Tyrant 74 General Acharya Part 3

Looking at Ridd.i.c.k's injuries from the Air Element clone the team gathered yet another piece of information that could be the decisive factor in their fight against the General, the clone's damage was low, they had been so afraid of the chants that they overlook the fact that by splitting itself General Acharya lower her damage.

The wounds on Ridd.i.c.ks back look more like scratches than anything else and this gave the group a lot more courage to meet the General head on. It was true that if it was a one on one fight, she would probably be impossible to beat but they were 4 people and all of them were very strong in their own way.

"The third time's the charm" With that statement the team moved in once more and for the third time saw the general split up, Earth, Wind, and Fire appeared this time. Rahz smiled at the set up and knew that if there was a time to beat this boss level character it was there and then.

The Earth Element clone move to the back while Wind and Fire started their spells trying to stop them from interrupting the forbidden spell. Rahz activated Immolation aura and rush towards the Wind Clone while Ridd.i.c.k used his chains to lock it in place. In the meantime, Midori was heading towards the chanting clone underneath the Earth.

The Fire clone made a choice and try to deter Rahz from attacking his companion but to his surprise the fire died in the Immolation Aura and actually made it stronger. After being tied up by Ridd.i.c.k there was very little that the Clone could do as Rahz flew through the air using Leaping Strike and cut the clone diagonally from the right shoulder all the way to the hip.

The Fire clone had no other choice but to use everything in his a.r.s.enal to stop Rahz from heading towards the Earth Clone but nothing work as the immolation Aura made Rahz immune to fire that was weaker than his.

Midori jumped from the ground as the shield from the lotus flower activated and knocked her back. The recoil from the impact was pretty big and also managed to move the clone ever so slightly making it fumble some of the words but not enough to interrupt the complete cast.

"AGHHHH"

Rahz screamed as he rush and used Pulverizing Wave to move the clone one more time stalling for a little bit of time. This two delays were critical as they managed to slow down the completion of the cast. When the shield from the artifact banished, Ridd.i.c.k went to town raining Chaos Fireb.a.l.l.s on the Earth clone who didn't have a choice but to use Fade to teleport away.

Mission accomplished!!!

Rahz continued to press on but right before the Axe reach the Earth Clones body, the fire clone disappeared and she use the invulnerability time the Spell triplication provided to bounce the Axe backwards.

It was a masterpiece the way the general handle the situation and showcased the exquisite control and understanding she had over her spells. Only somebody close to the apex could have the experience and knowledge to pull that off.

Rahz Axe was bounced back while the splitting happened but instead of feeling frustrated he sneered and got ready. He grabbed the axe with both hands and a.s.sume a stance that indicated and upward swing and just waited for the split to finished.

It was very difficult to get close enough to the General at the beginning of the fight but now that the group manage to stop the first forbidden spell, Rahz was only 5 ft from her while her clones were appearing.

Rahz timed his next skill the best he could, to him it didn't matter which clone was popping off from the general as he was going to incinerated all of them. He was about to use the skill he got when the contract with Ridd.i.c.k was formed, It needed all 5 chaos runes plus half of Ridd.i.c.k's Energy that would be taken through the purple rune in Rahz's back.

As Ridd.i.c.ks energy came to him, Rahz could feel an overwhelming power about to explode.

ARGHHHH!!! C H A O S E R U P T I O N !

Whoosh!

Rahz swung his Axe upward and one second later a huge pillar of Purple Chaos Fire shot towards the ceiling and engulfed all three of the clones. The shield from the Elementium Item once again activated protecting the main Clone but the others were not so lucky. It was Rahz and Ridd.i.c.k own forbidden spell.

Rahz Cough of blood after using the skill but there was no time to lose, he knew what was coming and need it to move behind a pillar.

HISSS!!

Midori activated Petrifying Gaze as soon as the fire pillar dissipated and caught the General just dropping her shield.

Flash!!!

Acharya barely manage to cover her eyes but the Energy still managed to paralyse her for a couple of seconds. "Judgement!Punishment!" Ridd.i.c.k cast his Chaos Chain while Elune cast Icy Winds to slow her movement and Midori used Tail Whip to send the general flying against one of the columns in the room.

BOOM!!

The impact knock the Elementium Flower off the General's Hand and as luck will have, it roll towards Elunes feet.

Elune picked up the item and her jaw drop, It was truly a masterpiece. While Elune was busy checking the loot and trying to figure out how it worked,Rahz was landing Devastating Blow after Devastating blow on Acharya like a possessed person,.

"Try feeding it some of your energy" Said the Witch Doctor.

The moment Elune put some of her Energy in, she could feel 3 Runes activating underneath the plate. She activated the first one with her energy and the shield that Achaya had been using for protection appeared around her.. " this is awesome" The amount of energy the rune took from her was considerable but the benefits outweigh the cost by a lot.

The second rune was a support skill but it showed that whoever created the artifact thought it through. The moment the rune was activated the Elementium Flower Shone and mana flow towards Elune's body at a rate 30% faster than before.

"This is insane!!"

Elune activated the third rune and noticed that the mana that was flowing in faster could also be used faster as well, this increased casting speed by 20%. After determining the functions of the artifact she inspecting it for things that she had missed and was surprised to find at the bottom of the plate and inscription that said:

Elementium Lotus Flower

By Genius Albert Fizzlecast

"Yeah I said it, I am a Genius"

Elune couldn't denied that it was a masterpiece by modern standards and if the creator wanted to flaunt a little, who was her to contradict him.

Pant!! Pant!!

Elune looked in the direction of the sound and saw Rahz on his knees catching his breath and the Corpse of General Acharya divided into at least 20 pieces. It was finally over and they still had a day left to move to the next level.

"Well done guys and congratulations on The Elementium Lotus Flower, I never doubted you for a second. The Lotus Flower is the perfect item for you young girl, with it you won't have to worry about mana and can cast as many spells as you like. It was the general's most precious possession and it is a very powerful artifact. The Stairs to the next levels are located at the far end of the room and there is no door on them as it was destroyed by the Dragonkin during the invasion. Once you are ready, we can continue to the next floor for the Second Challenge"

Rahz and the others looked at each other and let out a very happy laugh. They had beaten a General of the great era and to them it was a great achievement. After resting for a few minutes they went to the back of the room where they found the stairs heading down towards the next floor.

The stairs were a little peculiar, when they started their descend there was a wall to each side of them preventing the group from going right or left; however, the right wall disappeared at some point and they were able to see the full view of the next room and it was amazing.

As they came down the stairs the Royal Guard gave them a brief introduction to the room they were about to step into.

"The next room is known as the Labyrinth and it is the hunting ground of the Second Guardian Master a.s.sa.s.sin Chrysalis"
