The Magicians Path Into Dedication [Noir/Adrastos]

“Maybe they were too afraid to get a close-up on your ugly faces. Even I’m regretting being this close. You reek,” sneered Adrastos as he tightly gripped Malevolent Shadow in his right hand. “I wouldn’t worry though; you’re about the be the ones on the menu, and I’ll be making sure it’s painful.” He eyed their opponents carefully. There wasn’t that much space between them, but when the Lizard Knight (B) attacked with its Deep Cleave, Adrastos, knowing he would receive some damage, cast Aqua Canno II  to clash against it while using the blow to stagger back 12m and place himself in front of his comrades. Immediately afterward, he cast Inner Darkness, a cloud of black mist that would be 10m in all directions, at the enemies.

Adrastos didn’t even look at his now injured shoulder. He could feel the blood trickling down his arm and dropping onto the sand below, sizzling against the heat. The wound wasn’t bad; the magician refused to let it become his downfall. There was too much at stake in this place, and too much he needed to do before dying. The corners of his lips twitched into a smirk. Like hell it would end here.

As the magician had taken the blow from the cleave it seemed aggravated that it had not been able to harm its' prey. It gave an angry stare at them before letting out a hiss. He looked at his friend who had also dealt with his fair share of trouble against his own magician, but he had been lucky enough to deal some damage to the man unlike him. The both looked at each other and were prepared to fight so they ran close to each other and would prepare to strike when the magician sent the field of shadow at them. They would both use Skittering slash to protect themselves which proved to work, one of the knights (A) ran in front of the other who used Knock Back to send him flying towards the silver haired magician and would try to slash him with a basic slash.

While the magician would be preoccupied with the Lizard that came his way, the burrowing worm was upset that his attack had been clashed with and was annoyed at the slight electrical damage he had taken from Noir's attacks, but he would continue his pursuit. As the shadowy field started to come his way used Gnarl to protect himself, it seems as if there was some trouble so he would have to rethink his approach so he then used Run Away to burrow deep within the ground. It would wait for the time to strike but at this moment they would not be able to find the creature and it had the advantage. As they were fighting it would slowly dig its way towards Noir and the creatures waiting for its' opportunity to perform a sneak attack.

Enemies:

Seeing the lizards manage to deal damage to her mentor was not something that she expected to happen. She saw how the blood dripped from Adrastos’ injured shoulder, and, at that moment, anger tried to take over her mind. Each drop of blood dripping to the sizzling sand drove Noir crazy, to think how she could let that happen: She was weak, and at that very moment, her irises changed from the usual golden color to a pair of rubies. They would pay for it, either she would be the one to crush them or her mentor would crush them by himself, either way was fine as long as they wouldn’t be the last one laughing. “Neo!” the black haired girl called. At the very least, she needed to know about his condition before she could make any decision whether to go assist him or not, since she needed to deal with the worm too. The Burrowing Death was now hiding within the ground and it could strike anytime and anywhere, so the female magician used her Flying Carpet. She would take Thyme with her while commanding Haku to aid Adrastos and give her mentor his own space by staying 5 meters behind him so he could attack at ease. Noir would soar through the sky until they reached around 15 meters from the ground. She was not patient and wanted to crush the enemies, but she tried to restrain herself for a little bit, knowing that rushing things could lead into reckless moves. Thus, the black haired girl observed the ground, trying to locate the worm’s whereabouts but would ask for Thyme’s help to look for it too, “Thyme, help me to see the worm. The moment you see it emerging from the sands, alarm me or at least back me up.”

If the worm suddenly struck up, Noir would just hope that the cat would help and also protect her from any incoming attack by using his I Ain’t Scared. After that she would casts 4 black lightning strikes, attempting to deliver a finishing blow to it so she can go to aid her mentor.

These creatures were getting on Adrastos’ nerves. So much so that he didn’t hear Noir calling his alias. The silver-haired man clutched his wand tightly, ignoring the pain that it caused to his shoulder. His eyes stared coldly at the lizards that were in front of him, one charging as the other stood still. “You think you can eat me? You?! Little worms that should be groveling in the sand minding your own damn business… That’s what you should have done instead of blocking our way and threatening to make us food. I’ll flatten you into the sand for such insolence. Bon appetit~!”

Adrastos fed magoi into his wand, allowing him to create a 15m shadow wall to fall on top of the lizards, landing in a way that the spell barely missed its creator by 1m. The blue magician turned to look at Noir and asses the situation. She had sent Haku to him, but the beast would have nothing to do if the lizards were nothing more than a couple of meaty pancakes in the sand. The worm was nowhere to be seen, but was most likely underground, waiting for the perfect time to strike. Adrastos did not have the luxury to sit back and watch with an enemy still alive.

They were caught off guard by the large surprising shadow that soon headed their way, they did not have enough time to realize that it was deadly before it was too late. The massive shadow construct soon consumed them and they had no means of protecting themselves, soon their vision was consumed by it all, it suffocated their vision and soon they were killed by the large construct. When the attack would dissipate they would see that they had managed to kill the lizards, now all that was left to finish was the worm which had buried itself deep in the ground, but soon it would go on the move for its' attack.

As is dug it's way for the earth it used its' memory to remember where they were postioned. It burrowed up through the dirt until it would pop out .5m before the cat and would use Under Pressure to try and damage them but the cat decided to stand his ground using I ain't scared to block the incoming attack but it left the large worm out in the open for the group to attack. As the worm was focused on its' attack the lightning bolts soon shocked it frying the worm leaving it's body spasming for a second, but then all that was left was the carcass of the beast.

Now that they had finished the enemies all they had left to do was go touch the large looming gate that stood before them. They would now be able to move on from the deadly canyon.

Her crimson eyes coldly watched how the worm burnt by her lightning strikes and after confirming it death; Noir maneuvered the Magic Carpet while holding Thyme all the time. She carefully scratches behind the kitten’s ear and praised him for doing a good job, “You are very strong, Thyme. I am very proud of you.” Her tone was warming and very calm despite from how annoyed she was by the creatures, her blood colored eyes were glowing brightly as she stared at the cat. When she approached her mentor, she could notice that he didn’t need Haku’s help after all and could handle it by himself. But still, she was worried about his condition and when she climbed down from the carpet after getting near to Adrastos, Noir immediately approached him.

“Hurt…?” She asked innocently and kept staring at the wound in the silver haired man shoulder. She wouldn’t wait for the man to response and would make the tip of her wand touched the man’s wound. Soon, the tip of the wand produced some kind of ice that would cover his injury and at least could help to stop the blood flow. “I have not learned any healing magic…But this should help a little bit…” It might not a heavy injury but the black haired girl was still trying to treat it with care, the man would be annoyed and she knew he would push her away from him to not let her tend his injury any further. Then after that, she checked her liger and Thyme for any injuries before producing four spheres made from water and let them drink it so they could stay hydrated.

The gate was standing firmly in front of them and based on the previous area, they just need to touch the gate. So she turned her back for one last time to ask, “Ready?” Then she lifted her hand up before slowly bringing it to touch the gate. Things were dangerous and there was no guarantee if it wouldn’t be more dangerous than before, she just need to be prepared and kept her guard up so she could protect her comrade as well and entrusted her life in their hands too. ‘…Im closer to it… one step closer…’

Adrastos paid no attention to Noir until she attempted to freeze over the wound in his shoulder. Immediately, he wanted to shove her away, but her eyes, those long awaited crimson jewels set into her skull, erased his original reaction, replacing it with a mindlessly gentle caress of her soft cheek, his thumb skimming under her right eye as he tilted his head with utter fascination. Oh how he wondered what made her eyes change from piercing yellow topaz to dazzling rubies. Surely they were not like this earlier. Was it because of him being injured? Adrastos smiled in a way that was different than normal. His eyes were soft like the calm trickling of a stream through a spring meadow filled with blossoming flowers, and even his smile, normally twisted with dark desire or hidden secrets, was innocent. The man looked down at his student, who, after this, would no longer be his student when their paths would diverge. With that thought in mind, Adrastos recoiled back into his dark shell.

“I’m fine,” he said as if meaning to sound harsh, yet his words word still as gentle as his face revealed a few mere seconds ago. He was glad that they were the only people here to witness his brief exposure of weakness. After this was all over, he’d leave without a word, before anything could stop him from completing his goals. Once he got a drink, he said, “Let’s go though. We don’t have time to waste.”

Right after Noir touched the gate, Adrastos did the same and awaited for the familiar sensation that transpired when being transported to yet another room.
