Hirru

When Comes the Night The daylight seemed to fall into a crimson haze over the horizon, casting a faint glow upon the river that flowed through the Shirajishi-ryū Valley. A whirl and a whizz is heard before a plop comes from the water, a small splash before a red orb could be seen on the surface. It bobbed up and down for a long. After a minute or so, there didn't seem to be any life or care, as the little bobber fought against the current of the river it sat in. There would be much more waiting to be had, it seemed. The hunter sighed as he began to pull upon the line, which made

The hunter was quite surprised by the lurching and churning that the wall was doing, before Freyd mentioned something about not being fair, as the thing swiped at both Freyd and Ariel. Hirru had to duck down as it threw its rock hard arms out at them. The hunter had not faced a mimic before, and didn't really have much information on them. Though, that didn't stop Hirru from hurling himself down that arm, as his vision began to blink red again. He was on his way towards a critical point on the mimic, and the trolls blood in his system was reacting to it. Two sword slashes would ring out a

"Ha ha! Well, I guess you would be curious about that. I did make a fuss about Hidden's little stunt, but I did make quite a big one myself." The hunter figured with how that whole mess went, he would be getting questions here and there, and this was one of them. He was expecting more people to come to him about it, but it seemed that only a handful were really wanting answers. One didn't even care about that and just wanted him to 'play nice', whatever that meant. Although the motives were unclear for a couple, they all seemed to be roughly understanding, but that was only those tha

Getting up after getting down, the hunter was trying to get back into a serious mood. Freyd was able to get the prospectors health down quite a bit, while Ariel was able to take one down. The only issue Hirru saw was that she only attacked the one with more health. With an area of effect sword art, she would have easily been able to defeat the both of them. Was she a single target specialist? It made more sense with her weapon, but he never saw it until now. What a tactician he was.. Couldn't see the differences in his allies combat styles after so long. Shelob began to glow a dim

That was the difficult part of it. He had seen the other entrance, but he did not look down it. He only knew that there were quite a few of those yellow armbands coming from and going to that exit of the slums. If anything, it was going to be a problem to get there without being spotted. The both of them stood out far too much, even with the multitude of mercenaries and guards that roamed the streets, the two players were much better equipped and well off than some of the others around. Hirru would doubt that they could work around any of the nobility, especially from Crozeph's little stu

In a turn of events that didn't seem real, the hunter was faced with a conundrum. All of the parties were mostly together within the meeting, but the talks seemed to be going all over the place. Even after the meeting, there were too many variables that were not piling up correctly. Out of all of the parties, his had not a single supportive role. Nearly everyone, except Shield of course, was a damage dealing player, whom mostly used katanas. Hirru was taught a word some time ago about this, but was told to never utter it, as it was slang and slander to some ears. He had much to learn abo

The hunter whistled in surprise. He didn't know that the newest member to the front lines was a blacksmith. The look and feel of the shop reminded him of some friends that have long since retired from the front lines. Xion, Beoreson, and Mack, the three blacksmiths that started it all for the hunter. A smithy would be a sacred place for the hunter, even if he was just a merchant with appraising profession. He had a new mission, which required a little bit of preparation. It seemed that Firm Anima was there to help when four pieces of armor had come his way. Each holding a precious commo

"Hmm? This? It's a spyglass, though, I got it on a particularly fancy place. Instead of the long tube that other places had, this shop had this smaller one. I liked it, since I don't normally have huge pockets or time to rummage around to find a shrunken tube thing." The hunter chuckled a little at all that. Out of everything that he had said, it was the lack of pockets that got him. It was true that being battle ready was an equally required thing, but he barely ever used any of his items within it. Anything that needed used was used outside of combat. Maybe someday, he would nee

It had been some time since the hunter had last been upon his old wagon, while properly looking upon appraising some runic inscriptions. There were two of the items that he had recently found that he wanted to look at. Two trinkets that already had golden runic slots upon them. He had only ever seen these upon items with unique enhancements that had been found, but this looks like they are yet to be seen. The hunter mulled over looking into these before seemed to come to the same conclusion. If they were going to survive, then the hunter would have to think outside of the box. 4/8 ap

The hunter sighed in relief as his stats went back to the way they were supposed to for a time. It wasn't a really hard battle, even with Hirru's stats lowered, the boss did nothing to him. It was just the healing factor that really freaked the hunter out. It that thing could actually break into him, or cause their hate to fall out of touch with each other, they may have had an issue then. Though, the hunter was really glad to see that his newest hunting partner could go with the flow, especially with his choice in weaponry. Baldur would definitely be keen to look into this one's arts. L

Hirru was slightly surprised by the sudden inclusion of weird phenomenon appearing on all the floors. First of all was the appearance of the golden leaves that seemed to duplicate specific looted items. The hunter had found four demonic shards, from his venture with Freyd. It wasn't something that normally happens as the whisper had said. Frankly, the hunter would be glad to go around and hunt a bit more, but he was tired from working around each floor and talking to people about the current state of things in Aincrad. He was going to go to Baldur's and sleep in his room, but the intrigue

It seemed that Hirru wasn't the only one that seemed to have an issue with someone crashing a party, though this came from the one that Hirru didn't know much about. He was reminded that there was much more activity around the other players than he would ever know. He kept breathing slowly and deeply to alleviate any more of his anger that he wanted to subside. Suddenly, Zandra's bird squaked and it threw his concentration off. She was right, but they still didn't have everything together. He was getting calmer, but there was still much in his mind. All of it getting worse as Freyd a

"What do we have here? A bunch of thieves, ay? Eh? Well you can shove off! This is our treasure!" "Yeah, and we'll protect it from you lot. We won't let you have our treasure!" The two of them would call out to Ariel when they failed their first attempt at seizing a proper attack through, due to the terrain around herself and the prospectors. This would also be slightly difficult for the hunter too, as Shelob was still the size of a bastard sword, and wasn't great to use in confined spaces. Though that wouldn't stop the hunter from using a simple alternative. Hirru was still

Hirru was starting to learn the patterns that this giant tree being would take. First it would slam, then it would slam while healing itself. This was the only pattern he could really see, as this next attack would bring the roots out of the ground to stop the healing process. A foolish endeavor, as the hunter was faster to respond to its advances, and act accordingly. The last hit would go to Koga, but the hunter didn't mind. They were not fighting on the front yet, and there wasn't much need nor a care for the last hit loot from the floor bosses, as players could create their own boss w

"That is very true. There is quite a bit that I still need to wrap my head around, I guess." The hunter groaned as he felt the fatigue of overusing ones energy reserves as well as the constant strain to ones brain. What was it that Shield talked about? Everyone feeling fatigue from the exertion on their minds through the NerveGear? Hirru was still having trouble coping with that knowledge. A helmet that could control ones body in another world was still like a fairy tale to him, but it made far too much sense why all the players were the way they were, and none of the NPCs every felt

As stern as ever, which made the hunter that more eager to work through this. He preferred the old Mac that he could joke around with and perform funny combination attacks with, but the hunter understood that those days were gone. If that day were to ever come, it would be a long and rough journey that would test the hunter at every given point. He was willing to do all of that, because it was all his fault that it happened to begin with. It was his responsibility to take the burden now. While waiting for Mac to reach him, the hunter would have observed the towns people and merchants

Hirru could only smile while watching the insane antics of his partner, and could only wish that he too could perform with that resolve. If at all a fleeting thing, Hirru could admire when Freyd let loose a bit. There was much that the hunter still didn't know. In fact, there were far too little things that the Hirru knew about Freyd, than vice versa. The wanderer seemed to glide wherever he walked, without much care, but was sharp to details and ready to take action on the slightest impulse. One could tell that his guard was never down, but when it was, it was only for that slight detail

Hirru was quite astonished by the sudden turn of events. With all of the information and gossip floating around, the hunter had still not entered into any of the conversation, and yet it seemed like everyone had heard him out while creating the teams in his head! How? He looked upon his hands as he sat, only now noticing the tea and the sweets upon the little table in front of him. How long had they been there?, he wondered. He was starting to get anxious when Calrex pointed out what he was thinking, and then Freyd fronting an entire team through his guild. Hirru had completely forgotten

"As much as a field boss would probably be good to work around, this floor's boss would probably diminish our stats. Besides, I haven't faced this floor's field boss. Any info, Freyd?" The hunter would ask his fellow monster hunter about this <<The Watcher>>, or whatever it is called. It must be fairly difficult, if its on the tail end of the 3rd tier bosses. He had been on the tail end of the fifth floor field bosses status reduction. It wasn't so kind to Hirru, as the strength and accuracy needed to bypass the Land Shark's hide was something that he had not missed. He
