In the bloodfields, the Horns win against the Adult Creler.

Synopsis[edit | edit source]

Note: This chapter's events continue from the previous chapter.

In the bloodfields, the Adult Creler taunts Yvlon and the other adventurers who run towards the portal door to the inn. Montressa tries to get Erin to open the portal door by using a [Message] spell, but fails as there is no one from the Mage's Guild near the Inn. A few adventurers decide to stay back to hold the line, like the Horns of Hammerad, Boltspitters, Thunder’s Solace and Ensoldier Shields. Some adventurers stay back even though their team doesn't - like Captain Kam from the Whistling Bows. The Wistram team also stays back - Isceil, Bezale, Palt, Ulinde, Montressa. They are barely able to hold back the crelers back.

But the door does not open and the Adult Creler starts attacking, breaking through their lines. In a flash, it descends on to Isceil and rips him to pieces. Yvlon charges the creler, but it cuts her arm despite the other adventurers trying to cover her. Az'kerash, looking through Ijvani's eyes, tells her the adventurers and Wistram mages will flee soon and commands her to help Pisces retreat.

In the bloodfields, Montressa's barriers fail once due to her fear of the bone horrors around her. Pisces confronts Montressa to bring her back from her fear-haze. During this, the other adventurers and Wistram mages are badly damaged. While Palt and Bezale try to tear off crelers from Ulinde, the adventurers get a brief respite as they notice a colony of Face-Eater Moths and everything else in the Bloodfields attacking the crelers. The Adult Creler attacks and kills Captain Kam. Tommie jumps into the Adult Creler's mouth to attack it, but dies to the baby crelers that were hiding inside it.

As the door opens, the adventurers closest to the door rush towards it. Palt runs away with Bezale and Ulinde, while Montressa stays back. The crelers manage to get to the inn before some of the adventurers, and swarm inside. A juvenile creler manages to kill Crossbow Stan. Pisces takes Montressa to the top of a hill and asks her to hide. He drinks a lot of mana potions and creates a Bone Behemoth, which charges the Adult Creler.

The adventurers, dead from exhaustion, prepare to make a final stand. Pisces fuses Yvlon's bones at the joints, and pours a healing potion on top, which is just enough to let her perform some attacks. Yvlon charges the Adult Creler, but the enchantment in her sword breaks, making it much heavier. The Adult Creler attacks on Yvlon, but fails to harm her as Montressa applies her barrier. Yvlon applies a scroll of [Lion’s Strength] and charges the Adult Creler again, as the barrier breaks.

Ceria and Pisces realize that they can upgrade the Bone Behemoth by linking their magic. A Frostmarrow Behemoth rises and charges the Adult Creler and manages to hold it in place, but isn't able to damage it. Meanwhile, Yvlon keeps on pummeling the Adult Creler at the same spot, and manages to break the Creler's shell. The Adult Creler, panicking now, manages to break free from the Frostmarrow Behemoth. Yvlon is able to hold on to it and burrow into its body, but the creler finally manages to throw her out. Ksmvr, manages to jump into the hole and uses Yvlon's sword to cut the Creler's pulsating brain.

From the inn, Grimalkin, Jelaqua and a few other adventurers and Pallass' soldiers charge in to kill the adult. They soon realize that the adult is almost dead - it's body is just a mindless husk and is separate from the pulsating brain. They realize that the adventurers must have killed it and rush to find the survivors. While reaching for an antidote Grimalkin says out loud that he found the team that killed the creler - the Horns of Hammerad.

The chapter ends, with Yvlon getting a few skills and level ups, and her arms back. They are metal now. The Watch and the Soldiers cheer the Horns of Hammerad, while they have a reunion. Az'kerash, watching from afar, bows to them.
