Chapter 67: Earth Pearl (part two)

Nix waited until the Aquarion was in mid-stroke of his next attack on the Lamia before he attacked. He placed four strands on the surprised water creature, one around each arm and two for his neck.

[Fire Root]

[Flame Snare]

The Aquarion male was a melee, Nix stayed out of range until the man let out his last soundless scream. As fights go, he was weaker than most Aquarions. There were two chests by the throne, he stowed both of them in his inventory.

"Human..." The hissing words of the Lamia sent shivers down his spine, there was a complete absence of emotions in her words.

Nix moved a bit closer but was careful to stay out of harm's way. "What should I do with you?"

"Cut your own throat and then fall at my feet to be consumed." Her eyes glowed slightly when she spoke.

Nix felt an overwhelming desire to kill himself.

[Salamander's resistance, you have broken the Lamia's charm]

"Well, since you played it that way."
