"Blaaaa I have all her brains smashed on my heel." Allatu looks down at her blood-filled heel.
"We will clean it up later, we have to continue until we find out who is behind it," Asteri replies, quickly cleaning his blade and rewinding it.
"But where should we go? This castle is certainly not small" she says "actually ..." Asteri replies.
'Hey partner, do you know how we could track down the culprit?'
'There is a way, close your eyes and focus your senses on the bodies of these dead dogs, you should be able to see a faint magical flow going in one direction ... hoping it's not too late' finished explaining, Asteri concentrates on the bodies of the dead wolves, Allatu looks at him to understand what he was doing. After a few seconds Asteri could see what looked like a very fine gray thread going in one direction.
"Let's go in that direction Allatu," he says as he followed that thread.
"... ok" Allatu looked confused but she didn't ask questions and followed Asteri. After a while they arrived in front of a staircase that led to underground propables.
"It looks like we now have a direction to head in," Asteri begins to descend. After having finished going down the stairs they found themselves in an even more gloomy place "I know it is useless to say but ... they are the underground" says Allatu "let's go on" says Asteri with his eyes still closed I follow that thread, which seems to be dissipating .
"What door ... it looks like one of those placed before a throne room, but here in the basement?" Allatu seemed perplexed "maybe humans lived above and below ... dwarves?" Asteri says.
"I don't think there is such a thing ..." Allatu replies.
"Let's go in" Asteri opens the door which was half open. Inside they found a large hall with columns and at the end of the room there was a throne which, however, seemed not to be its place but that they moved it from another room is placed here "there is someone" indicates Allatu on throne. In fact, a figure was sitting on the throne. And in that moment Asteri opened your eyes.
"Well, well then the infamous adventurers have arrived ... but this time you are only two, what a pity" the figure on the throne speaks, from her voice you could understand that it was a female, but you could not see clearly because she was obscured .
"From your sentence I assume that you have already met our colleagues ... where are they?" the figure chuckles "can't you see them? they are right here with us" saying this in the shadow of the columns came four figures, two humans, a dwarf and an elf "
"Too late ..." Asteri whispers seeing a gray cloud over their eyes, they had become undead.
"You're satisfied, now why don't you have a good reunion with your friends" says the figure snapping his fingers. Immediately the elf draws his bow and shoots an arrow towards Asteri, who dodged but was surprised to see that one of the two humans appeared in front of him holding a two-handed sword, just like Asteri. But the latter immediately responded by parrying the blow with his sword 'he is stronger than those wolves ...' Asteri thinks seeing that the enemy was of the green grade nine core. But at the same time the other human appeared from behind Asteri, holding two daggers and pointing to both sides. Asteri instinctively used his second misstep of the day, he only had one left. He immediately threw a fireball that the warrior cut with his sword, causing it to explode by taking it in full, while the rogue avoided it 'he has not moved in the least ...' thinks Asteri seeing the warrior. From the smoke left after the explosion the warrior appeared charging Asteri, he had only a few burns on some patch of skin.
'It will be tough, but it's exciting' Asteri smiled, turned and parried the blow of the rogue's dagger. While Allatu dodged the arrows of the elf, who was in the eighth degree of the green core, while the dwarf remained with the shield in defense of the archer and with an ax held in the other hand, he was in the seventh degree of the core green 'with that dwarf in the middle I can't hit the elf with the whip' thinks Allatu while swinging the whip and dodging the elf's arrows "ahahahaha just dodge or parry the attacks of your companions, if you continue so you won't end up anywhere "laughs the figure sitting on the throne.
Asteri was not in a pleasant situation with the rogue, who was in the sixth grade of the green core, hitting him from behind, he is the warrior in front of him 'this situation is quite annoying, let's move things a bit' thinking this Asteri, while parrying the blows of the enemies, he let his magic power flow to his right arm, which you could clearly see his veins taking colors from gold, to purple and finally blue, through the skin.
As soon as the warrior swung a blow, Asteri replied with a punch by breaking the warrior's blade, and it did not end here the fist advanced towards the warrior's head which made it explode. The rogue took advantage of it and he tried a new dagger stroke which, however, Asteri grabbed with the strengthened arm and pulled it away, despite the difference in rank, Asteri had more physical strength. The rogue did not care and blows with the other dagger but the boy defeated the blow with the sword and killed him as he had done with the warrior. Instead Allatu taking advantage of the fact that he was dodging the arrows came close enough to use misstep and go after the elf. The tip of the whip had already become a claw and with that of her he pierced the elf's chest and that of the dwarf which shocked her because they were taller than her, but evidently they were the benefits of Asteri. But unable to kill them with this alone, Allatu's whip swung across the dwarf's neck and beheaded him at the same time. Allatu grabbed the elf's head and channeled an explosive beam that blew up the elf's head.
