[SP - F1] A Lonely Journey [Part I]

[Seul 1]

He needed some time to clear his head. A lot had happened recently; the most memorable event being him joining the Knight of the Blood Oath. No longer was he fighting only for himself, but instead for his comrades in the guild and the players as a whole once he joins in on the raid battles. There was one thing he still lacked though: Power. Until he was able to use tier two gear he'd be useless against the higher floors and the challenges to come. It was true agony; being only a few levels away, but at the same time so far away. It was time for a change. His current set had been with him for a while now and a change would be welcome. With that in mind, he would set out on at rip across Aincrad as a learning experience of sorts.

Of course his first stop would be the first floor. Wandering through the forest was always one of his favorite ways of passing time. On most occasions the trip would be serene, with the woodland creatures scampering about and the sound of the foliage crunching beneath his shoes. But occasional this part of the level would have exceptionally strong monsters for a location on the first floor. A hunt would do him some good he figured. It was just a matter of finding a monster worthy of killing, so in the meantime it was mat gathering for him.

As he continued to wander a group of three higher level monsters spawned in, granting him the perfect opportunity to attack. He placed his kitsune mask down over his face and sprang forward while activating the Cross Edge sword art. The closest goblin was cut down after a single attack which left the other two to fend for themselves. They each took swings at the boy with their spears, but Seul's shield managed to intercept the hits to negate the damage.

The goblins definitely were living up to their name. Seul charged in with another Cross Edge, but the goblins had evaded to attack with ease. It was interesting to see enemies capable of learning in this game. He had only used the move once, but they had already learned how to avoid it. He'd have to admire their skill later though as they both launched stabs in his direction. His shield blocked once again and gave him enough time to establish some breathing room.

He'd just have to try again! Seul rushed forward with Cross Edge activated yet again, bypassing the thrusts from the elite goblins and using the openings in their strikes to land his attack. The sword art left a large gash wound on the monster's chest, but only brought it to a near death state rather than kill it entirely. He would retreat once again while taking a moment to examine his energy bar. Cross Edge wouldn't work again. He'd simply have to wait it out if he wanted to use the move.

Seul would sacrifice his opportunity to attack to allow the goblins a chance to advance. Keeping his shield raised he would try his best to fend off any attacks as he awaited the stamina bar in the corner of his vision to refill. One managed to stab his thigh while the other cut a gash mark into his cheat with the head of its spear. Thankfully the thorns enhancement on his cloak activated and finished off one the assailants while simultaneously wounding the other. If he could land a cross edge during his next maneuver the fight would be over.

The remaining goblin seemed to be in shock after witnessing the death of its friend only mere seconds earlier. The young knight wasn't about to let such a prime opportunity pass by unnoticed and as such he activated Cross Edge once more. The pattern etched into the elite goblin's flesh was too much for it to handle and it died shortly after in an explosive array of pixels. With the fight over, Seul dropped to his knees a gasped for air. He removed his mask and looked toward the  energy bar which was depleted entirely at this point. "Just made it..."
