The Inner Gambit of Darkness - Continued (Part 4)

Swiping up her sword quickly and re-sheathing it, Lyn backed up a few more paces on the drum, continuing her assault of arrows on the hands.

"Finish it!" she yelled as loudly as she could to those still fighting the eye up-close. "Now!!!"

Verron decided now would be a good time to jump in, though she was on the opposite side of the drum. "HEADS UP!" With that, she threw her dagger, burrying it in Bongo's eye and narrowly missing Dane's head. She laughed. "whoops! clumsy me!"

Dane's yell at Verron was drowned out by the screech given off by the monster. The creature dissolved into a black mist and sunk into the drum, never to return.

The sinister aristocrat appeared where the monster had vanished, an amused smile upon his face.

"So you managed to destroy my puppet. I would congratulate you, but your only reward is a more painful death...brought by my own hands."

"Tch." Sergius scoffed "You really are up yourself aren't you."

Lyn didn't hesitate by changing her bow's aim from the destroyed monster to Veritas; her arrow was pointed straight between the bastard's eyes, and her own eyes were narrowed into slits.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't plunge this arrow straight through your skull," she hissed, her voice practically dripping acid.

Dalikos had rejoiced when the thing dissolved, but as soon as Veritas popped up, he held his sword at the ready.

"Well, we've beat that monster thing, so what makes you think that we will be so easy to beat?"

"feh. bring it on, Prissy." Verron scoffed, holding her sage sword at the ready.
