Avilien: Tutorial islands

Witness

Trix pulled at his clothes and drummed his foot on the roof slates. He'd watched the fight from the first blow, even in the town hall as he viewed it through the windows. Never had he seen a fighter as slimy as Damocles. To beat Luke how he had couldn't be called a satisfying victory. Not even a victory to be proud of.

"Sorry, little brother. Your master is done for. Trix will deliver your revenge." Rajin lowered his head as Nebs stood at his side.

"Not a chance my master is done in. He'll win this or I'll resurrect him and strangle him myself. My potato meal ticket won't go down, he won't." Nebs tried to reassure himself. He recalled Luke battling the last time and gulped.

Down below Damocles continued his fit of laughter causing Brit to shake and clutch her arms. Afeared of the man she could do nothing as he moved towards Luke.

"So this is Awesome Biscuit everyone! You're meant to be the greatest of solo players? Pathetic. More like a silly little nerd and a silly little kid. Salamay cast Encumberment on him, don't want him trying anything."

Lance erupted with rage and tried to rush towards Damocles but Moto barred his path with a giant Warhammer in hand. Cissy managed to break through the lines but both her and Nagori found a LavaBlast waiting for them as Damocles shot them back out of the fight. Luke had to watch both girls fly across the street, Cissy smacking her back off of a lamppost and Nagori hitting a shop wall.

In need of health as he could no longer stand Luke managed to activate his holo watch. The effects of the gore scroll wearing off and giving him the use of his arms.

"Salamay Encumber him now so I can deal the final blow." Damocles now looked at Salamay as she stood behind Luke.

"You tried to delete me," she stammered.

"And? That kid could quite well be Awesome Biscuit. Would you not have me with the greatest achievement of taking him down?" Damocles held a blank expression. "Encumber him now. Or Else!" snarled Damocles as he charged LavaBlast into his swords.

As the drama between Salamay and Damocles unfurled, Luke managed to swap abilities. He stood up with full health and parried two lava infused swords as they came at him and Salamay. Fire met with ice and thunder as the swords ground against one another.

"Impossible!" raged Damocles as he tried to kick Luke.

Luke bounced back and then used the blip technique to get square in Damocles's face. With bound up rage, Luke struck Damocles hard and sent him backwards.

"That is for Brit!" he yelled before using Thunder Bounce to close the distance again.

"This is for Nebs and Quinn!" continued Luke through mad screams of rage and vicious strikes against a bewildered Damocles.

On his knees and health looking worse for wear, Damocles's head spun as Luke walked towards him.

"And this. This is for my guild!" Luke hit Damocles square in the jaw with another fist and sent him flying onto the pavement.

Moto's jaw dropped and Lance laughed. Crawling and pulling themselves up both Nagori and Cissy joined in the laughter as did Trix. Brit, once gripped in fear looked down the street at Luke. Always seen as a friend, Luke now had this dazzling aura surrounding him. It was so bright it was like he was the sun. She couldn't look without shielding her eyes. He was Awesome Biscuit. Her beloved, her everything, and lastly, her husband.

Fear broke and gave way to sheer crazy, Brits kind of crazy. The beaten down and trodden all over girl returned. Stars and hearts in her eyes as gawped at Luke. A love that wouldn't be reciprocated.

"Don't sell my master short again," said a hyperventilating Nebs as Quinn patted him on the back and tried to make him better.

"Our master, sir Nebs," exclaimed Quinn.

"The kid is likeable. I'll give him that. But it isn't his guild." Trix smirked as he relaxed a little. "He is still in a pinch. With that ability, he can't take a single bit of damage or its game over. Even a rock falling on his head would put him out."

"He took the untouchable ability, didn't he? He's crazy!" claimed Rajin.

"Sir Luke will be okay. Have faith in him," continued Quinn as he looked at Rajin and Trix.

"To fight like this though. It is like he has no fear of deletion. People like that are few in number and those few are truly insane. Even I fear deletion," said Trix as he walked the rooftop to get a better view. Luke had smacked Damocles once more and sent him back into the town hall.

Flames had all but vanished inside the hall, the roof burnt to cinders and on the verge of collapse. Damocles with less than fifty health gasped for air as he lay on his back looking up. Guild banners had burnt to ash, all his merchandise had been freed and his little kingdom was crumbling around him.

Townhall door frames falling off the wall as Luke proceeded inside he kept his senses alert. Aware that Nate and another player were in the room. Luke figured they had something to do with the fire vanishing. The blue-haired lad called Atom had less than a hundred health and looked in terrible shape as he rested against a steel cage. Nate had a relaxed look and smiled. Bones resting on his shoulder. Luke didn't know but Nate had been enjoying every second of the battle.

"Don't dare think you have won," spat Damocles through gritted teeth before opening his holo watch.

Luke wanted to rush in and end it but the move would leave him wide open to an attack from Nate and Atom. A risk he wouldn't take. Instead, he had to suffer watching Damocles health climb back up after using a health potion, a potion Nebs had made for Luke. One that was looted from Luke's inventory back in Mixten.

Getting back to his feet and his health at six-hundred and thirty-seven Damoces hadn't noticed Nate and Atom out of their cells. His eyes set firm on Luke.

"Round three. Sticky Magma!" said Damocles as he threw a ball of magma at Luke. Luke blocked with his sword, but the magma stuck to the blade and wouldn't come off. This left Luke with a bad feeling.
