Chapter 64: Keriax
*outside the stone circle*

Akki: ...

Jerrica: ....

Dayn: .......!?! .. .. ...... ... .. . !!!!

*The most serious conversation... ever*

Dayn: TREEMILK!

Akki: SHUT UP! *knocks Dayn out with the staff*

*back to Travis and Dutchess, locked in battle with one very pissed of dragon*

Travis: *Teleports out of the way of a corruption bolt and appears behind Keriax* Gotcha. *jumps in the air and stabs the rune covered trident down at Keriax*

Keriax: *moves out of the way with insane speed*

Travis: Huh? *is hit from behind by Keriax and sent flying*

Dutchess: O_O Woah.

Travis: *crashes into the wall* Ugh... he's fast. *takes out Sun's Messenger and dragon slaying ammo* Let's end this now. I'm a very busy wizard. *fires several arrows at Keriax*

Keriax: *breaths fire at the arrows, turning them to ash*

Travis: Hell... *takes out True Aim* burn this. *fires it at Keriax*

Keriax: *dodges and hits Travis from behind again.*

Travis: *slams into the wall* Ow... *stands up*

*Two dwarven chaos knights and two annihilators appear out of nowhere*

Dutchess: God damn, we're getting our asses kicked! *valiantly trying to bite at Keriax's ankles when not at risk of being squished*

DCK 1: *looks at Travis and Dutchess* wHaT dId We MiSs? MoRe AdVeNtUrErS aFtEr ThE cRoWn?

DCK 2: yOu ShOuLd HaVe CaLlEd Us, KeRiAx...

Keriax: WhY bOtHeR? tHeY'rE wEaKlInGs.

Annihilator 1: cAn We KiLl ThE dOg? :D

Keriax: gO fOr iT...

DCK 2: hErE pUpPy!

Dutchess: O_O *wimper*

DCKs 1 & 2 and Annhilators 1 & 2: *Begin surrounding Dutchess.*

Travis: *teleports in beside Dutchess*

DCK 2: WhAt ThE He- *punched in the face by Travis*

Travis: *elbows Annhilator 1 in the face, and immediately ninja kicks Annhilator 2 in the head, followed by punching DCK 1 in the throat* It's getting too dangerous for you here. If I'm not out in two hours, tell the others to assume I'm dead and to go on without me. *touches Dutchess on the head*

Dutchess: Wha- *teleported away*

DCK 2: *looks at DCK 1* He PuNcHeD jImMy In ThE tHrOaT!

Jimmy: *cough cough cough* bit- *cough* -ch. *cough*

DCK 2: YOu'Ll PaY fOr... ThAt? *looks at the spot where Travis was right before True Aim pierces his heart.*

Jimmy: NoOoO- *impaled with the Rune Covered Trident*

Travis: *zaps a blessed wand of fireballs several times*

Annihilators: Oh Sh- *burnt to ashes*

Travis: Four down, one to *teleports out of the way of Keriax's attack* go

Keriax: Hah! Best meal I'll have in quite a while.

Travis: You can talk normally?!

Keriax: Oh shit... uh... It WiLL bE A PlEAsuRe to ShRED yOu iN mElEE.

Travis: WHY DOES EVERYBODY SAY THAT!?

Keriax: YoU WiLl DiE MorTAL! *breathes a simoultaneously cold, hot, acidic, and electrified bolt at Travis*

Travis: OH CRIPES! *hits the deck*

Keriax: What?! That was the fastest attack I had!!

Travis: Not fast ENOUGH! *leaps to his feet and fires a cold and fire bolt at Keriax*

Keriax: WHAT?!! *shields self with a massive wing, deflecting it* Are you some kind of sick clown?!

Travis: No no no... not just a sick clown... a sick MIME! *fires an acidic and electrified bolt at Keriax's feet*

Keriax: AGH! *leaps into the air and teleports forward, swiping at Travis*

Travis: Oh shi- *knocked into the wall... again* X_X

Keriax: Idiot.

Travis: I thought you COULDN'T talk normally?

Keriax: DAMMIT, IT WON'T MATTER AFTER I KILL YOU!

Travis: Shut up *gets up slowly* you're not gon- *tail swiped into the... ceiling*

Keriax: Don't you get it yet?! No Mortal will ever defeat me.

Travis: *casts Feather Fall on himself as he slowly drifts to the ground* First time... for everything! *throws a glowing crystal knife from somewhere in his robes at Keriax*

Keriax: OOF! *hit, blood pools on the ground* Damn you! ... but thankfully I have TWO livers... and can regenerate rapidly :D

Travis: Damn it. Wait, couldn't you have dodged it?

Keriax: It's funnier if I let you land a few blows.

Travis: Prick.

Keriax: And proud of it! *breathes a fire/ice/electric/acid bolt at Travis*

Travis: Shi- *spins on one foot, and succeeds in inadverdently kicking his foot into the blast* AUGHHH! *falls over*

Keriax: Face it, I'm faster than you could ever be!

Travis: You remind me of that asshole MaLaKai... except you're... faster... and stronger... and... bigger...

Keriax: E-yup.

Travis: I bet you'll still OPEN LIKE A LAUNDRY BAG, THOUGH! *casts Light at +20 effectivity*

Keriax: MY EYES! THEY BLEED!

Travis: HAHA!

Keriax: Just kidding.

Travis: !@!$! *slammed into the ground*

*back outside*

Dayn: CHEERIOS!

Dutchess: SHUT UP! I'M TRYING TO DELIVER WHAT MIGHT BE TRAVIS' LAST MESSAGE!

Jerrica: Yeah! *hits Dayn in the head with a bowling ball*

Dayn: Sorry. X_x

Jerrica: Wait a sec... where's Akki?

*somewhere away from the others*

Akki: *Eyes glowing purple* So, Keriax is so powerful, that it's impossible to see into the stone circle?

Andor: That is correct.

Akki: But I wanna watch Travis get beaten and killed and... stuff.

Andor: So do we. However, I can tell you that Keriax's killing style is pretty gruesome.

Akki: Dammit, now I wan- Wait, hold on... damn, the ninja doctor whatever the hell she is is coming. I gotta go. Bye, Andy ^_~. *touches the crystal ball turning it into dust as eyes return to green*

Jerrica: What are you doing out here all alone?

Akki: Nothing. I just wanted to be alone for a bit.

Jerrica: Well, let us know next time, we might not be able to find you if something happens. Let's head back now. You never know what could be lurking around here.

Akki: Alright. I'll be alone with my thoughts when we're someplace safer.

*back inside*

Keriax: *flaps wings, sending Travis flying* You don't know when to die, do you?

Travis: *Now heavily bruised and bleeding, stands up and casts acid bolt at Keriax* Nope.

Keriax: *dodges the acid bolt* I'm getting bored with you. *picks Travis up and squeezes him tightly* You were fun. *throws Travis to the ground* Much more fun than the previous adventurer who attempted to claim the crown, but like all games this one must end too. *raises a massive foot above Travis* Goodbye... mortal.
