[SP-F2] The Sound of Buzzing <<Long Live the Queen>> .:COMPLETE:.


Recommended Posts

Nathan had just teleported in to the second floor for a very specific quest that he had in mind. Recently he had really been stomping down on these quests, each time growing more powerful and each time able to do more and more in regards to accomplishment. That was, in fact, what had brought him to the second floor. He felt that he was strong enough to take on a field boss and some of its lackeys, albeit a weaker field boss than most others. Either way, he desired the drop that came from the boss so he could increase his damage output for a bit on any potentially difficult fights that may come. Looking around the small city of Urbus, he took in the sights. It was a rather nondescript town, little to it in his opinion. Not terribly large or fancy, just kind of there. It reminded him of the old European estates that used to litter across the lands in that continent, almost as though the level designer had just copy and pasted an image of such a settlement into the game. Without anymore hesitation, Nathan began walking towards the edge of the town since he knew that he had to go out into the fields for the quest that he had in mind for that day.

Nathan walked to the edge of the town and out into the surrounding fields. Already he could hear the insistent buzzing of the wasps which were his target on this day and, after only a few minutes of travelling, he began to see the Wind Wasps that littered the fields. They did not seem particularly strong, he could take them on he was sure. He knew that a few of the minions had to be slaughtered before the Queen Wasp would come out, his true target for the day. He wondered exactly how many he would have to kill to draw out the queen and decided he would just have to kill as many as would be required. If anything he would just get a bit of extra loot if he killed a whole bunch of them. He had to be careful though, he knew that his rapier was more designed for single combat and not for taking on duels so there was a limit as to how many he could fight at once. Nathan continued scanning the fields and saw two wasps off a bit of distance away from the main group. After drawing Bloodletter, Nathan started walking through the grass and towards this lone pair of wasps, deciding them to be his first victims for this quest.

Nathan approached the two wasps carefully, watching their movements. As he approached the two wasps aggroed on him and flew towards him, stingers out. Their speed caught Nathan off guard so when they came buzzing towards him he dropped to the ground, the two wasps flying harmlessly over his head. Upon hitting the ground he immediately rolled over onto his back and slashed out with Bloodletter but the wasps had already flown past where Nathan lay. Quickly Nathan picked himself up, watching as the two wasps turned around and came at him again. Now that Nathan looked at the carefully, those stingers looked rather sharp and were probably coated with a toxin of some sort. That was plenty worrying.

The two wasps came in, their wings buzzing loudly. Nathan stood his ground this time, already getting used to the speed of the flying insects, and readied Bloodletter. Nathan dodged one of the wasps stingers as it came in and swung out with Bloodletter at the other, the blade catching the insect in its thorax. The wasp that Nathan had hit flew back a bit under the force, the buzzing faltering for a second as the wasp's health bar dropped slightly but quickly regaining strength as its brother came back to its side and the pair flew towards Nathan.

Nathan watched the two wasps come at him at their high speed flying. They almost seemed to have their movements choreographed, each motion precise and deadly. Nathan watched the two wasps come towards him and tried to dodge the first stinger but ended up not stepping far enough to the side. There was a sudden and sharp pain in Nathan's shoulder and Nathan looked over at the wasp which had its stinger in his shoulder. He raised Bloodletter to attack but then there was another sudden pain, this time in his back. As Nathan dealt with the pain the first wasp dislodged itself from his shoulder and flew off, Nathan's sword now passing through empty air. By the time Nathan had turned on the second wasp it had already dislodged itself and the two wasps met up a small distance away.

Nathan watched the wasps come at him once again and winced at the pain in his shoulder and on his back, a painful reminder of what he risked every time he left the safe zone on his own. The two wasps came in quickly and Nathan watched as the first one came at him. Rather weakly Nathan swung out at the wasp with Bloodletter. The wasp dodged the blade, backing off a bit from Nathan as it did. Nathan did not notice the second wasp coming in from behind, all of his focus on the first wasp, and the sudden pain in his back shoulder reminded him of the second wasp's presence. Nathan turned his attention to this sharp pain in his back and immediately regretted this decision. Nathan was by no means prepared to attack the wasp behind him and as soon as he took his eyes off the other wasp it darted in and pierced Nathan with its stinger once more. The two wasps backed off slightly and then darted forward once more in another attempt to attack.

The two wasps only backed off slightly then rounded back around towards Nathan and aimed there stingers at them. Nathan ran towards the oncoming threat, his rapier glowing a bright red as he accessed the sword art system. Right before contact Nathan slashed out with the blade, from left to right and right to left, Bloodletter cutting through both the wasps easily. The wasps paid no mind to this attack, simple drones that only thought about protecting the hive, they pressed onwards. The two wasps shoved their stingers into Nathan, one piercing his arm and the other below his chest. The reaction to the thorns was immediate and swift, Nathan watched as the health bars of both wasps dropped almost all the way to zero and then continued to drop as Bloodletter's bleed effect took effect.

The two wasps came at Nathan, their health still dropping slowly as the bleed wore away at the bar. When the wasps came within his range Nathan swung out at them, nicking the second wasp with Bloodletter and causing another marginal drop in their health. Their health continued to deplete but had not reached zero when the stingers of the wasps reached him. Once more both stingers pierced him and, once more, both the wasps reacted immediately as thorns took effect. The two wasps immediately withdrew away then froze in mid air, exploding moments later. A small notification indicating the two materials he had gained popped up, a window Nathan quickly got rid of. Nathan looked around the fields for another group of wasps which he could fight to try and draw out the queen.

Nathan walked through the grass, looking at the other monsters in the fields. There were dozens of wasps, any of which he could choose to fight. Many of them were flying in groups of five or six, though, making quite a few of the wasps not an option. No matter how sure he was in his ability to take out these wasps he was not so certain that he could take on so many all at once, he would have troubles just landing blows on all of them. He was by no means a stupid man and would not do anything absolutely reckless, even though many would say he was already being too reckless by soloing this game. That mattered little to Nathan though, it was just a part of his personality and no one could really change that.

In the corner of his eye there was a different movement, a smaller movement. Nathan turned the movement and saw another pair of wasps flying around, hunting for something. Nathan smiled and quickly ran over to where the wasps were flying by, wielding Bloodletter easily in his hand. Nathan took a few deep and even breaths and looked at his health bar, glad to see it was still almost full even with the damage he had suffered from the last fight. That would make this fight all the easier since health was apparently not that big of an issue. Nathan closed the distance between where he had been and where the wandering pair were flying.

The two wasps aggroed soon after Nathan approached at his full sprint, turning immediately. The two wasps buzzed forward, their stingers sticking out in Nathan's direction. Nathan stopped and stood his ground, readying to use Bloodletter as effectively as he could. The two wasps buzzed around Nathan and, individually, the two darted at him. Nathan was able to dodge the singular attacks easily but the flight speed of the wasps made it hard for him to land blows as they buzzed past him, his blade whiffing through the air behind the flying insects.

Nathan watched the two wasps turn back to him, both coming at almost the same speed so that they would land their strikes at the same time. Nathan turned towards one of the wasps and swung out with Bloodletter, the blade cutting through the thorax of the insect and leaving a thin line of red pixels on the wasp. As soon as the blow landed though the other wasp landed its attack, a sharp pain erupting in Nathan's back. As Nathan reacted to the pain from the first strike the first wasp pushed in and the stinger slowly penetrated Nathan's armour. The two wasps almost immediately withdrew, flying off a small distance before turning around and darting back towards Nathan.

The two wasps sped towards Nathan, their stingers seemingly sharp as they aimed at Nathan. Watching the two wasps approach, Nathan darted towards the two opponents and accessed the sword art system. Bloodletter began to glow a brilliant red as Nathan and the two wasps neared each other, thirsting for blood. The wasps darted forward, stingers protruding to Nathan's chest, but missed when Nathan hit the ground and rolled beneath them. Standing up he pivoted on his foot and used the sword art sweep, his blade flashing back and forth and cutting two incisions in the back of the insects' abdomens, knocking them forward and through the air. Their health bars continued to drop, Bloodletter having once again passed on its bleed effect.

Nathan watched the wasps fly forward a bit and, as they began to turn around, he darted forward and raised Bloodletter high. The first wasp saw the blade coming and flew to the side a bit so Nathan's sword passed harmlessly through the air where the wasp had been. The second wasp darted forward immediately, not having any incoming attacks to worry about. Nathan recovered from his miss and dodged the second wasp then turned around, having heard buzzing coming up from behind. Nathan rolled under the wasp, dodging the attack once more and picking himself up immediately so he was standing once more.

As Nathan turned around he noticed the second wasp coming on him already, its health bar inching ever closer to zero. Nathan slashed out at it with Bloodletter, missing just barely with a few centimetres to spare. Quickly he dodged to the side, rolling away from the wasp's attack and into safety. Picking himself up he looked over at the first wasp, which was quickly running Nathan down. That was until its health bar hit zero, then the wasp froze in mid air and shattered into a million pixels. With one enemy down Nathan turned to the second wasp and noticed its health bar was right above zero, one or two hit points left, just enough for him to kill it with a single blow. Nathan adjusted his grip on Bloodletter and charged forward, intent on finishing this fight.

Nathan ran towards the final wasp, Bloodletter singing through the air as the wind moved over it while Nathan sprinted. The wasp buzzed towards Nathan as fast as it could, its stinger dripping with its toxin. The two met halfway, Nathan thrusting forward with Bloodletter and the wasp thrusting forward its stinger. Bloodletter sliced through the insect's thorax and the two passed each other, the insect's health dropping past zero. The insect froze after the two passed and exploded into pixels, all of which fell to the ground. With its death came a small window, notifying Nathan of the two materials and a bit of Col that he had earned from the killing of the two wasps. With a smile he hit the acknowledge button.

With the vanquish of those two wasps Nathan brought his attention back on the wasps that were flying around the area. "That was four down, how much more could I possibly have to kill to bring out that queen?" With a sigh, Nathan resigned himself to fighting a bit more wasps. That was until he noticed a large number of the wasps disappearing from the fields, dissolving into pixels. Nathan smiled, guessing that the field of battle was being cleared so that the fight between him and the boss could be uninhibited. He waited expectantly for the field boss to spawn in, wondering just how big and scary this mob was going to be.

Finally the field boss spawned in and Nathan could not help but grin. The Queen Wasp was a huge insect, five or ten times larger compared to the regular Wind Wasps, it was hard to tell from where he stood. Nathan studied the field boss from where he stood. It seemed far too large to fly but there it was, floating just above the grass of the plans. He wondered how fast that thing could move, it seemed to be moving through the air with relative ease. He needed to be wary about the boss then, it would be a real shame if the bug were to kill him just because it moved faster than he thought it could move. Next, he studied the stinger on the large beast. It was at least twice as long as the regular wasp's stingers. It was more of a spear than anything and looked like it would be a nasty thing to get pierced by. That was about it though, movement and weapons. Not too much else to it, just a really big monster that he had to fight.

With his inspection of the field boss completed Nathan began his trek towards the boss. It was about time that he finish this quest and get its awards. As he approached the large wasp he adjusted his grip on Bloodletter, glancing down at it. First time tackling a field boss and he was feeling pretty confident, he had really good armour and a nice weapon. He hoped to make short work of the boss, maybe a few heavy hits and the beast should go down. If he could take on a huge minotaur then this should be an easy fight. His confidence bolstered with this thought and with that he walked within the aggro range of the field boss, as ready as he would ever be for such a fight.

The boss immediately turned on Nathan and flew forward. Even though there was a good two hundred metres between Nathan and the boss the Queen Wasp covered it in a few seconds. Nathan was amazed to see the boss already right in front of him and about to pierce him. Nathan tried to dodge but before he knew it there was a sharp pain in his lower abdomen as the Queen's stinger pierced him. The stinger went right through Nathan, causing Nathan great pain. Not as great as the pain the Queen felt as the thorns effect began to take its toll. After Nathan got himself off the stinger he looked up at the health bar of the Queen, backing away from the large wasp. The health bar had already dropped by around a fifth, thorns almost always seemed like a good reason to get hit. Though, he had to be careful. His armour would not always hold.
