Snake Venom to Yuki x2

She wasn't done yet. The bosses were already considerably weakened, but she wasn't going to take any chances with this. The debuffs given to her by Raidou made this easy and she could see why Night absolutely swooned over these things. With a click of it's button, she threw down the last crystal on the ground next to the others. The swirling mix of piano music was a bit jumbling. She could see why they have this kind of effect on enemies.

Now all she had to do was wait for the protection boss to be defeated, the bunny made of candy that was almost universally known as the most disgusting candy ever: Toffee. How many people actually chose toffee over other candies? If they did they were weirdos confirmed. Yuki drew her sword for the moment that Night unstealthed from her position and reset her dots on the rest of the caramel warren.

She was going to treat him with a meal, but it seemed as though he didn't want to talk further. "I'm not done yet." She mentioned, looking down at the vial's of Snake Venom that she had gotten, her own and Freyds. These things would be nice for Night, so she would be saving them for her. Next she was going to kill the Hebishinu. The snake that started her fear for real. There would need to be more planning for that big snake though. Antidotes and maybe a para-immune piece of gear that could be useful.

The paladin made her way back to the teleporter of the floor. She needed something to eat herself. Just thinking about the Hebi made her hair stand on edge. She hated that stupid thing, but it was all the reason more to give it the solo-style ringer. She wouldn't let it catch her off guard again, even if it would be a difficult fight to take on alone and she risked getting swallow whole again.

"I'm fine. Do not interfere." She said without even taking her eyes off the boss. Her sword was ready for the next attack, it reached in and tried to hit her, missing at first. She quickly slashed it across it's neck, leaving a weak red mark there. It rotated it's body, slamming hard into Yuki's form. She barely moved from her spot, only being knocked back with her feet dragging through the sand. The boss it's self wasn't feeling so good.

It's form phased through and grew static distortion until it exploded into nothing but data. Yuki sighed when the both of them were finished, checking her inventory for the drop as usual. "Alright. You should have gotten a drop from the boss. I have a friend who absolutely loves these drops that come with damage over time effects. Could I ask for that item from you? If not, it is totally fine." Yuki gave him a smile as she closed her menu. "Thank you for abiding in my wishes."

Yuki's focus was mostly on the boss at this point, even though she heard Freyd's words, it was nearly dead and she wanted it gone. She sheathed her sword in it's usual hiding place and readied for the next attack. It Amphis Serpen jumped on her quickly, smashing it's head in the sand as Yuki jumped back without much of a care. Quickly, she rushed forward throwing a heavy punch at the serpentine enemy. Just as she reached in, it's head exploded the sand around it, throwing her off course.

The paladin spun in the air and landed on her feet. Woe is the tank life of doing no damage. This is fine however. It can suffer with low health like how it made her suffer. Looking down at her HUD, she noticed that her Shield Bash was now on cool down. How annoying. That attempt had ruined her chance to kill it here with an attack. She would have to wait for it to hurt her.

"Please. You should hardly apologize for other's mistakes. Shield said his peace and it should have been laid to rest when you spoke back up. You have nothing to be sorry for." Yuki decided to leave it at that. There was no point in dwelling on the past, everyone wanted they're opinion in to either protect her, or to show that she is capable enough to help.

"This boss is a rather easy one from what I remember of Cordelia fighting it. There aren't any special mechanics to him, just hits really hard. I do remember him taking on a much more raging appearance, but he never got a good hit enough on that girl for me to judge the difference in damage. I doubt he can get through my perfect guard in any case." Yuki wasn't trying to sound confident, but she did have a sort of cockiness to her. She believed in her build in the same way Shield did. With proper planning, nothing could ever defeat her. The floor boss was likely a different story though, this is why all she could do was continue to level and show every one that she could do fine.

"Do not worry boys. I am your shield for this fight, and I will not falter." They walked through the tunnels of the underdark for some time until the stomping of the massive chunk of muscle rumbled throughout the cavern. This would be a good time to show Baldur what she was capable of so she will be sure not to screw it up. "Alright, I'm going to make the first attack. Once I have the things attention, feel free to move." She smiled at the the both of them walking up to the boss, not even drawing her weapon. 

The beast finally took notice of her, but it didn't really seem to care to much that she existed, or it didn't really realize that she was here to fight? Either way she would start this fight off then. She removed the sword from it's sheath, slashing it in his direction, but somehow missing his form. Well, this was going well already. Her armor only seemed to glint more as she missed her attack, making the cave light up even more in her holy resonance.

"I'm not quite the noob I was when we last met." She repeated his words to her. He acted as though she wasn't paying attention to anything around her. That wasn't the case. She had no need to listen to encouragement or something that didn't change the course of battle. It was something of selective attention.

With her attention turned, the Amphis Serpen found it's moment to strike. It bit her again, ferociously and lifted her up. It's teeth sank deep into her stomach and set a poison into her health bar. The paladin freed her hands quickly and stabbed the beast in the eyes with her weapon. It recoiled enough to let her go.

"That is exactly why you don't talk about anything needless in battle." Yuki mentioned as she turned her focus back to the boss. She wouldn't let it catch her off guard again. The poison was what nearly killed her last time, but not this time around since she has collected battle healing.

Yuki munched on the perfectly cooked Kobe steak that she had made for her and the rest of her party while observing the information that she had on the quests. Wail of the Banshee looked insanely easy for her and this group. To be fair, though, Night did so much damage that Yuki hadn't worry about even taking skills to give her damage. Hence why she was such a powerful tank right now.

"Alright, let's start with wail of the banshee, then we can move on to Hidden Village then Monkey King. There's no time to waste with leveling now. Its more important now than ever. I need to be as strong as possible to tank anything that comes at me in this coming boss battle. Are you all okay with starting it tomorrow? We worked hard today so I think it's time we earned a rest. We'll see each other on floor 10 in the afternoon of tomorrow."

The first head that she had finished was plowed into the sand, unmoving either from the massive damage she inflicted or just out right dead. It likely wouldn't disappear until the second part of the boss was finished off, which made sense. Either way, the remaining part was still to deal with. It charged her with the murderous intent in it's feral eyes apparent. Yuki braced herself, standing still and letting the biting attack cover her chest. The monster instantly released her from it's mouth as the thorns pricked the inside of it's mouth.

"Good try." Yuki said, "But that wont work on me this time."

Freyd's words had fallen on deaf ears. Yuki's mind was set on the battle in front of her. This fight was sealed the moment that she took step in the bosses layer, but she wouldn't let anything catch her off guard anymore, especially not this stupid snake.

Amphis Serpens: 7/175 -(74) | DMG: 70 | MIT: 45 | PSN: 20/5(9-10)

Yuki smiled warmly at the compliment from her friend. These were two of the only people who came to eat at her place, but in all honesty, if she had kept better stock, she might get more business. It felt weird to make food and store it to be sold at a person's request, but she could see why they preferred it that way.

"Thanks, you two are always welcome here, and I'll always be happy to cook you anything you might want." She said happily. "Our progress on leveling has gone great so far. I've looked through more quest logs to see which ones I might have missed and could use for experience. Next, I think we should look into doing these quests." She pulled up her HUD with a wave of her dominant hand and looked through her own notes. "Quests that look doable with our builds: Monkey King, The Iron Guardian, Wail of the Banshee, The Hidden Village and Bandit Camp. I don't know which ones we should do next, but we should start sooner rather than later."

The paralysis finally waned from her body, allowing her to move again. At least this time there had been no snakes to eat her, that was nice. She got up to continue the fight, but Night's blighted destruction had already turned the bees into nothing but a puddle of goop and poisonous sludge. 

She sheathed her sword and sighed, watching Night leave and then turning over to Crozeph. The girl reached her arms out and wrapped them over her soon-to-be warmly. "Thank you for protecting me. You did good, so don't be angry. It happens some times. I am fine right now, so let's go home and get you something to eat before move on to what we do next. Maybe we can get a nap in too." And with that out of the way, the paladin began to lead the duo out of the floor and back home much higher.

The paladin huffed as she got out of earshot of the other two. People had been complaining and complimenting her since the boss meeting and it was honestly one of the most stressful things she's had to endure since entering the fields of Aincrad. The best she could do is to stay determined and continue to grow stronger with each passing day.

A groan escaped her breath as she clawed her way out of the ditch where the boss had taken place. She had half a mind to continue making her way to the floor teleporter, but she wasn't that mad. Waiting for the other two to come up out of the hole, she sighed and thought about what Crozeph wanted from her. He was worried about her well being for going to this dangerous floor boss, but that's why they had taken to power leveling. Yuki was never a coward, she wasn't scared of almost anything. She wasn't going to back out of something because it looked difficult, she would prepare to her best knowledge and improve herself for the coming hardships. She hoped he would soon be able to see that.

"I don't need it."  Yuki put simply. "It's unnecessary weight."

The sandy pit that she had nearly died in was empty for now. She could remember the battle like it was yesterday. Her own screams piercing through her consciousness threw her off balance.

'Dasukette!!'

She shook that off and gave her cheeks a pat to clear her thoughts. Worrying about these past mistakes and feelings would help her now. She was strong now - capable of just about anything she put her mind to. That stubbornness would make her an asset, but also a hindrance if she didn't continue to better herself.

The ground shook, signifying the bosses arrival. Yuki had not even drawn her weapon as the duo of snakes emerged from the sands in front of her. A disgusting hiss of it's poisonous jaw didn't even falter Yuki. She did her best to keep her composure. There was no threat of paralysis, so no need to worry. Yuki's serious tone continued to break the norm for her as she called out to the beast.

"I'm going to murder you." She said as she took a fighting stance, weapon still in it's holster at her side. It was hardly a fair fight. The Serpens dove at her with it's speed showing strength, but Yuki was just as fast. She reached up and grabbed the snake by it's lips, not even faltering at the force that she had stopped dead it's tracks. With a wind up of her fist the girl unleashed a devastating punch that smashed the serpents head into the sand. Now for the second head.

The paladin was back on this floor. Floor 21 had really captivated some memories for her. It wasn't where she initially met Night, but it was where they really started to learn more about each other. Not to mention escaping those dark elves on horse back and fighting in a moving carriage. It's not a memory she'll forget easily.

But now it was time to create new memories.

As she approached the area Crozeph told her to meet him, she noticed an extra katana. Long brown locks and a blue haori? Had Crozeph invited Baldur too? A strike of nerves shot up the paladin's neck. Baldur was someone important to Crow and she didn't want to look like an idiot in front of Crow's friends. She needed a moment to- Nope Crozeph has seen her at this point. She took a deep breath and did her best to calm the antsy feelings in her chest.

"Oi!" The girl called out, her armor reflecting the dim light of the cave as she approached. A large smile painted on her lips as she stopped next to Crow. Now what does she say? Leaving it on 'Oi' would be awkward. "I-I remember you from the meeting, Baldur-kun. Your house was so lovely, it made me feel right at home. I guess I should introduce myself formally." The girl took a deep breath, hoping she wasn't saying anything stupid.

"Ore wa Yuki, yoroshikune~" She started. "I am a tank that will gladly offer my shield to the front lines. I have met the standards you laid out in the meeting, except for having purchased Howl. I am currently working on gaining the skill. Lastly, I am the one who makes sure this sleep-head has a place to sleep safely and food to eat." A glance to Crozeph offers him a smile. "So was this just a message to meet Baldur, or are we actually going to quest?" She asked giving a look to Crow. Don't talk too much Yuki, you'll look over eager.

@Baldur @Crozeph

Yuki stared at the request as it ticked down.

15...

She had no problem telling him what had happened, but she hated this boss. "When I was around your level, I took this exact boss on alone and survived with only six health points remaining. It has scarred me to this day. I wish to show it my revenge, even if I must beat it into submission with my bare hands. This fear won't hold me down any longer. I won't let it feed into me and be a potential weakness." The girl lightly tapped the accept button on her menu and sighed. "I apologize. That was all out of line. I'm going to embarrass this boss. Please allow me to fight it alone."

Yuki started to walk from the safe zone towards the boss spawn. She remembers it wasn't that far from the settlement. For a moment, she looks up on the cliff where her savior had come to save her before she died.

"If you wont follow my rules, I will not bring you. This is my fight. It's not about being dead weight, because you're not. This boss is mine. I am going to murder it and if you touch it, I will remove you from my friends list." Her tone was serious, this is no joke. Yuki was extremely passionate about this for some reason. She halted the accepting the group request, letting the timer on the quest. Yuki's eyes were stern and serious. it was clear that she wouldn't accept any other answer from the lower level player.

"I apologize Freyd, but this is important to me and I can't let you intervene. It's okay to be carried some times. I did it my entire way up tier 2. You have until this group request end to accept my terms. Other wise I'm going to kill it alone."

@Freyd - The Whisper in Shadows

Yuki dipped forward a bit as someone collided with her. A familiar feeling. Though, she was not expecting it to be who it was. His name was coming to her slowly, which was weird since she normally could remember names well. It was easily the change in attire that caught her off guard, but it came back to her quickly enough to not make her look like an absolute idiot. "Freyd." Her voice was more in shock than surprise. She honestly hadn't thought she'd be seeing him for a long while unless he was to message her, which he hadn't. "You seem to be getting along well enough." Yuki's normal smile or fierce look was non-existence. "I apologize, I'm doing something important. I'm going to beat a boss, join me if you want, but I have my usual rules, and there is only 1 this time. You watch. That's it, nothing else."

@Freyd - The Whisper in Shadows

The paladin was never keen on soloing bosses, but this one was an exception. The Amphis Serpens had nearly killed her the first time she met her. The last time she met this creature, Night had killed it in a single hit. She was a coward when it came to snakes and serpentine, but she wouldn't that judgement cloud her any longer.

Arriving at the village where the boss spawns, Yuki takes a moment to look at her gear before she goes into battle. Thinking about how this boss worked there wasn't much at all that could threaten her. This trip was about facing her fears and becoming a stronger person for it. A tank had to ensure that their weaknesses were covered or they would be easily exploitable. If the upcoming floor bosses were snakes, she wouldn't be caught of guard. Yuki clicked on her armor and removed it from her battle ready slots.

@Freyd - The Whisper in Shadows

Yuki gave the girl a warm smile. She knew Night might not have the best interpretation of what exactly a Maid of Honor was, but if she needed help, Yuki would help without a second thought. The planning was all going to be done by the pink paladin herself. Night's involvement will be making sure that everything that is planned run smoothly for their wedding.

"We'll talk about the details when he's not around okay? I'll help you as much as you need it. I don't think anyone else would work for this position, and there is definitely no one I would trust more with it than you." She gave the other girl a smile, but when she looked down, Yuki had already finished their meal,. She had subconsciously made it almost without looking. "Here, take your plate." She smiled handing Night the food and grabbing her and Crozeph's plate to take to the Kotatsu.

Yuki takes up the Terra Firma scale and inspects it. It was like a piece of candy to her, but it wasn't like she was going to be eating it or anything. Instead, she would be putting it away in her inventory.

"I won't let you join the floor boss battle" And there goes her good mood right out the window. She scowled at him and turned her head. He was genuinely concerned for her safety, and in honestly so was she. This isn't something that she really wanted to be talking about right now. Yuki took the performer crystal that Night had offered her and moved it to her inventory. The paladin folded her arms around her chest and pouted a bit.

"I will do what I want Crow. I get that you are concerned but this is my choice, not yours." The paladin said walking past the other two towards the teleporter of the floor.

Yuki laid on the ground helplessly. There wasn't much she could do in this situation. Hopefully, nothing would stop the bees from attacking her and dying for their idiotic rampage against her.

Soon Crow was at her side, doing anything he could to protect his fiancee from the onslaught of their attacks. He was doing an amazing job at it too, his sword almost reacted to his emotion. The Queen was frozen and shattered instantly. Even more enraged they attempted to attack her yet again. One of them lost they're life for it. She swore that she was starting to get feeling back in her hands at this point.

The paladin sat when Shield told her to. Her eyes were buried into the tatami mat as several people voiced they opinions, their concerns and their recommendations for her offer. She just wanted to do what she could to help with the boss raid. It was for this reason that she had powered weeks and weeks worth of grinding and learning to reach this level. She wasn't quite at the level that she felt totally confident but she had met the minimum standard that Baldur had mentioned in his opening.

This conversation was beginning to derail in a way that made her start to feel uncomfortable. Soon, it could devolve into an argument that she refused to listen to. Even after Baldur had kindly asked people to save the topic for later, they continued to try and vouche for her, or to explain further why they believe she shouldn't be on the front lines. This wasn't what this meeting was supposed to be about and she wouldn't let it continue.

"Please. Stop talking about me. Concerns have been voiced adamantly and Baldur has asked you all to focus on the topic at hand. If my presence becomes a problem of focus, I will leave. We can talk about what I can do to help after this initial meeting." Yuki's voice was a little broken up as she tried to maintain her posture. She hadn't expected so many people to voice their opinions on her, but this wasn't the time. She hoped that her words would be lead people into talking about what was important. She just didn't want to be the center of attention anymore. This whole time, her eyes were glued to the mat under her knees. This was probably one of the most embarrassing things that she has had to endure for awhile.

It didn't take long for the group to get back to floor twenty-two. It was always nice to be home as usual. The trio went through the town of Coral and made it back to Mikoto no Shouen. Once they were inside, Yuki changed into her common attire, the pink kimono, and handed Crozeph some plates and silverware.

"Crow, go set the table and make sure the heater under the kotatsu is turned on low. Night, help me set up some of the food please." Truth was, she didn't need help with any of that crap. Cooking was way too easy in this game. Once Crozeph was out of ear shot, she pulled Night over to her, talking somewhat hushed to ensure that he wouldn't hear their conversation. "Night. This is a random bomb shell, but I'm sure that you know by now that me and Crozeph are dating. Well, we've discussed... getting married soon and I think we're going through with it. I know you probably don't know anything about this... but would please be the Maid of Honor?"

The mention of items perked the paladin's ears. The biggest reason that they had done this quest in the first place was to get Yuki the unique drop that Terra Firma gave. The scale, it should have been given to player who dealt the killing blow. Her fuchsia coloured eyes trailed over to her better half and gave him a glowing, cute smile. "Crow! May I have the item that you should have got from the boss when it died? That item will be super important for the floor boss and help me keep up my tanking from beyond buffs!"

The item was definitely Crow's but she still couldn't help but ask. That item was really something special compared to other consumables since it stretched the amount of enhancement slots beyond what could be given. "Oh, and did you want to give that item to that person Night? Sure, this item was the only that I wanted really badly. Everything else was fair game."
