir was empty.Suddenly the lights of the room lit up as Mizu squinted his eyes to adjust to the brightness. Mizu heard a door open, which in turn he looked at where it came from. It was at his left side, he turned his head to that side in which a male that was the same height as Amarico [5'7] came in, wearing a lab coat and glasses, they were pushing a cart with equipment, surgical equipment to be precise."Ah. It seems like you are awake" The male looked at Mizu as they had a blank face and souless eyes. If Mizu could just read someone's thoughts with just their face, he would've saved so many of those
"Over there!" A female voice shouted as a group of 5 was running towards a big gate as something was chasing them, it looked like angels but they were carrying spears and were shooting lightning type of bullets right at them."We just need to start that elevator and we're long gone!" A male voice then shouted as the group of 5 went on, but one went towards the lever to pull it down. Slowly the elevator started ascending, it was slow."We won't get on the top in time!" Another female voice said in a panicked tone as the group then prepared for their last stand."Don't!"Then a male shouted as they grabbed his sword, it was glowing a orange type of flame that slowly started to become azure "You guys stay there, I'll hold them off"The angels slowly started approaching the group. They started to throw the same balls of light, the man however parried it towards the angels, hitting the one who threw it to the group.Then he grabbed a revolver from his side pocket and prepared for a fight o
As Mizu and Trenti were walking, they walked by a Statue of someone. Mizu stopped as he then looked at the statue as there were... Definite features of the statue"Hey uh... Trenti who's this statue about?" Trenti then stopped walking as he walks back a couple of steps "Oh, it's the Queen of Etris"Mizu then looked at the writings engraved onto the stone "Took hold of the place after the Lord eventually died for unknown reasons. The people don't mind at all nowadays, the queen is actually making peace treaties with the other factions unlike the Lord"Mizu then looked around as he noticed something unusual "Wait what? Why did everyone move to the sides""The queen has arrived!" A person shouted as everyone scurried to the sides as well."Come on Kid, let's not get in the way ya know" Trenti said in a hint of panic in his voice as Mizu just followed Trenti.Soon a carriage of some sort was passing through but instead of horses, it was knights with a black palette armor "Make way for the
As the carriage was being carried, a guard was walking at the same pace as they suddenly spoke; "So, Mizu was it? Think I heard that name before" The male guard said as they kept walking "You did?" The guard nodded "Think I remember my grandfather told me it, he was the person that strived to unite every faction if it costs his life" He then sighed, which concerned the male. "It's quite sad that he didn't make it out on the first-ever expedition in The Depths" Mizu then hummed. "I wish I can be like him, just being fearless to everything and trying to save everyone in every way he can" The guard grinned "I believe in you kid, you already look and sound just like him" Suddenly the carriage finally stopped as the guard opened the door for it. Mizu hopped off as he then looked around. "Anyway, you go down the slope and just keep going straight and you'll see the docks" He then closed the door "I'll see you around kid" Mizu then looked at him "What's your name?" The guard then fix
As Mizu and Amarico started walking in the temple, Mizu can hear the clanging of swords and blasting of guns "Wait what was that blast?" Amarico turned around to look at him as she then thought about it "If I remember correctly, the queen started giving out weapons called.. what was it? Guns, there we go" Amarico then shrugged "Etris, along with Isle's of Vigils has been gaining some treaties with the Summer Company lately so I guess it's because of that" Mizu finally understood "But hey, the ones who are actually using the guns are using mantra bullets, basically a weaker version of a real bullet" Mizu nodded "That's good to hear, thought someone might die due to that" The 2 continued walking to their destination, a big training room. There were all types of weapons there from Greathammers to Swords and to Daggers, the room was filled to the brim with weapons "Alright kid pick whatever you want I'll wait for you there" Amarico then went to the arena as Mizu slowly looked at the
