Chapter 68 - Adios, Leoric (Diablo III)

Shang later left the cellar with Johanna, Sonya and Eucliwood while Kharazim and Valla stays behind to look after Leah and bring her back to New Tristram once she is done.

Shang knows Kharazim’s reason for staying. As for Valla’s reason for staying, she says that since this is a witch’s cellar, there are some items here that might be useful to her.

Demon hunters remind Shang of Claymores which are humans that have flesh and blood of human-eating Yoma embedded inside them. Once the process is completed, their hair changes to a different color and their normal eyes change to silver. Shang wonders if it is the same reason that how demon hunters obtained their black hair and glowing eyes. Having coming to different assumptions, Shang decides to leave it at there.

Upon reaching the cathedral, Shang and the groups realizes they are unable to enter inner levels as there is a huge hole blocking their way. The only way to enter them is to drop down to nearby edges where they are safe for landing.

Sonya uses her Leap to jump from edge to edge while Johanna summons her Steed Charge to ride down. When offered a ride by Johanna, Eucliwood shakes her head and covers herself in blood. In a crimson form, she moves from edge to edge very quickly. Shang follows her and jumps down using his martial arts. Johanna was startled by Eucliwood’s magic for a while but managed to keep up with Shang and the others.

The inner levels of the cathedrals is full of activity with the dead walking around. Shang and Eucliwood have no problem sneaking around till they find the Leoric Passage where Cain is located but weight of Sonya and noise of Johanna’s armor would attract unwanted attention.

Leaving Sonya and Johanna to have fun with the dead, Eucliwood and Shang go on their separate ways to look for Cain’s tracks. It is pretty hard to find tracks of an old man with his walking stick as the dead either crawls around or drags their weapons from behind, disfiguring the tracks. Knowing that Cain is the one of the Horadrim, Shang looks around for the triangular sigils of the Horadrim which Cain might put as a mark that a member of Horadrim was here.

Following the sigils that Cain left behind, Shang reaches Leoric Passage where he sees the scene between Leoric and Cain from the top of the stairway.

Before Leoric could summon his skeletal guards, Shang jumps beside Cain and grabs him by the shoulder.

Leoric and Cain were startled by the appearance of Shang

Cain: What in the name of Horadrim are you?

Shang: Your savior.

Shang then turns to wraith form of Leoric and says.

Shang: Adios, Leoric!

Leaving those words behind, Shang jumps to the top of the stairway with Cain and disappears from the sight of Leoric.

A loud voice roar out in anger as Shang moves along with Cain.

Leoric: GUARDS! FIND THEM! I WANT THEIR SKULLS!!

Shang: Looks like we make him angry.

Shang says as he hears the roar.

Cain: Oh, I thought I am doomed to die there.

Cain says as he takes a breather.

Shang: Not today, old man, not today.
