Crystice and Emmra were both freed from the horribly sticky webs that forced them together and pushed their chests against each other's in a way that was only previously seen in a moth's dream. Now free, Crystice's first priority was, ironically, freeing Ithique. Emmra, on the other hand, focused more on thanking Shaylum by giving her a light hug.
"Hold on, Ithique, I'm going to get you out of there!" she called out to him.
Crystice began firing a few well aimed Missiles towards Ithique, breaking the ice but not harming Ithique in the slightest, only due to the low power that the Missiles had. She successfully broke the already cracked Ice, but then she suddenly felt Emmra being knocked into her, after Emmra was knocked over by Shaylum. Crystice and Emmra quickly recovered, but then Crystice spot the arrow stuck in Shaylum's back. She immediately pulled it out, then Emmra put her hands over Shaylum's back and began calling forth her magic once more...
Crystice then looked over towards Shaylum's attacker, Grey, the last Archer. Violante was already down, so that left only him. Crystice began firing Missiles towards Grey, who simply sidestepped them. He countered with another arrow but Crystice also sidestepped it. Crystice turned a bit to her right side and continued to harass Grey with Missiles as he also counter attacked with Arrows. Neither were successful in their attacks, but one of them had a plan. With Crystice's left hand more or less out of Grey's view, she began creating a Freeze Spell...
When the time was right, Crystice began firing a wave of Missiles across the room between the fighting Kar'thus and Chuckles and the northern wall. There were so many that Grey could not possibly dodge... and then he dropped to the floor and dodged. But little did he know that this was exactly what Crystice had hoped for. He was preparing another arrow on the floor, putting more priority in firing than getting up. This made it even better for Crystice, for now she had a still and vulnerable target.
Crystice did not spare another moment and threw her Freeze Spell in Grey's direction. This time, there really was no way for him to possibly dodge it. At that very moment, Grey also released his own projectile attack. However, at the same time did Crystice's Protect Spell finally wear out... and she froze in fear as she realized what was about to happen. It was too late, there was nothing she could do now... The arrow soared through the air and pierced the flesh of its victim, and then Crystice placed her hands over her chest as her heart felt a terrible pain...
Emmra, meanwhile, was calm and at peace within her mind as she continued to summon up her sacred healing magic. She quietly hummed an old lullaby to herself as she performed her magic. It didn't take long for her to finish, but she still most certainly took her time casting the Spell. This Heal Spell was not as strong as the last, but still fairly powerful in that it restored 21% of Shaylum's health.
Emmra stood up and smiled warmly towards Shaylum, speaking cheerfully, "There you go~! All better again~!"
Now I wonder how Crystice is.
Emmra suddenly gave out a loud and deafening shriek... Utterly shocked, she fell to her knees, feeling a terrible pain overcome her within her chest.
She looked down, seeing an arrow coming right out of her chest. Her vision quickly blurred as tears filled her eyes, born from the unbearable pain that began to engulf her.
"EMMRA!!" Crystice exclaimed before rushing over to her sister's side.
Emmra looked up, only seeing Crystice's blurry figure move towards her swiftly.
Emmra began to crawl towards her sister, her voice sounding incredibly weak, "...Crystice... help... me... it hurts... so much..."
Crystice quickly grabbed a hold of Emmra, "Hold on, Emmra...! I'm going to take you to saftey...!"
Emmra fell forward towards Crystice, her eyes shut as she blacked out and fell unconscious. Crystice tried to carry Emmra as best as she could, heading for the Steel Door. She stopped, only to turn to Shaylum.
Crystice's voice was filled with her anger, with absolute firmness and resolve fueled by her fury, "Shaylum. Take out that Archer. Don't kill him... I want him alive so that I can personally make him PAY for what he did!"
Crystice then left the battlefield.
Meanwhile...
Chuckles continued to attack Kar'thus. He held a significant advantage, being more experienced and armed with two powerful Spells. However, his Protect Spell soon wore out. But it didn't matter, for he didn't need it to have victory. But then he noticed Violante crawling towards the exit, realizing her terrible wound. She kept bleeding and losing her health, but Chuckles could do naught. Then, right in front of the exit did she collapse, falling unconscious... or so Chuckles hoped.
"Damn!" Chuckles muttered.
Then suddenly, Chuckles heard an electric charge. His eyes widened, and moments later, his fears realized. There was a powerful zap as Chuckles was struck by the Lightning Traps, followed by the Sentry Traps. Chuckles fell to his knees, completely vulnerable and significantly wounded.
"Ugh... damn it!!" Chuckles muttered again, this time in a far more agitated tone.
Just then, various electrical bolts stormed into the room from the southern entrance. These bolts of Lightning were accurately aimed at both Kar'thus and Shaylum. Shortly after, Rikiu entered the scene. Buffed by Speed, as quick as the Lightning he fired, he charged up another bolt of Lightning and released it upon Ithique.
"Rikiu... did Sheer send you...?" Chuckles asked him.
"Commander Chuckles! Quickly! I shall cover your escape!" Rikiu told him.
"As... as you will..." Chuckles replied as he slowly began to return to his feet.
Rikiu then swiftly attacked Kar'thus, "Face me, Black Knight! I have yet to meet a foe capable of bringing me to my defeat!"
Chuckles began making his escape. He was slow, at first, but began to regain some more of his speed. He stopped in front of Violante, then picked her up and put her over his shoulders and continued on his way...
Rikiu, meanwhile, kept a careful eye on both Shaylum and Ithique as he engaged with Kar'thus. He was definitely no fool to forget about Kar'thus' support. Multi-tasking between several foes was something he was good at.
Crystice and Emmra were within the small empty area just north of the Guard Room. Crystice held Emmra in her arms then pulled out the arrow within her.
She began to speak up to Tesonu, "Please, Tesonu... heal her..."
