New Life Online: Rise of a new Empire

Chapter 16: The Grimoire Clan

Maximus' POV:

Maximus: We have a little problem. Ms. Celeste got her arm ripped out and a rather... Important soul gem has been taken from us. Your mission is to extract all the info we need and report to us unscathed. If anyone or anything interferes. Take it down.

Unknown man: I shall not fail you my lord. In the name of our Clan.

Rake's POV:

Rake: You have to be kidding me!

Oboro: I wish I was... But that soul gem was too powerful.

Rake: And how did Kaiser manage to kill him?

Oboro: I wish I knew... I did as he instructed.

Rake: Tsk! And the world boss?

Oboro: He is guarded by a lamia and her army of gorgons. There is also a powerful caster who is nullifying the auras of the monsters. And if my instincts did not fail me, there was a minotaur nearby. There was also a petrified player, but I could not save him... My wounds were too severe...

Rake: Don't worry about it. If the alliance is down there they will surely go save him. Now, we all need info from the world boss.

Oboro: The world boss... It was a colossal green light which wore armor... Just his aura was enough to tell you he was strong. He was on an open tomb. He had just awakened. But then, Midas attacked. Rake, he is strong.

Rake: Ok Oboro, rest my friend...

Oboro: Thank you sir.

*Oboro logs out*

Wow, we must really gear up... I will go monster gem hunting. Maybe I could use the map that Dhalia..... NO! No. Leave it to Michael...

Marina: Hey there Rakey!

Rake: Oh. Hey there Marina.

Marina: I have been training like crazy!!! Would you like to have a little battle?

Rake: No thanks. I prefer to go monster hunting. I'll be back in a couple of days.

Marina: And what about school?

Rake: Yeah... About that... It seems my hellish school literally became hell... I have sent Logan to take care of it.

Voltz: RAKE!!!

Rake: Voltz! What happened?!?

Voltz: We have discovered another use for soul gems!

Rake: WHAT?!?!?

Voltz: Come! Let me show it to you!

Rake: Sorry Marina, I really want to see this.

Marina: Fine.

*she inflates her cheeks and frowns*

Both Voltz and I went into his lab. He might be a ball of muscles, but he knows his stuff. The reason why he was in the circle is that. He was wanted for his knowledge.

Rake: So, what did you find? Mr. Nuts and Voltz?

Voltz: Listen closely Rake. You know how soul gems bare a certain element right?

Rake: Yes...

Voltz: Now, look at this gun. It has no soul gems on it. Now, let's fire a bullet

*Bam!*

Rake: Nothing strange happened.

Voltz: Exactly. But if we place a water crystal and an earth crystal both from imps, then look at what happens.
