Rats + Some Crazy Gray Guys

The plague monks flail clinked as he stepped closer and closer to Lilith's position. Pushing [Stealth] to the utter limit, Lilith also cast a small-tier illusion spell to make the small area around her invisible.

The Plague Monk peered over the rock while looking directly at Lilith before turning away. Lilith let out a sigh of relief before the Plague Monk began to sniff the air. It slowly turned back around as its crazed eyes lit up with glee.

Raising its warpstone powered flail it swung a powerful blow causing Lilith to silently cry out in shock. The rock in front of her was melted and warped under the effect of the flail, leaving a small dead gecko in the middle of the small crater. Seeing its handiwork come to fruition, the Plague Monk reached down and grabbed the gecko before tossing it into its mouth and walking away.

'Thank the Gods. My heart did a few loop-di-loops there.' Lilith thought as she sighed in relief.

Turning her gaze towards the warped (A/N: Heh.. Get it?) crater Lilith cringed, 'Good thing I wasn't hit by that.. that would be lethal to my little self.'

As Lilith prepared to step out from behind her safety rock, a horde of rats stormed out from on the mine shafts. Lilith immediately turned around and returned to the safety of her rock.

The seemingly endless horde of rats began to scurry through the green portal to the unknown other side. The rat horde disappeared as a few taller figures appeared through the portals.

Their gray skin shined ominously in the pale green light radiating in the cave. They were separated in three different groups.

One was skinny with burn marks on their gray skin with an absolutely fanatical look on their horribly scarred face. They held a dagger in front of them, prepared to slash and heretic in their path. 'Fanatics' Lilith thought absentmindingly. There were about 10 in total.

The other had a iron helmet covering their head with a bare chest and was taller than the Fanatics. A two-handed axe was gripped in its large hands. A animals hide was strapped around their waist in order for minimal protection and decency.. not that they had any. 'Raiders.' Lilith thought once again.

The other was the same build and height of the Raider, only more armored. Instead of carrying a two-handed axe they carried a sword along with a shield. 'Bulwarks.'

Lilith continued to ponder about what her strategy should be until she heard a voice.

"Qwe let Khaos Akhamshy'y's Fuib Ghyran Ksy. Baah." A leading Raider said to the Plague Monk.

The Plague Monk nodded as it motioned towards the portal.

Lilith proceeded to sneak past a few groups of rats as she stealth fully dispatched the cannon fodder rats with no armor. She used a small amount of illusion magic and physical attributes. After doing so, there were only 2 groups of 5 infantry rats and the group of elites that were still inspecting the portal.

As she routed behind the first group of infantry rats she picked them all off swiftly. She did so by covering them all in a reflective ray of illusion magic to make them invisible to one another and swiftly cutting them down with her claws.

'Phew, only two more groups.. you can do this,' Lilith hyped herself up as she repeated the same course of action against the second infantry group. The only group left was the elite group of enemies that were still inspecting the portal.

As the group was talking in a language that Lilith didn't understand, one of the Bulwarks look behind them and saw all the dead rat infantry.

"Sho Baah! Yuizz!" The Bulwark roared as he pointed at the dead rats with his sword. The other chaos elites began to search for Lilith in a large group. The Plague Monk started to press and flip button and switches on the portal as it shut off temporarily.

Lilith sighed in a relief as she saw the portal close. She only had to deal with 2 chaos elites, 4 chaos infantry, and a plague monk. Which was already cutting it close, if not beyond, her limits. If she didn't kill of the rat infantry stealth-fully she would definitely be screwed.

Steeling herself, Lilith prepared to activate her ice magic as a ice war-hammer formed behind her. Panting slightly due to using to much mana in the -surprisingly costly- spell, Lilith waited for them to pass the rock she was hiding under. She also cast a low-tier illusion spell to make her previous spell invisible for a short time.

As a unarmored Raider passed the corner its skull shattered at the solid impact of the now visible ice war-hammer as the spell shattered. Crumpling to the ground, the Bulwark yelled as he bashed his shield against Lilith causing her to slam into a boulder.

Violently coughing from the lack of air, Lilith saw the Bulwark approaching as the infantry stood behind him.

Raising its sword the Bulwark screamed, "Yuizz Sur Leth Nurgle!"

Cutting down in an arc, Lilith reacted by tossing out a ball of warpstone from her inventory. Still winded, the warpstone melted through the Bulwark's shield as her side was slashed by the sword.

Letting out a sharp yelp of pain Lilith began to absorb nearby energy to rapidly refill her drained reserves. After a single second her reserves were full again as she sent a wave of ice spikes into the incoming infantry. Due to the lack of armor, the infantry fell after enduring a couple spikes coming from the onslaught.

Feeling a pain in her stomach due to rapidly refilling her reserves she gritted her teeth before walking over to the downed Bulwark. His shield and arm was completely melted due to the raw warpstone contact. He lied motionless on the ground but Lilith, for extra caution, shot a few ice spikes at him.

Walking past the dead Bulwark with a visible limp, Lilith saw the Plague Monk running in her direction. Frantically, Lilith dropped a warpstone from her inventory before incasing it in ice and throwing it at the rat before the ice melted.

Praying for the best, Lilith watched as the warpstone flew through the air. Only for it to get parried by the Plague Monk's equally powered warpstone flail. Lilith stiffened at her failed attempt to damage the rat elite.

She used the same short-term invisibility spell she used on her war-hammer on herself before retreating behind cover. The Plague Monk, not deterred in the slightest, began to sniff the air as it picked up the scent of her blood.

Seeing that she would most likely die if the Plague Monk got to close she materialized a ice spear before shooting it at the rat. The spear drilled into its left shoulder causing it screech in agony. Lilith made a few more ice spears before repeating the process.

The Plague Monk stood still standing as 3 ice spears were imbedded in its chest. Lilith cautiously walked over to see if it was still alive. As she neared it she was it twitch and she heard it squeak slightly.

Frantically trying to back away she barely dodged a last ditch effort to hit her with the flail as the Plague Monk collapsed onto the ground.

Lilith, although worse for wear, let out a foxish grin at the victory. 'Thank the Gods. I thought I was a goner there for a minute.' Lilith thought to herself. 'Too bad I'm not done yet.. still got to destroy that portal. I would rather not have another universe invade this one while I'm here.'

Through her scattered memories, she definitely knew that the universe she was in and the creatures just fought were from another universe. Slowly staggering over to the portal she began to freeze the metal at the bottom. Once it was frozen enough she tapped it with her paw causing it to collapse in on itself.

'Should I have destroyed the other side's portal as well? ...A question for another day.' Lilith thought as she walked over to a nearby hay stack and collapsed.

(A/N: This chapter was kinda short due to me being -severely- behind in Geometry and requiring to focus on it more. Afterwords however I will begin to write more, and longer, chapters.
