>>5900503You unhook the recently acquired Elixir from your belt, applying it to your wounds just as the Viskam fire.
>Blair: 71/71 HPWhile you manage to succeed in healing yourself, it leaves you with no space to avoid the first Viskam’s attack. Your pain alleviates just in time to for you to be engulfed in a beam of light that threatens to incinerate you right down to your very core. You scream aloud, doing your best to remain on your feet and tank through the ancient Agarthan weapon, which scorches both you and your armor and leaves you standing in the middle of a newly formed crater.
>Blair: 51/71 HPNot wanting to go through that again, you take greater care to avoid the remaining three beams. You jump out of the way of the second, which kicks up a cloud of stone and dust. The third beam sails directly over your head, slamming into a wall and creating a hole that sends several rocks and Agarthium to shower throughout the cavern. You run forward as the fourth beam chases you, taking great care to step to the side at the last second. The beam continues onward, until it collides directly with Jessa. The assassin did not see her end come, so focused was she on patting out the flames you’d struck her with. The Viskam incinerates her, leaving no trace left standing of the maid.
>Jessa: 0/65 HPJess fares no better. While she manages to avoid the barrage of Viskam, she makes the mistake of having taken her eyes off Anemone, who once more reappears from the shadows. With a slash of her Crescent Scythe, the final maid is bisected at the waist.
>Jess: 0/65 HP“I-Impossible!” Hoff stammers, trembling. “How is it that you still stand?! What drives you to such lengths!” The Agarthan begins fiddling with the mechanism on the table once more, hurriedly trying to get the Viskam to fire again. But by now you’ve learned that the machines don’t work quite that quickly. Before he can get the weapons up and running once more, you and Anemone fall upon him on each side. Slashing at the minister with her scythe, Hoff screams as he falls to the ground wounded.
“M-mercy!” Hoff begs, putting his hands up. “Please, Blair! You’ve won! Don’t kill me!”
>“If you want to beg for your life, then call off Wedge!” You threaten, placing Gungnir at the captured man’s throat. “This battle does not need to happen!” “Y-yes! Of course! Let me talk to him! Wedge is only following the orders given to him by the Count, who has placed me in charge. If I tell him to stand down, he’ll surely listen to me! I’ll help you!”
“Do you actually trust this filth?” Anemone barks. “Kill him!”
“Please, Blair.” Hoff whimpers. “I-I helped raise you. I truly did care for you. I swear it!”
