Rise of the Inquisition (Arc 4-6)

Chapter 120: Honor of the Wolf King

Paladin was backed up against the stone brick wall of the room, with stone brick debris all over his body, he had his eyes closed as he started to cough. Paladin felt the heavy stone bricks over his chest and legs, but he forced himself up from the stone bricks. Slowly, Paladin moved himself to stand on top of the stone debris. Paladin's armor was scratched from the stone debris falling on his armor, and grey dust was on the back of his white cape. Paladin looked in front of him and he could see Lord Sparrow, he was standing in the center of the room and wasn't moving. Seemingly, Lord Sparrow was waiting for the Lord Inquisitor to make a poor decision.

"Come to me Lord Inquisitor, come fight me one on one and lose like the rest of your fellow Inquisitors!" Lord Sparrow yelled at Paladin, badgering him in an attempt to see if he can get a reaction out of the Lord Inquisitor.

Paladin paid no attention to Lord Sparrow, after seeing that Lord Sparrow wasn't moving towards him. Paladin turned his head to look all around the room, looking to see the situation of all the Inquisitors. Paladin first saw Noxious and Jingks, both of them were on the ground together only inches apart. Both of them were awake, and both of them were slowly recouping themselves. Paladin thought to himself as he watched the Inquisitors.

I hope they learned their lesson from getting beaten down by Lord Sparrow, they shouldn't be charing out on their own without a specific plan. Because of what they did, we're in this particular situation at the moment, we're in this pinch. A situation that won't be easy getting out of, unless if we have some particular Divine intervention from Odin like before. It shouldn't be coming to that however, we need to rely on ourselves for winning these battles.

Paladin sighed heavily, and he turned his head again to look to his right. Archer broke through the stone debris, and he stood up right next to the right shoulder of Paladin. Paladin then turned and he looked at his left side, on the ground next to him and away from the stone debris was Omega. Omega was on all fours while he was on the ground, his head looking down at the flooring that was made of stone bricks.

Omega must be in a bit of a shock at the current moment, unexpectedly both of his attacks against Lord Sparrow did absolutely nothing. Not only that, but my attempt to trap Lord Sparrow was easily countered.

Archer looked at Lord Sparrow with a menacing look in his eyes, and he started to think up strategies that could be used against Lord Sparrow.

Lord Sparrow kept Noxious away from him by using some Power of Icarus spell, some spell that would cast black winds that would keep Noxious away from him. While not at the same time, but in a similar timeframe, Lord Sparrow used all of his black snakes in a full on attack on Jingks. Realistically, only because of all those Black snakes attacking were they able to move Jingks around slightly and predict where he would be next, which allowed them to be able to wrap themselves around Jingks, despite his movement mostly being unpredictable to a regular person.

Lord Sparrow smirked when he saw Archer menacingly looking at him, and he waved at the Inquisitor.

"Ahhhh--well look at this! The Drunk Inquisitor is giving me a menacing look! How scary that is and look at how scared I am!" Lord Sparrow badgered Archer, like he did with Paladin he attempted to anger Archer to the point where he would make a dumb decision.

Paladin then turned to look at Archer.

"Lord Sparrow for sure is not a push over when compared to the others we've faced so far, besides the Great Burning Minotaur."

Archer nodded his head slightly up and down, agreeing with what Paladin said.

"Indeed, Lord Sparrow is no pushover and this fight won't be easy. Curiously, whatever he is using is giving him significant power."
