Dar' Talor, Follower of the Lunatic
Quickly pulling out her revolver, Iris headshot the few Shooter-class Phantoms who had been aiming at her in the sky. They were a ranged archetype who used their two special tail-like tentacles to shoot out white thorns of poison.
They weren't that powerful defense-wise, but get hit by one of those thorns and it was pretty much game over without a Healer Angelica here. Luckily, Iris was quite nimble with her wings and also a skilled sharpshooter, so these pests were more of an annoyance than anything.
Having dealt with them, she returned to scanning the chamber with her eyes. And then, her gaze landed on the gemstone within the staff being held by the Baron. Inside, just faintly, a symbol could be seen. It was the circling snake. She then looked at the rest of the Baron's body and saw other symbols over them — sword snake in the right eye, skewered fish in the left eye, 8 snake in the chest, and so on.
But the question was, how did all of that help?
