Avilien: Tutorial islands

End

Lava dripped from the walls of the town hall, from the rafters and the roof as Damocles hurled Lava around the room. It stuck for a moment before then exploding causing the building to shake. He planned to bring the entire building down on Luke. Luke having to dodge every little piece of falling debris and the abilities themselves were beginning to feel the horrendous side effects of the ability he was using. Pain like no other coursed through his entire body as he rushed around Damocles like a circling shark.

Earlier, Luke had to dismiss his sword due to a Magma bomb being attached to it. The bomb vanished with the sword but now he didn't know if he summoned it would the bomb return? Damocles had cracked and roared with laughter as Luke ran rings around him. Nate and Atom retreated to the opening hole in the roof and stayed out of the battle, smoke clouding their presence.

"Can't run forever, Awesome Biscuit! I'll bring this entire building down on your head! Lava Pillar! Lava Pillar! Lava Pillar!" Damocles had lost all composure. Ability after ability chased Luke down and destroyed more of the building. It couldn't take much more.

Bombs exploding, vats of towering lava and the crumbling building were much to contend with. Through it all, Luke kept an eye on Damocles's dwindling mana.

"Fight me! Fight me!" roared Damocles as he continued to cast more towering infernos, up until he ran clean out of mana.

No abilities being produced as Damocles called their names the fighting spirit and the manic laughter drained from his face. He stood gripped by fear as Luke halted. Launching an empty hand Luke summoned Crackling Thunder like a javelin and shot it across the room. It rocketed and pierced straight through Damocles. The Lava Bomb still attached blew up in his face before Luke then used the blip mechanic. Teleporting to his sword and ripping it out Luke hacked and slashed at Damocles in quick succession causing the man to fall backwards on ten health.

"The name is Luke. Not Awesome Biscuit." Luke looked down at the man who now clawed at the floor.

"I won't go down," mumbled Damocles. "I won't. I won't," he continued.

Ready to deal the final strike Luke came inches away from his sword connecting and then leapt backwards. Damocles launched upwards with one of his swords as the other pulled clumps of his hair out.

"I won't lose to you. I will not lose to a child." Damocles ripped more of his hair as his health and mana went back to full.

Luke couldn't understand what was happening. Damocles wouldn't fall no matter how many times he beat him down. Luke was spent, his stamina in negative. If the battle continued he would end up like Split and pass out.

"What's wrong, kid? Round three isn't over!" Damocles now pulled at his face.

"No, your fight is over. Awesome Biscuit is the winner. Seeing as you intend to cheat, I will now intervene." Nate now jumped down through the billowing smoke and landed between Luke and Damocles.

"A worthless Necromancer. What can a level three do against me?" Damocles tilted his head to the side with his hand still pulling at his face.

Nate with a pleasant Smile used his collection ability and summoned Loopa behind the fragile minded Damocles. Loopa casting Encumberment and catching Damocles.

"Not that you are aware, but you lost the moment you captured me and allowed me to live. Now stand there and turn to ash. I'd finish you myself, but he has a bigger issue with you than I do." Nate pointed up to the wounded Atom.

Atom, barely able to stand had absorbed all the smoke as he held one hand in the air. The roof of the town hall had been ravaged by flames, but the flames too had been absorbed leaving the wood unstable and burnt. Every inch of Atom's mana bar had been depleted as high above him and high above the town hall was a giant ball of fire. Like a miniature sun, it shined bright and radiated more heat than the flames inside the hall.

Swigging down a mana potion that Bones pilfered earlier, Atom powered up his ability further, until the miniature sun grew bigger than the town hall. The look of dread on Damocles's face made Nate lick his lips.

"We shall take our leave. It has been a delight staying with you," Nate smirked and turned to Luke. "Atom is an Elementalist. The more damage he absorbs the more power it gives him. He absorbed all the fire from earlier as I healed him up. We don't want to be here when he hurls that thing," explained Nate as he left through the entrance to the town hall.

Feeling like his battle was voided Luke stood for a second watching Loopa cast constant Encumberment spells on Damocles. He couldn't run and he sure as heck couldn't block Atom's ability.

"Break into pieces you beeping beep. And don't beep beep..." Atom fell silent as once more the game chat restricted him.

Luke watched as Atom launched the sun down on the town hall and then high-tailed it out. The smouldering sun enveloping the entire building and melting every part of it. Damocles could be heard screaming for several seconds before silence fell. Atom's ability devoured the entire building and left a giant crater in its wake. Luke couldn't believe the sheer power behind the ability and he didn't know how he would deal with something of that magnitude coming down on him.
