Transferring Rare Mochi - LD II to @ChaseR and @Shay

The paladin took a step back, readying herself for the giants attack. Her breathing was calm, her mind was focused and her thoughts were crystal clear. Uzeke groaned in pain and stomped around as 25% of his health was deducted in an instant. Crow and Baldur's damage combined had effectively chunked one third of the HP total in just a single set of attacks. Needless to say, the giant was less than pleased with it. 

The light luminescence coating her armor soon formed in a glow around her gauntlet. It was time to unleash a devastating attack. The wooden club was still being lifted from her form as she charged into an attack. Her fist rammed into the giant's stomach with such force that beat out Crozeph's damage. Ugzeke grunted as he landed on his behind.

"Take a seat why don't ya." Yuki said with a bit of cheek, sizzling smoke emanating off her gauntlet.

Yuki stood in the front as usual, keeping sure that the enemies don't attempt to sneak around her and hit her allies. Even if they were frozen, you never know what the Cardinal could throw at you to take you off guard. Yuki wasn't willing to test it whatsoever.

Her blade lit up it's usual pink color, glistening with extra energy still from her earlier missed strike that had now stacked up to give the paladin more damage. She slashed the furthest most one, seeing as how it had less health, maybe she could make a decent attack and finish it off there. If not, it would definitely be killable by Night when she came around to hitting it.

The paladin returned to her position casually. As long as she kept the attacks on her enemies, they would continue to focus her, banging their heads against a steel wall made of porcupines.

Yuki sighed in relief as the two of them entered her- or, actually is was more like their home at this point. Crozeph has spent more time here than at Baldur's estate now. He could see why he liked it there, not to mention those two being really good friends. She was glad that he liked being with her, but she was a little upset that she might pull him away from others.

"I'll make you stew. Make sure you stay awake long enough to eat it, it'll take a little longer than a steak, after all." Yuki said donning her kimono and heading into the kitchen to get started. "I appreciate the offer of help Crowy, but I really do enjoy cooking. My mom taught me so much about it and its the only past time I have besides tanking right now."

A ping of her messages sounded just as she dropped the meat cuts into the stew. She checked to see that was Night, just to check and see when the food is ready. She'll let her know when it's almost done that way she has time to get here before it sits for too long.

The duo left the Banshee's hovel, Yuki could see that Night wanted to be alone, so she didn't let Crozeph know that she had used her stealth just now to get away from the two of them. She sighed. "I think Night be getting ready for the next boss. You and me were obviously doing fine with the boss, so she had time to go and get her buffs ready."

Yuki sighed a little nervously, looking upon the eerie complex of the cavern walls dotted with glowing blue mushrooms and ores that blacksmiths likely could be using to make some really nice gear. "I mean, it's not my first choice for a house, but floor 22 felt like home the moment that I walked off the teleporter in Coral for the first time. I cannot argue with your logic for wanting to live here. Seems like it could be a nice place to lay low and just meditate."

[Thread Exit]

New enemies enter the fray just as the other two explode. Great more phasing damage. Yuki was actually impressed with how her body had moved to negate that damage. She nearly sliced the hand off that bat when it had reached in to claw her.

Almost as soon as it decided to make contact with her, it dropped dead from her prickling thorns. Yuki grinned in satisfaction. Even when enemies phased her, she still found a way to keep her HP above 90%. Tier three was such a welcoming place for fresh levels 50s, discovering just how strong you can truly be.

No time to rest, however. New targets on the battle field meant that she had to get in and take the hate before they attacked one of her allies. Her holy blade lit a bring pink glow and ravished everything in her line of sight. Bleed was now active.

Once they had reached the teleporter, Yuki stopped before Night left and pulled an item out of her inventory. A blue card that was meant as key to her home.

"Night wait." The girl said as she took a marker out of her inventory and started to scribble on the back. It had Night's name written in such clean penmanship, you could mistake the cook for a doctor. A doodle of a crescent moon dotted the 'i' of the name. When she was done, she offered it over to Night. "The doors to my estate are almost always locked. Use this to gain access to it. Please don't give it to anyone else, and don't lose it. Since my home is outside the safe zone, I need to make sure I don't get attacked while I'm sleeping."

Yuki then waved and yelled at the teleporter, with crows hand in hers. "Floor 22: Coral!" With a flash of light, the couple was gone.

While she could have taken a swing at the Banshee with her shield bash, she felt like that would be too much overkill and would only somehow end up making her miss. She would stick with the basic sword art and end her here if she could do enough damage. The pink blade mixed with the holy resonance of her blade, making the blade look ever so divine.

"This is where you meet your holy end, Banshee!" Yuki says, pumped from having actually killed something earlier. A twisted benevolent energy unleashed from the paladin's sword, slicing the Banshee into two pieces. It paused momentarily from the damage and slowly grew in brightness, soon to the point where it was impossible to look at.

Then it exploded into chunks of data across the floor.

Yuki grinned as she replaced her sword to it's sheath. Nothing felt better than actually killing something with an attack.

With the bats stunned and completely unable to move, Yuki raised her blade once more. Night was making it easy to hit them but she failed her by missing an attack completely with an advantage no less.

Her holy looking blade slashed through all the targets accept just a single one. If only her tanking could be a little more consistent without needing to purchase howl. She hated the idea of buying the skill, as it made her job as a tank even more boring when she couldn't just attack enemies, even if it was for measly damage in the first place. Shield might enjoy the stand and scream method of tanking, but it wasn't for everyone. She wanted to be in the thick of the fight

Soon they would rise this time, that is, unless Night puts them all on the ground again somehow. She took a defensive stance and readied herself.

Yuki was following behind Night to follow up on her attack the moment she made it, in case the Witch somehow survived, which it was lucky enough to have dodged. As Yuki came into attack, the Banshee's hand went straight through her chest. Wide eyed, Yuki was thrown back to the ground, unable to move for a moment. When she finally came back up she raised her blade and was ready to take aggro.

She took a swing at the wailing ghost. The blade just barely missed it's mark, she was more evasive than Yuki had planned for. Without tasting a health bar, her blade merely shined with elegance as heavy momentum procced. If the Banshee was still alive come around to her turn, she would maybe be able to get some damage in, if she was lucky with a shield a bash. She had yet to get a chance to try it in practice.

Yuki raised her hand behind her head and scratches at the pink locks a little nervously. "You're too kind Lessa." Yuki says, following beside her with an awkward smile.

As they approached the castle of the witch, Yuki stared up at the darkened sky that began to loom over them. Clouds that whirled with some ethereal energy made the hair on her arms stand on end. At least staring up at it had given her time to see the oncoming threat. Even though she was sure her higher leveled counterpart had noticed the enemies closing in on them, she still alerted her.

"L-Looks like they're coming for us! They're not going to let us get there without a fight!" The paladin's lance formed from her hammer space and readied in her hand. She was honestly a bit nervous to be trying to tank this high of a floor, so she would wait for Lessa to make the first move.

"Crow, use a direct shot for your next attack and weaken one of them so that Night can benefit from her abilities." The paladin's sword lit with divine elegance as she approached the group of bats. They laid on the ground helplessly stuck in their paralysis writhing to break free of the snares that had undertook them. A sword art hummed against the powerfully bright metal of her blade. Slashing at the group all at once.

The game decided that paralyzed or not, these things would elude her. How the hell did she miss three of them at once while they were unmoving on the ground? She growled in frustration as she readied for the group to get up and fight back. The annoyance was nothing but RNG and she would have it's head one day. 

"Stupid freaking luck of the draw making me miss somehow... This game really makes no sense sometimes."

(ó﹏ò｡)

How was she supposed to do this? Understanding the feelings of her relationship with a man was weird enough considering that she only just recently learned that she was attracted to them, and now she was sitting here on floor 3 trying to write the vows for her wedding. Her HUD was up with a few bullet points describing what she wanted to write in them, but she didn't know how to put words on paper. This easily wasn't her strong suit.

The paladin waved her menu shut and sighed placed her head against her knees. She wasn't going to get anywhere on this. Surely Crozeph would be writing them as well. If he had written really good vows and she could barely get a sentence off them, she would be extremely embarrassed with herself and Crow would get upset.

"Nah!! Maa Mou!!~" She groaned loudly, throwing her back into the grass with her feet nearly dipping into the water of the beautiful lake. "This is so hard! Why does it have to be so difficult?!"

A moment of realization that she wasn't alone had gone by. The voices of two others had tripped in just a she screamed. The both looked her way.

（ｏ。ｏ;）
Oops.

@Andromeda @Basuke @Crozeph

Yuki hadn't even moved from her spot. Night did way too much damage for her to even take a step towards the fight. Trying to hold back chuckling at Crozeph's attempts to taunt the boss out of his layer, Yuki simply walked up to her partners and looked at both of them.

"Yeah, he never stood chance, never really knew it was only you that killed him. Right between the eyes." Yuki said as she watched the data disperse back into the Cardinal system. "Well, what do we do next? I didn't think it would die that quickly, but you two do way too much damage." The tank complained. She wasn't going to hold a grudge on it though, as long as she got the experience for it in the end. That was all that mattered.

"Well, do we go make to my place for dinner again?" She could think of something else to cook.

Yuki walked into the hovel owned by the lady that was supposedly the Banshee. The totally obvious antagonist was spoiled for her! Absolutely atrocious! Ah whatever, let's go kill her and get the experience.

She stepped inside, seeing the first wave of Guardians and yawning. They were hardly a worry to her, but she would still have to do her best to make them focus on her and let them die to her thorns. She drew her shining blade and made her attack.

Upon walking in, the girl slashed the mobs with her newest sword art. The moment her blade touched them, they dissolved into a mist of data and blue polygon's. She blinked a few times, looking at her weapon. "I killed something? WITH A WEAPON?!" At this point the paladin begun to think that just about everything in the game could mitigate her attacks down to zero, but she had been proven wrong. For once, she hadn't needed to rely on Night or thorns, and even if it is a lower leveled quest, she was pretty happy with that.

NIGHT |

Yuki didn't care if 10 of them attacked her at a time. Four at once was hardly fair for the bats, but this wasn't a game about fairness. While the game had pitted their hopes and dreams against fate and time, she had turned the tables on becoming something so indomitable that it would be impossible for the system to find fairness in killing her.

"Sure, whatever floats your boat." Yuki shrugs as they two continue to walk where the bats were going to spawn. She didn't really need to, but just in case, she activated her parry skill again. Removing the sword from it's sheath while gaining energy in the form of light and storing it to protect her from harm. "Crow, you play it safely and try not to draw attention to yourself too much okay? I'll make sure things don't attack you without getting through me first, but I'd hate to see you hurt."

[Activates Parry]

Yuki pulled her blade from her hilt and activated her parry. While it was active, any attack that would subject damage to her would cause the system to move her body on its own and parry the damage away. A true tanking skill at it's finest. Once she had probably waited way too long to get a hold of. Her blade lit up with a yellow resonance as it was ready to protect her from any harm.

"Don't mess my hair up like that." Yuki pouts was she tries to fix her long pink locks. It always too forever to get it just right in the morning. Changing out of clothes was so easy, but when it came to hair, she still had to keep it well done. They soon approached the Monkey King's lair or whatever you call it. "Crow, why don't you make the first attack. Don't worry, I wont let it hurt you."

Yuki squeeze through the tiny area that Night had gone through to follow her and Crozeph. She had taken a lead on them, but the moment that Yuki heard a scream, she bolted down the hallway and drew her sword. The pink blur of her blade slashed through each one of her targets. Gruesome little guys holding pickaxes? Damn, just what kind of cave did Crozeph end up finding? They continued to get weirder the deeper the team went into them.

The little inane looking enemies took their pickaxes and embedded them into Yuki's frame, but she seemed less than bothered by it. The damage was minimal and already healed by the time they had pulled their weapons back. It was almost as if they were attacking themselves at this point. You'd think by now, mobs would have learned to stop hitting her. It would be the only way that they survived battle with her.

Yuki was actually pretty shocked. She remembered when her and Night were just barely starting out on Tier 2 levels and now they were ascending into the front lines. It hadn't felt like it was that long ago she was barely surviving just about every single encounter, and now that she had hit level 50+ she felt like she was too overpowered for everything. Soon, maybe she would be able to match Shield's ability to tank, though she feels like she is catching up to him pretty quickly, even if that was like reaching for the moon at this point.

"I get to try out a new skill I picked up." Yuki mentioned as she put a hand on her blade's hilt, pulling the blade out of her sheath. It gathers light for a moment, building into a bright sparkle, then dims as it slides back into the holster. "As if I wasn't tough enough already. Let's see enemies break my perfect guard now."

[Activate's Parry]

The Monkey King was another quest that Yuki had somehow missed while leveling up. It annoyed her that she passed up so many opportunities to gain such easy experience so early on. If she had down them while she was leveling, she would have been Tier 3 much more quickly and likely would have had a better vote among the consensus of front liners when she proposed to be a tank for them. That, however, was the reason that she, along side two others, were working their ways up the level ladder right now.

"This should be an easy boss compared to the other's I've fought. I've tanked Ugzeke, Blood Bane and Absolute Zero, so I'm hardly scared of some over grown monkey." Yuki mentions as the trio of players make their way through the forest of floor eight. "Let's just kill this thing so I can get my experience and move on to the next one."

Yuki didn't care so much what the quest entailed as long as she gained a good amount of experience in the end. It was worth noting that she had spent the last three days grinding and questing and it had net her a total of 40 sp already. The meeting at Baldur's estate had sent her into maximum over-level mode and she was only just continuing to maul through each and ever quest that came her way.

It was thanks to Night and Crozeph coming along with her. She wouldn't be able to deal with a lot of these quests alone in such a timely manner. Night's insane damage along with her and Crow's ability to supplement it when needed was so insanely powerful that they felt entirely invincible to everyone around them.

Lost in thought, Yuki shook her head and returned to reality. "You guys ready to head out then?"
