After Surge and Roost Wayne came back with the 3rd relic, it was 3:0 for the heroes.

Brock: Score dudes! We're winning the game!
Mortis: Now it's our turn, where's the new relic Lindworm?

Lindworm turned to Jozef who had a tablet and he pressed a button and scanned for another relic.

A red button appeared on Yukon.

Jozef: There's a relic named Static Shock, it's the form of a shell that releases static electricty that imobilizes enemies.
Lindworm: A surely formidable relic, I want you to retrieve.
Crow: Relax, it's the 3 of us what could go wrong?
Max: Be careful though, the Yukon is a dangerous place and I've been there once.

Brock crossed his arms.

Brock: Will do wish us luck.

She nodded and Lindworm opened a portal for Mortis, Brock and Crow and they entered it as it closed down.

Lindworm: After the static shock what else is left to retrieve?
Jozef: I found another relic and it's called the Helmet of Fury and it's underwater in a labyrinth.
Surge: Labyrinth?
Lindworm: I see, once they return I and Max shall go for the Helmet of Fury.

Max was surprised of Lindworm's decision.

Max: Wait you wanna go with me to find the relic?
Lindworm: I could do it myself but I don't want to venture alone underwater.
Max: Alright then, I'll go with you.

Lindworm nodded.

"Yukon"

The portal opened again and the trio got out and Crow and Brock already felt the weather and began shaking.

Crow: How c-cold is th-this place?

Brock pulled out his phone and saw that the temptarure was 35°C.

Brock: 35°C...

Crow looked at Mortis who wasn't affected by the cold.

Crow: How come y-you aren't feeling the cold?
Mortis: I'm a vampire, I think that justifies it enough my friend. Come on we haven't got much time, one of Nahane's minions could be here as well.

He began walking the snowy path as the 2 began following the vampire.

Mortis pulled out a scanner and began searching for the relic.

Mortis: The relic is far away, our venturing into the wild is going to be a while.
Brock: H-how long are we talking?

Mortis looked at the sky and examined it.

Mortis: It's almost nighttime, our travelling will be at least 5 hours due to the harsh weather condition and snow that surrounds us.
Crow: 5 FUCKING HOURS?!

His voice echoed throughout the woods.

Mortis: Be quiet, you might attract unwanted attention.

Crow was silent.

Mortis: Look it's not my fault that decided to join me our here to find a relic.
Brock: He has a point but we have to deal with it somehow. What's worse is that we don't have any shelter in case anyone of us falls asleep since it's nighttime.

They continued to search for the relic, but they didn't notice that from a far distance a pair of binoculars eyed them.

They belonged to Dielab, he had one knee down on the ground and his scythe and crossbow on his back.

Dielab: Time for me to hit 3 birds with 1 stone.

He then picked up his crossbow and aimed it at Crow's backside.

Dielab cackle evily as he pressed the trigger and his bow swiftly flew at Crow.

Mortis sensed it and caught the arrow behind Crow.

Mortis: I sense someone is here to kill us.
Crow: Woah, nice save there.
Mortis: The only person I see to fire an arrow is Dielab.
Brock: Who was he again?
Mortis: The bounty hunter of the Ordo Drakkonis, Drakor's replacement.
Brock: Ah, well we better keep an eye out for him.

They continued walking as Dielab saw them leaving and he wasn't happy about it.

Dielab: That vampire is a huge problem, he can sense every attack I throw at him and those two. However I ain't the guy to give up so easily.

He then got up and began stalking them.

"Hours later"

As the heroes were walk around the forest, the further they venture the more colder and bigger the snow becomes.

The snow is so high that it covers they're knees.

Crow could feel his boots get wet from the snow that melts on the outside.

Crow's mind: Fuck! This snow is killing my feet. Wait I'm a bird I can fly.

Crow was about to fly but suddenly a huge wind blew right they're direction and Crow was about to be taken by the wind but Brock caught him and pulled him down.

Crow: Great a wind is just whay we need.
Mortis: This is why you shouldn't fly, but there's also another reason.
Crow: And what's that?

Then suddenly a snow began raining slowly.

Brock: A snowstorm?

Then suddenly a blizzard began blowing and they're vision was getting blurry.

Crow: Me and my big mouth...

The three were blinded.

Brock and Crow held they hands to block they're eyes from the blizzard.

Mortis was the only one able to see through the blizzard like it was nothing.

Then suddenly a dagger was thrown at them but Mortis ducked and then pulled out his sword and threw a medium sandstorm at the direction where the dagger came from.

Dielab came out from his hidding place.

Crow: What was that?
Mortis: Dielab tried to attack us.
Brock: Hold on what?

Dielab pulled out his scythe and swinged it at Mortis who blocked it with his sword and pushed the hunter back.

Dielab then impacted the ground with his scythe and the earth shook and Brock was almost gonna fall if it wasn't for Crow who caught him.

Crow then blindly threw some daggers hoping to hit Dielab but instead they hit a tree.

Dielab: You ain't got an eagle's eyes bird.

He then spinned his scythe and then blocked an attack from Mortis' sword.

Mortis: Did Nahane send you to retrieve the Static Shock?
Dielab: Indeed and I found you instead.

He backed off and spinned his scythe even more.

Dielab: You would make a great trophy for me vampire, after all you are an elusive creature.
Mortis: Sorry, but I'm a creature of the night not some accessory holder.

Dielab tried to attack Mortis but Brock fired some rockets and one hit Dielab and sent him crashing to a rock.

Dielab got up and saw Mortis dashing towards him.

Dielab picked up some snow and threw it at the vampire and hit his face.

Mortis: My eyes!

He was then tripped by Dielab and he fell on the ground face first.

Dielab chuckled as he prepared his scythe.

Dielab: Adios Dracula wannabe.

He was gonna chop Mortis' head off but Brock tackled Dielab away and Mortis recovered.

The vampire saw Brock who was punching Dielab, but the hunter managed to overpower the hero and tossed him across the snowfield.

Crow swooped and threw daggers at Dielab who blocked some of the knives from hitting him with his bracelets.

Dielab then pulled out his crossbow and fired some arrows at Crow.

The human/bird hybrid dodged them all.

Mortis did a spin dash with his sword and it hit Dielab's head and he didn't feel a thing.

Dielab them headbutted Mortis and tried to grab the vampire but he caught his hand like it was nothing.

Mortis: Manus ignis...

Suddenly Mortis' left hand was becoming hot red and it burned Dielab's hand, causing the hunter to yell in pain.

Dielab then tried to punch Mortis but he ducked and flipped the hunter and Mortis did a double stomp to the enemy.

Dielab's breath was squeezed out.

He then grabbed one of his feet and yeeted Mortis across the snowfield.

Brock grabbed his rocket launcher and fired more rockets at Dielab.

He then rollef over to dodge the shots.

Brock: Damn, he's got some skills.

Crow fired some daggers at Dielab but he too dodged them and then got up and jumped at Crow and threw a punch to the hero.

Brock: Crow!

Dielab pulled out a rope and launched it at Brock that caught him instantly and began pulling the hero.

Mortis saw this.

Brock: Mortis! Help!

Mortis then thought of something.

Mortis: Cryogenic quis sustinebit.

Suddenly the rope was freezing and Dielab noticed it and he broke the icy rope and Brock was free.

Dielab: Come here!

He tried to grab Brock but he retaliated with a kick to his hands.

Crow got up and saw yellowish shell.

Crow: Look! There's the Static Shock!

He pointed at the shell that was covered in snow.

Dielab and Mortis then ran after it.

Dielab pulled out some knives from his sleeves and pockets.

Mortis: Why do you have so many knives?!
Dielab: For hunting and killing.

He threw them at Mortis.

Mortis: Infractum corpus.

Mortis' body was invincible thanks to the spell.

Dielab growled as he then tried to punch Mortis but the vampire ducked and tripped the hunter and then landed a punch to his throat and Dielab was stuggling to breath.

Mortis went to pick up the Static Shock.

Mortis: It's over Dielab, we won.

Dielab got up and he cackled.

Dielab: You think it's over?

He then threw some daggers at Brock and Crow and they took the hits to they're shoulders and they yelled in pain.

Brock: Shit!
Crow: Fuck!
Mortis: Guys!

Dielab ran to Mortis and he did a jumping knee strike to the vampire's face.

Mortis fell on his back as he dropped the Static Shock.

Dielab chuckled as he picked up the relic.

Dielab: Vishamah, I got the relic.
Vishamah: Good, I am opening a portal.

A portal opened for Dielab.

Crow: He's getting away!
Brock: Leave him, we're injured!

Dielab looked back at the injured heroes and then entered inside the portal as it closed down.

Crow and Brock ran to Mortis.

Crow: Mortis you alright?

Mortis shook his head and slowly got up.

Mortis: Yeah I'm fine.
Brock: Dielab got away with the relic.
Mortis: Let him go, we did our best effort but he effectively won.
Crow: Yeah, hopefully Lindworm doesn't give us a hard time.

"At the Ordo Drakkonis' side"

Nahane held the Static Shock relic and examined it.

Nahane: Ah the Static Shock, an interesting yet effective relic. Craftef by the finest dragon blacksmiths for centuries.

She turned around and eyed Dielab.

Nahane: I'm impressed with your work Dielab, well done.
Dielab: The pleasure is all mine mistress.

Nahane then walked up to the rest of the Drakkonis that were standing in a straight line.

Nahane: How is it possible that all of you failed but Dielab hasn't, it's because you weren't focused on the mission. You were focused on something else.

She looked at Dratis.

Nahane: You were worried that hero wasn't too hurt were you?
Dratis: No mistress Nahane.

Nahane then turned to Draghar and Zeighar.

Nahane: You 2 were too stupid that you forgot about the mission.
Zeighar: We promise it won't happen again.
Draghar: Yeah!

She then looked at Execumancer who rolled his yellow eye.

Nahane: Is something wrong Execumancer?
Execumancer: Yeah and it's you staying here. For once you could be useful and try to search for a relic on your own instead of relying on idiots like those 3 to find you the relics.
Nahane: Says the guy that is focused on torturing one of Lindworm's lackeys.
Execumancer: Hey, Mani Pulate is between me and that low life son of a bitch. He did something to me and it's my job for payback.
Nahane: And how many relics did you find rather from the amount of times you tried to kill him.

Execumancer was pissed, he was going to attack Nahane but Vishamah stopped him.

Vishamah: Now is not the time to argue, we all have a mission and that is to win this war against Lindworm.
Nahane: You heard Vishamah, I want Lindworm dead and you and the others will put your bodies on the line for it. Understood?
Execumancer: As you wish... *Mumbles* Dragon whore...

Vishamah then turned to Nahane.

Vishamah: I found out that a relic is inside an underwater labyrinth located on the Atlantic Ocean. I volunteer to go and find it.
Nahane: Aprooved, you may proceed.

He turned around and then stopped.

Vishamah: Execumancer, I need you to come with me. I am in need of protection in case something happens.

Execumancer sighed

Execumancer: Fine! Anything to get out of here!

He approached Vishamah as the two left the throne room.

OK guys, this was chapter 14.

Peace out!
