Capítulo 66: THE AQRABUAMELU
THE AQRABUAMELU
"Have you heard that the Bully of Starri city completed all his missions?" a conjurer asked the others in their regular meeting.
"Are you sure? That is impossible", another conjurer asked.
"He enlisted a private militia and the Hunter's Guild to hunt the magical creatures required in the missions", the first conjurer replied to him.
"He is using his money again to complete the missions", another added.
"It is still quite difficult for those private militias and institutions to hunt so many magical creatures in such a short time", Conjurer Ivior said to them.
"We don't know how he did it, but he did. He is almost a conjurer now", Conjurer Iras said to them.
"Hell, I am not letting him come to our meeting", another conjurer said to them.
"He is not a conjurer yet, there is one more mission that he hasn't completed", Conjurer Iras told them.
"Which mission?" a conjurer asked.
"To hunt an Aqrabemelu, scorpion man", Conjurer Ivior said to them with a grin on his face.
"The Aqrabemelu is not a mission for the apprentice. How did such a mission get to him?" another conjurer asked.
"Someone probably put the mission there for the Bully to take", Conjurer Iras said to them as he looked at Conjurer Ivior.

"What is the Aqrabuamelu?" Cassandra asked us.
"The Aqrabuamelu is a race of legendary ranked humans with the body of a scorpion. They are active in the mountains of Aqra", Meera told us.
"Something is not right. This is not a mission for an apprentice conjurer", Ratatouille said to us.
"I was warned about this mission by Conjurer Iras. He asked me to forget about it since it wasn't a mission for apprentice conjurers. There will be no demerit for forgoing this mission", I told them.
"But you will be taking the mission, anyway, aren't you?" Rinna asked me.
"Yes, because I still need a little more to reach Conjurer ranking and because of what Meera told me", I told her.
"What did Meera say?" Rinna asked as she looked at Meera.
"The Aqrabuamelu are not as simple as they seem. They are a race of scorpion people who dug their tunnels into Mount Aqra, creating a city of tunnels inside. Legend told of a treasure inside Mount Aqra", Meera told us.
"Treasure? I vote to hunt those Agrabuamelu", Ratatouille told us.
"What kind of treasure do they have in Mount Aqra?" Cassandra asked Meera.
"It has some relation to the Dark Angel, that is all that I know of it", Meera told us.

"Are we preparing for the hunt in Mount Aqra?" Raven asked me.
"Yes, we do need to prepare but you are not going this time. This is too dangerous for you and your hunters", I told Raven.
"Alright, what do you need?" Raven asked me.
"I need to know everything about the Aqrabuamelu, its strengths and weaknesses", I told him.
"I've checked with our guild. Some people from the Temple of Solomon have dealt with the Aqrabuamelu before", Raven told me.
"Great, can we get those people to become our guide?" I asked Raven.
"I've already signed them up for the mission", he told me.
-----
We set out for Mount Aqra, bringing with us a small militia of thirty Dragon Tanks. The Agrabuamelu wasn't a wild creature that we could hunt in the wild. They were a race of intelligent people.
"Be careful now, we are in the territory of the Agrabuamelu", our scout from the Temple of Solomon, Finkley told us.
"Have you met with these scorpion men before?" Chash asked Finkley.
"We have and we are lucky to escape from them alive. They are extremely powerful. Their bodies are covered by armor and the stings on their tails are poisonous. The poison could turn people to stone", Finkley told us.
"The scorpion men can petrify?" Cassandra asked Finkley.
"Many of our men died to their stings. We have to be very careful about them", Finkley told us.
"What is there to worry about? Just stay inside the tank", Sara told us.
Our Dragon Tanks were made from the toughest steel that was magically enhanced. They were protected by a body that was almost indestructible.
"Our tanks armor is equivalent to Saturn tiered magic creatures", I told Finkley.
"That is a comfort, but the scorpion men are legendary ranked beings. We should not underestimate them", Finkley told us.
Suddenly, our tanks were attacked by something that struck us from under the ground, throwing our tanks over to our shock and surprise.
"Many of our tanks are overturned, how can we move now?" Chash asked us worriedly.
"Dragon Tanks into formation", Sara shouted out on her comms.
Luckily for us, our Dragon Tanks weren't ordinary wheel-based vehicles. Sara installed anti-gravity devices inside the tanks. The devices were salvaged from destroyed Illuminati alien shuttles that we destroyed in Pallantium.
Sara used the anti-gravity devices inside these upgraded Dragon Tanks that were the strongest armor that she built for us.
Our Dragon Tanks floated into the air before they gathered in a formation.
"Shields up", Sara shouted her command into her comms.
Suddenly, magical shields formed around our tanks, creating a formation of shield that protected our tanks in a magical sphere.
"Shields of Thornheart"
These magical shields were cast by the Arraye Conjurers inside our tanks. After Sara obtained the magic of the Shields of Thornheart, the unique magic of the Thornheart College in Kalydon Confederate, she incorporated that magic into a magic arraye inside our Dragon Tanks.
-----
From the earth's depths emerged an assembly of grotesque beings, their bodies an unsettling fusion of man and scorpion.
The upper torso bore a humanoid resemblance, while the lower half was a menacing scorpion tail. Clad in resilient organic armor, these scorpion men brandished tails forged from the sturdiest materials.
A lethal venom coursing through their stings promised swift petrification to any unfortunate soul struck.
With relentless determination, the scorpion men charged towards our formation, poised to unleash their venomous strikes.
Fortunately, our defense lay in the mystical shields conjured forth by our Dragon Tanks. Yet, the formidability of the scorpion's sting tested the limits of our magical defenses. The shields, though powerful, faced an imminent threat of erosion under the unyielding assault.
