The Phoenix Order

Chambered Cube

"Daniel Wright," Abigail said as she walked towards the paladin, beside him was his right hand man, Nikandros, "It's a pleasure to be working again with you, Lady Abigail," Daniel greeted as the two parties met as one, "I see young Zorina was able to get powers," Nikandros said as he got us from the stone he was sitting on, "And who are the younglings?" Daniel asked, "The Lightning Warriors mr. Wright, we are here to aid Lady Abigail's war against whoever this icy foe may be." Kazuko said as he looked at him. "Where's the other Immortals?" Melvin asked, "Dont worry about it Mel, they're still protecting the cube, we cannot let that artifact fall into the wrong hands."

And in the cave entrance, Ivhek, Sorrichiro, Alexander and a new mage, Malik, all stood as they looked at it. Alexander was the first to break the silence with a small laugh, "This place? is this really where the Elementis Core is held?" He said as he played with his cards, setting the perfect spells for a close encounter attack, "Indeed I have to say, this place is well hid." Ivhek replied, "Until now." Sorrichiro said as he walked in, his dark form transformed into that of Galgavun's.

"Stay close, but hidden." He said to the three and they nodded, "Brothers!" Sorrichiro said, greeting the orcs, "Your back," Guppy said, as he approached but what quickly met by a cold sharp dagger piercing his green skin. "Now!" he said, Alexander unleashed his cards, creating explosions to distract the orcs, Ivhek rushed out with his arm blades leading the charge he did as he sliced them with deadly precision and Malik stood close as he casted a protective shield to his allies while poisoning the air inside the cave, any surviving orc was gassed by the poison and passed out, Drogor was the last of all of them and he held his sword defiantly towards the four of them. "I..... do not, let strangers in." He said as he glared, but he got no response from them, but he was only stabbed behind by Ivhek, "Dont play as a hero." He coldly said as he dropped Drogor's lifeless body into a pit. "Now, let's get the Elementis Core." Ivhek said as he led the charge.

Alaric and Vespera stood at the entrance of the chamber, waiting for what will happen next. "Halt!' Alaric's voice boomed, "Foes of the light, we Immortals." He glared at them, "Shall take your life." Vespera finished the sentence and both of them charged towards the four fighters, Malik wasn't quick enough and was flung out of the way, taking him out of the fight, Ivhek battled against Alaric while Sorrichiro and Alexander team up on Vespera, all five of them were fighting with all their might.

Their clashes reverberated through the jagged stone corridors. Ivhek felt his muscles tense up under his leather armor, his eyes gleaming with a deadly focus. Twin arm blades were fastened to his forearms, their edges curving wickedly like the fangs of some feral beast. "You can't stop this," Ivhek growled, his voice a low rumble that echoed off the stone. He shifted his weight, crouching low as his arm blades gleamed with lethal intent. "You think you're a wall between me and those artifacts? I'll cut through you like any other obstacle." "I think you mistaken the king as a peasant." Alaric said as he swung his sword towards him, his shield raised slightly, prepared for Ivhek's inevitable lunge. His voice was calm, betraying no hint of fear or uncertainty.

"I've held the line against far worse than you, stranger. You and your allies won't make it past me. Hikari will be gone before you get a chance to touch those artifacts."

Without another word, Ivhek darted forward, his speed blurring as he closed the distance between them. His left arm blade sliced through the air, aimed for Alaric's throat. The clang of steel on steel rang through the cave as Alaric expertly parried with his sword, his shield coming up just in time to block the follow-up strike from Ivhek's right blade.

Ivhek snarled, pushing against Alaric's shield with brute force, trying to drive him back. Alaric's boots skidded slightly on the loose gravel, but he held firm, planting his feet as he thrust his sword forward, aiming for Ivhek's exposed side. Ivhek twisted, the blade grazing his leather armor but not penetrating. He used the momentum of the dodge to sweep both blades upward in a vicious arc, forcing Alaric to retreat a step.
