Someones messing with the plan 3

Soon, Tetra and Vesemir found the Elven teleportation gate.

"Its barred."

Sparks ignited as Tetra's finger touched the golden barrier around the gate.

"Should I blow it up?"

Vesemir said as he was ready to use Aard.

"I advice against it, but, if you want to blow it up, help yourself." Tetra said and moved farther away.

"Seen barriers like this, before, and they were strong, but not strong enough to withstand my Aard, and back in days, for barriers like this, people used to call me the barrier breaker."

Vesemir said as he walked in front of the barrier, though what he said might sound boastful, but all the same, it was true.

"Aard."

A shock wave got released.

But as soon as it touched the barrier.

It got reflected.

BOOM!

Getting hit by his own powerful Aard, Vesemir got thrown in the air before he crashed onto the ground, only to come to a stop after taking a few rolls.

Tetra's face was plain, but there was a glint of smug in her eyes.

"A barrier breaker, you say?" Tetra sneered.

She walked back to the barrier and observed, "Despite its simple appearance, a compound barrier like these is typically empowered with ancient Elven ruins."

"It would take months just to understand."

"But the same, it would be easy to solve if you find the key."

After she said, tetra walked towards a rock, which appears to undisturbed by Aard's shock wave.

It was strange.

Such a powerful shock wave didn't disturb the little stones on the huge rock?

"You should have warned me, witch."

Vesemir complained as he dusted off his clothes.

"I did." [Tetera]

"From you long talk, I guess you found the key?" [Vesemir]

The huge rock width was big, but its height was just enough to reach Tetra's stomach.

As Tetra observed the small stones, she said, "At Aretuza, we used magic to cast pleasant illusions around unpleasant foods."

"Made food tastier," tetra continued, "yet the aftertaste of the illusion?"

"Bitter."

"Chaos clear out hearts and minds. Let our Eyes see right and true. Lift the shroud that cloaks our mind."

Tetra moved her hands as she cast the spell.

Blue Light shined between her hands.

Before it bust out, clearing the illusion of small stones.

A locket appeared in the place of stones.

"Modest… at the illusion was flawless. If it wasn't for the circumstance, I wouldn't have noticed it."

Tetra tied the locket's chain around her neck and let the centre piece lie between her breasts!

The next second, Tetra's face filled with surprise, as she felt an increase in the amount of chaos she could manipulate.

It doubled!

She was twice powerful!

"A locket. I agree. It suits you well." Vesemir nodded his head.

Tetra rolled her eyes as she walked, before her finger moved toward the barrier.

*shatter*

The barrier broke into pieces before it vanished, with just her touch.

"It seems quite simple." [Vesemir]

Tetra ignored Vesemir's murmur, pointing towards the magic crystal embedded in the Elven gate.

Her finger sparkled a blue light, which shot towards the crystal.

*sharp noise*

The crystal glowed blue light, and a spatial vortex appeared in the Elven gate.

Tetra walked into the vortex, seeing it Vesemir complained, " *sigh* I hate teleportation."

But he followed next.

****

It was dark… before Tetra sparked a fire ball on her hand.

Vesemir pulled a troche, used Tetra's fire ball to light it.

Thus making Tetra look at him.

Vesemir just pointed towards his head.

As if saying, I am smart!

The surroundings came into sight.

It was a gigantic cave!

The next second, both of them were startled!

*Screeechhhhhh!*

Viz, who was enjoying the softness, got stunned.

It was the acquainted beast.

Kitsu's mutated basilisk! which he left alive.

Then Viz noticed a hooded figure! Hidden enough not to be noticed by Tetra and Vesemir.

"I've never seen such a species of basilisk." Tetra asked, "Another illusion?"

Vesemir pulled his silver sword. "We'll no doubt find out shortly."

The Beast rushed towards them.

Vesemir too rushed towards it, his hands were swift, as his sword slashed towards its wings!

*Clang!*

Sparks flew as the sword's blade touch the wing.

*Screeechhhhhh!*

The beast roared, don't know if it was in pain, but its skin was hard.

Only the light sword marking was visible on its wing.

The Basilisk swings its tail, forcing Vesemir to roll away.

*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*

Tetra shot arrows, pulling the beast's attention.

The Beast made a dash.

It was fast.

Fast enough to make tetra barely dodge it.

Tetra stumbled before she fell, only to find the beast's mouth very near to her as the beast roared!

*SCRRRR….*

Only to be interrupted in the middle by Vesemir, as a huge flame hit it.

*Boom!*

Forcing its head shoved away.

"I know. She has that effect on everyone." Vesemir said as fire continued to rush out of his hand, "But still, manners."

Tetra seems pissed.

The Beast flung its wing down, pushing itself to jump away, escaping the fire, before landing a bit away.

The cave was enormous, but not large enough for it to fly freely.

Vesemir took the advantage, using the high rock he jumped on the beast.

Bracing his sword for another slash.

*BAM!*

*groan*

Only to get hit by the beast's tail, crashing into the cave walls.

Tetra conjured a spear and hurled it towards the beast.

The spear was fast; the basilisk didn't even spot it before it plunged into its chest, making it groan in pain.

*Roar*

A green poisonous gas hurled from the basilisks mouth towards Tetra.

Tetra sidestepped because Vesemir propelled her using Aard.

Vesemir Rushed to the beast, pulling the spear out.

Making the beast groan in pain, with its mouth wide open.

With the chance present in front of him, Vesemir stabbed the spear into the beast's mouth.

*creature trilling*

*crunch*

The basilisk crushed the spear with its robust jaws. Before it shot a poisonous breath towards Vesemir.

*Cough*

The poisonous breath was highly toxic. Even a witcher like Vesemir suffocated, holding his neck before he fell down.

The basilisk walked toward Vesemir. Its steps were heavy, making loud noises as it walked.

Vesemir situation seems grim, but Tetra turned it otherwise.

Huge winds flew towards the Basilisk, making a dome around the beast as Tetra cast magic.

However, tetra cast the magic with ease.

A huge doom of Ice was formed, encasing the beast in it.

Vesemir punched his hand through the ice and cast Igni.

Viz, who was watching all this, felt speechless.

This beast was dumb!

Can't it escape, if it can't win?!

Unnoticed by everyone, the crystal of the locket blinked twice.

It was Viz casting two spells.

Heal and Somne giving the hint to run.

BOOM!

The dome blasted!

Vesemir, who thought the beast got roasted, was horrified to find the beast alright.

Even Tetra and the hooded figure had the same reaction.

The beast ran fast, leaving the people in the cave stunned.

Tetra looked at Vesemir, as if asking Vesemir if he showed mercy.

"Maybe it got terrified?" Vesemir said.

He didn't know how to explain what had just happened.
