The team went down the Firefighter pole towards the next level as quickly as they could. There was only darkness during their descend but the specter rea.s.sured them that there was no danger waiting for them at the bottom.The team must had descended for five minutes before seeing the landing platform. There was very dim light illuminating the s.p.a.ce but they could still see that some distance away there were two giant doors laying in ruins.
"This is it guys, the last invention against the Dragonkin were those doors you see there but they were destroyed during the invasion so the only thing left to do is defeat lord Darick and release their souls".
After the team heard they didn"t need to worry about anything attacking them in the room, they felt their muscle turned into jelly as they crumble to the floor. Elune had been monitoring Rahz the whole time and she determined he was out of the danger zone, all they had to do now was give his body time to heal itself.
Elune turned her attention to the pouch that dropped from the Second Guardian and started to inspected carefully.
"Is an Enchanted Pouch like the one Rahz was given in Willowdale, use some energy on it and see what is inside" Said the Witch Doctor expectantly.
Elune held it in her hands and started to activate the runes on it.
Whoosh!!
The illusion magic activated and all the contents were revealed, the size of the storage inside the pouch made the one given to Rahz look like an old lady"s coin purse. It was about 5000 square ft and the first thing you could see were gold coins. There were about a million gold coins and all had the picture of a very elegant Dark Elf lady engraved on them.
Jackpot!!!
The Witch Doctor moved in a weird rhythm and cheered to his heart content, it was his money dance. The value of the million gold coins could not be measured with the present day standards, not only were the coins a lot heavier than the ones circulating in the towns but the historic value of a single coin from that era was unimaginable. Collectors would definitely killed to get their hands on one of those and now they had a million!!! It was their lucky break.
Besides the small mountain of gold laid two smaller mountains of throwing weapons, there were two kinds, the previously seen stars and beside them a smaller one with about 100 knives known as Kunai.
Elune reached inside and grabbed one out of the stack to inspect it, there were a lot less knives than there were Shurikens and during their whole year of fighting against Chrysalis they never once saw him use one of those.
It was a very nice knife, it look extremely solid yet it felt light as a feather in her hand. It was a work of art and she decide to use one of them as her off hand weapon.
"It is called a Kunai" Said the specter
"It is a very nice knife"
"Of course it is, It is a weapon exclusive to Master Chrysalis specialization and was forged out of mythril using ancient designs, if used properly there are very few things it can"t go through"
Elune hanged it around her waist and continue looking through the pouch while the Witch Doctor resume his money dance when he heard the comments of the Specter. The last of the items in the pouch were a stack of potions and an ancient book t.i.tle Death by a Thousand Cuts. It was a Skill Book!! Unfortunately, it was useless to them as n.o.body in the team use Chi as energy.
"Gilgamesh come and take a look at this items, I can"t make out what they are"
The Witch Doctor, Gilgamesh, came over and took a look. There were exactly a dozen of them and they were layer by color. There were 4 of each Red, Green and the final were 4 pills that stimulated her rune of the awakened. As soon as the master alchemist took a look, his eyes widen in delight as a smile appeared on his face.
"AH.. good stuff… definitely good stuff… it had lost potency due to the years but for you guys barely in your 10"s they are treasures even more valuable than the gold coins. The red potions are the best healing potions that were available at the time. They could heal a fifth tier warrior without a problem and even though the potency is only about 30%, if you give it to Rahz right now he would be as good as new, even his scars would disappeared without a trace. The green pots are Agility Elixirs I would not be surprised if they increase all of your agilities to the second tier by just having a sip, it won"t be permanent but it could get you out of a very sticky situation. The real jewels are those four pills, by now you probably realize that they have an influence on your rune, as you know the amount of Energy required to increased in levels the higher you go is astronomical and using the usual methods to increased in level was extremely tough without the help of this babies. The real name is Pill of Extreme advancement, however, its most common name was Leveling candy"
"You can leave one for Rahz and have one each to increase your levels, just make sure you let the old guard know so he can tell Rahz when he wakes up as you would go into a deep state of hibernation while you digest the energy inside the pill".
Elune called everyone over and explain the benefits of the pills while she gave one to each of the members. The specter"s face was stoic but a smiled was threatening to creep onto his face while he heard the plan. After all the preparations were done, each of the members took the pill and circulated their energy of heaven and earth while their body shut down little by little.
Three months pa.s.sed before the first member of the team open his eyes and looked around. Ridd.i.c.k scanned the area and saw that he had been the first to processed the energy of the pill and decided to inspect his changes. The most noticeable one was definitely his Level, Ridd.i.c.k was close to Level 17 before taking the Pill of Extreme Enhancement and manage to reach Level 19. Physically, Ridd.i.c.k did not changed much in terms of height but his bones and muscles were incredibly dense increasing his weight by 3 times. For his Level 17 skill Ridd.i.c.k gain the ability Chaos Rush, This ability allowed a Val"gun to created a chaos force field around him and charge forward with increasing momentum and then release all the energy at the moment of impact.
The Val"gun were a high ranking demon species and as such they had command over lower ranking demons. The Level 19 Spell Ridd.i.c.k acquired allow him to summon a masterless low ranking demon to do his bidding.
Ridd.i.c.k found it difficult to try Chaos Rush without interrupting the others so he decided to summon his own little helper. Ridd.i.c.k stimulated his chaos energy and thought about commanding a legion of demons while activating the spell Bloodline Call.
Crackle.. Crackle
A magic portal opened up in the air and very slowly a creature 1 ft in height pa.s.sed through. It was white in color and had a pair of Bat Wings and a three foot tail made out of bone that finished in a harpoon tip. It had 2 small horn in his head and a very old chinese style beard.
"d.a.m.n IT ALL, I AM RETIRED!!! Summons are not supposed to work on me no matter how pure the bloodline!!".
Without paying attention to the person who summon him, the Old Imp continued his rant while ma.s.saging his beard "Hmmm.. Who could it be..Who could it be….Sigh.. There are just too many.. Too many sly old geezers that want to see me suffer.. I guess I just have to convinced the youngster to return me"
A sly face appeared on the Old Imp as he finally looked up to see whose kid had summon him.
"Servant?" asked Ridd.i.c.k
The old imp couldn"t believe what he was seeing, purple skin, deep black eyes with no pupil, reptilian face with purple teeth, and a flame like crown for a hair. The old guy rub his eyes and said "It can"t be"
"You can"t be Servant?"
The words brought the Imp back to reality and he finally realized that he was no longer in the Abyss. The Old Guy threw himself towards Ridd.i.c.k and grabbed on hug his arm while rubbing his face on it "Young Master you were born"
Ridd.i.c.k tried to shake the old guy off his arm but no matter what he did he just couldn"t do it. Exasperated about the whole situation Ridd.i.c.k asked once more " Servant?"
This time the Imp nodded his head and bit into Ridd.i.c.ks wrist and swallow a few gulps of blood. Immediately, a purple and a red rune appear in the Old Imps back and 2 consciousness were connected to the imps mind.
" NOOOO!!!! HOW CAN YOU HAVE A SOUL SHARING CONTRACT YOUNG MASTER"
Ridd.i.c.k pointed at the s.p.a.ce where Rahz was absorbing the pill and said "KIN". The imp turned to look and realized that the person that seem to be asleep possessed Chaos Energy and it was probably the reason why his young master was able to hatch.
The Old Imp knew he couldn"t change the situation but he vow to destroy Rahz if he found out that his young Master was being treated unfairly.
The Old Imp bended at the waist and did a salute with the utmost elegance.
"My name is Igor, Level 19 Chaos Imp , I can go invisible, attack using Chaos fire, and I can patch heal members of the Demon Race"
