Chapter 125: The First Herald
Tyr sends wave after wave of skin blistering spiralling fire spells at the mutated scientists. All around him just like SKY Ocean Hunter Tyr is moving like a demon-possessed. SKY Ocean Hunter has cast his rainfall forcing Tyr to spam his fire magic this confluence has generated a large mist barrier inside the lab. This mist is a natural barrier protected by the life-stealing Styx. The upper private labs are like temples for personal research unlike the ground dedicated to the pursuits of the Institution the scientists all indulge in any research that took their fancy. While there are some nice finds around. For the most, they have been swarmed by the Mutated scientists' teams. It seems that per lab there are about thirty to forty scientists. This also means that the scientist didn't put much stock in the main mission which was some kind of self-sustaining power source for the Flower Garden Fort.
They clear lab after lab after collecting experience points and random loot. Given the number of advances class alone the amount of loot. They have will allow them to outfit a number of players. The fourth lab takes up half of the floor and is the next area where the boys meet some resistance. The foul energy is at its thickest in this lab. In the far corner, a visible white grey mist floats up off the body of Wolfhound with seven lifeless white eyes. Pale yellow tongue dripping acid and translucent claws. Even as they get closer to the boss it doesn't react to them. Eventually they are standing looking at it. Years of gaming has made the boys weary of enemies who are relaxed when players are around. It is unusual enough to have a boss this strong just sitting here in a challenge mode.
SKY Ocean Hunter says, "This boss should be roaming. A conventional challenging dungeon should have a random boss encounter. Deviations from the norm mean he is either trapped, terroritorial, which doesn't make sense in this situation. Or maybe he is guarding something." The Wolfhound growls st that last comment peaking with open. SKY Ocean Hunter, Tyr and Styx all tank the fear spell. Each of the boys has much higher than normal resistance especially SKY Ocean Hunter.
Styx says, " He is clever too, just now he responded like a gaurd dog I bet that is meant to throw us off. The vault is in the basement he is trying to do something. Be careful im not sure he is a regular boss. Wait Hermano do you its a he or she or some other thing." Styx knows how crafty some bosses can be the lack of prior proper organized defense says to him this boss is cunning. By reacting the way it did it is trying to set them up for something. He won't just let this monster have its way they came to succeed.
Tyr says, " I don't know it could be guarding what brought them here. Remember the outside of the building is entirely undamaged. This infestation didn't start which the creatures the cages looked to be rusted rather than that monster over there breaking out and going ham. But yeah we have to be careful of it. It survived we don't know it real strength and it seems intelligent and as for the sex it about as ugly as you so I would a male." SKY Ocean Hunter and Tyr chuckle at that to the displeasure of the Wolfhound.
SKY Ocean Hunter says, " Whatever the case maybe we have a job to do. This isn't going to easy but we knew that already. Do you guys still rest longer or have talked enough." This is also part of his strategy like the boss put on airs if it had known for a spilt second that all of SKY Ocean Hunters spells were still under cool down it would have attacked them. Just like how the monster is playing them they too are playing the monster buying time is a vital skill for any real gamer.
Tyr waves his Obsidian Spear about it is already starting to crack due wear and tear. Even the hammer that SKY Ocean Hunter is using will probably only last another level. Only Styx and his body swords are in tip top condition. Styx says, " Its already on gaurd for us. Even now I can feel it presence all over us. I won't be able to slip away until we start fighting properly." The having been found stands it is a mighty beast indeed standing at ten feet at the shoulder. The Wolfhound tries to say something as a demonic entity speech is part of its make up. It has a Draculian accents with hard "R's"
Serb says, " At last you come to meet your doom. Long have we waited for this day of glory. The lords of heaven shall weep as the fires of hell go dim and life and soul alike are consumed." Every word is spoken with vile certainty and finality as if it has already happened. The boys look at one another only Tyr has an idea but he can't say it yet. SKY Ocean Hunter on the other hand is more disturb the Serb is speaking of the Ruin of Realms. His character SKY Ocean Hunter bio is directly tied to the Ruin of Realms and this cannot be a coincidence.
SKY Ocean Hunter says, " You will wait many more days. I am Severo Kaladin Yami of the Drowned House Sunken Reef, the first true Ocean Hunter in a melenium do your worst child of waste."

Serb says, " Come children let me learn you'll. " He stomps with right leg a large magic seal appears all around them. They are all trapped in there with Serb only by killing him will they be able to go free. Serb being confident in his victory let's them experience his glory.
[Serb level 40 Hundjaeger]
" Are you sure you know what you doing? You said if I collect these items you would so me a way to defeat all my enemies especially those stupid guys who bullied me. Do not get sassy with me I have work hard to make this all happen for you and now you want to add more conditions more scarcrifices. At some point you have to hold your end of the bargain and by some point I mean now. No I really meant I have killed tortured, sacrificed all have for this. You will let eat the hearts of enemies and use their skulls as cup to drink from while I fuck the world. Hear me well when I say I'm your only hope give me something right now I can use or find someone else." Says Jorgen Henderson leader of Frost Empire over the phone. His employer has been up and down his throat about the rise of a new power threathing their position. He is not as worried as his employe as they have their won problems to worry about the moment. Besude the world announcement coming at was is probably the worst time for them. Silver Grass Island the place they have decided to make their home to take advantage of the planned expansion pack at the end of the year is on of the focal points of the demonic invasion. They should be worrying about themselves the forum are saying that a lot of player in kingdoms and empires are being targeted because ethe npcs believe they are too blame for this invasion. The noc powers have already been concerned with how to control the players. Many have advocated for some kind of military response but many others have been against it. Now though the times have changed and players all over the world are starting to feel unwelcome in established powers. This is also not sitting well players as nation are too high level right now so most have no choice but to leave and embark on a dangerous quest towards player held land in remote places.
Jorgen loves the npv as it causes Chaos isweeping the continent meaning that if they can effectively weather this storm they will be poised to be one of the new powers. The displacement will continue for next several months as npc power lead an all out war against players. For now in the pike region four major powers are all trying their best to survive the disaster and grow. The race is just beginning but many people are already taking sides.
