[F1-PP-NK] Materials make the world go round. <<EaL Repeat>> (Rain)

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

With his materials pile growing low again, Nikodemus suited up in his new armor and equipped his axe and shield. Heading down to floor 1, he sent a message to his favorite alchemist to see if he wanted to tag along for some fun. With his axe in hand, he stood by the exit to the safezone, waiting for the man to arrive. He had a nice backup for finding materials in the form of 2 trinkets in his inventory that he would equip if the mob hunting went south quickly. Counting off the things he needed to get made and done, he grumbled a bit. "Need to get as much out here as possible."

[Rain 0]

The wanderer slowly stepped out of the gates of the 1st floor. He wasn't low on materials or anything, but based on the amount of materials he's been consuming in the past couple of days, he needs to start stocking up before his supplies run low.

As he took some steps forward, he casually opened his HUD and took out a Greater Damage Potion I. He has a bunch of these already waiting to be used at a moments notice. With his somewhat high level, he knew he'll be running into stronger mobs. Stronger mobs means needing more damage. That where potions come in. His pride and joy. His potions.

Seeing Rain approach, Nikodemus nodded to him and smiled. "Wilkommen friend. Glad you could join. Ready to go play with some boars and search for some materials. Been growing low on stuff, and I got a lot to be done before weeks. Debts to settle and stuff to make. Front line's a moving, and if we wanna stay with it, we gotta keep stuff handy right?" Looking the Alchemist up and down, Nikodemus smiled even wider beneath his ornate helmet. Stretching his limbs in his armor, he turned and set off towards the lowlands of floor 1. "You coming mate?"

[Rain 0]

Upon seeing his friend, the wanderer's face somewhat cracked into a smile. His thought were completely there as he's focused at the task at hand, but he still reacted. He slight raised his hands as a sign gesture of acknowledgment.

As Niko took off into the fields, the wanderer followed. Soon enough, they found a large group of mobs. In a rush, the wanderer quickly runs to the center of four of them, drew his blade and spins around. The air around the wanderer became a whirlwind of strikes that knocked up all four into the air and slicing them into pieces. The bodies of the mobs quickly broke into pixels before the bodies even got a chance to touch ground again.

Following Rain, Nikodemus came upon the Boars. Watching Rain dispose of them, Nikodemus turned and looked around. Seeing 4 more boars, slightly weaker than the others, Nikodemus shrugged and wandered over to them. With a whistle, he gave the boars a free hit. Watching them charge, he stood with his shield and axe at his side. Getting slammed into, he slid a few feet back, withstanding the charge. As they hit, his <Thorns> effect activated and sent a damaging buff through the boars, wounding them and breaking their charged. They scattered for a moment and then turned and began to charge again. Taking the whole thing seriously now, Nikodemus swung his axe and missed by a small fraction. Seeing this, Nikodemus rolled his hips and allowed the boars to charge by. Grumbling he prepared for the second round.

As the wanderer looked over to Niko to see if he's faring well, he sees Niko just getting slammed into like a ragdoll. He wanted to help him, but he was already low on energy. He was completely useless. He knew if walked in there, it would've just been a waste of time he could be regening energy for the next group of mobs. That in mind, he looked around for the nearest tree or rock to rest against. Something that he can just lay his back on. Regening his energy back would take some time, and the wanderer would prefer to watch Niko's bought while resting.

With the Boars charging in once more, Nikodemus charged forward to meet them head on. As he got within range, he let loose his axe, hurling it before him and activating his Sword Art <Tomahawk Thrust>. As the axe spun end over end, it whipped through the air and came straight at the Boars. Impacting into the first, it spliced through it, then slammed into the next, and so on until it exited the last one. Bounding from the ground, the axe returned to Nikodemus hand just as the boars all burst into pixels.

Rest against the rock there really wasn't much to do other than just letting his mind wander. From when they'll escape this place to when the wanderer will be in the front lines. But alas but a hope and a dream, one that might take awhile to come true. The wanderer is slowly being one of the best alchemist in Aincrad. Second, only to Zandra. He has of course only met her once, but both could tell their status in the world of alchemy. One day, the wanderer will out rank her and become the first grandmaster alchemist. One day.

Looking back at Niko, it seems he's just about done with his group of mobs. Looking over at the wanderer's HUD, his energy pool looks just about regen, just a little bit more.

With a sigh of relief, Nikodemus stretched out his back and smiled. "Whew! That was fun. You doing ok Rain?" Smiling, the armored giant sat down for a moment to catch regain some energy and strength. Looking to the Alchemist, he wondered at the mans thoughts. "Things going well?" His axe and shield sat across his lap, ready to be brought to bear against a boar incase one snuck up. His eyes constantly gazed the landscape looking for materials if any were nearby for either of them to grab. His attention was split between watching for enemies, trying to talk to Rain, and looking for materials.

[Rain 0]

The wanderer broke out of his trance at the drop of Niko's words. "Uh.. yeah. I'm fine. Just had stuff on my mind is all." He slowly got up and began to wander back into the fields. The thought of being the first grandmaster alchemist was still fresh in his mind, but that paled in comparison to the task he has at hand. He needs to collect materials for his potions so he can become the first grandmaster alchemist. That's what matters the most right now.

Sitting down, Nikodemus relaxed and allowed himself to regain more energy. He didn't need much, but he was not going to be foolish. Similar issues had once cost him to be stuck in battle for longer than it should have taken. Watching Rain, Nikodemus debated what he was thinking. The man seemed to be determined, but also slightly distracted. Ever the inquisitive person, Nikodemus fought himself from questioning the alchemist, having learned about the ideal of personal space and such living in this game. With a sigh, Nikodemus closed his eyes for a moment and let himself wander in his mind.

Looking on ahead, the wanderer quickly find a group of boars. The wanderer quickly took to his sword and began rushing towards the group. With a push of his feet, the wanderer jumps into the air, landing in the middle of the group. Before the mobs could even react, the wanderer draws his blade. With a single single swipe of his azure glowing blade, the wanderer causes a whirlwind to surround him and knocking all 4 boars into the air before falling back down to the ground and into the winds as pixels.

Sitting there in the tall grass, Nikodemus opened his eyes and inhaled deeply. The earthy scent of the grass in summer, the soil, and the breeze of warming leaves just before the autumn change filled him. Looking to Rain, he watched him dispatch another set of boars. With a slight smile, he chuckled in his throat and then looked about. His eyes caught on the area around him. Deciding he would go for more boars, He stood and patted himself down of dust and clinging grasses. Readying his axe and shield, he began heading out into the field with Rain, ready to fight,

As the wanderer headed back toward his resting spot, he spots Niko walking back into the fields. He left off a slight chuckle as he thinks of this situation as tagging out. Wanting to milk this stupidity he raised his hands up. "I'm tagging out." he says as he slaps Niko's hands as if doing a tag team match. I'm sure, Niko has no clue what's happening in the wanderer's mind, but this situation overshadowed the wanderer's somewhat troubled thoughts.

"Ok. No problem." With that, Nikodemus approached the boars. His axe began to glow a sickly emerald color. Throwing his axe out, he activated his Sword Art <Tomahawk Thrust> and hurled the blade through the air. As it whipped around, the blade slammed into each boar and tore through them, then returned to his opened hand. Catching it, he watched the boar begin to muster a charge. Preparing his axe once more, he readied himself to attack once more.

As the wanderer lounged about on the somehow chosen resting spot, he watched over Niko and his bout. He doesn't do as much damage as the wanderer, but what he lacks in damage, he makes up for in sustainability. The one thing that the wanderer lacks the most. You can imagine him as a one hit wonder and after getting that big hit, he retreats back into his lair waiting and scheming for another opportune moment to strike once more - after his energy completely regens.

That's going to be a factor, the wanderer needs to work on, before he ever thinks of touching the front lines.

Standing tall, Nikodemus watched as the beasts charged him. Preparing himself, he brought his axe forward, but the boars had predicted it and slid to the side and under the blade. Unable to do anything, Nikodemus watched as the beasts slammed into him with full force. Their tusks slashed across his legs and abdomen as they tore pixelated gashes into him. He grunted slight and then shrugged off the damage. Preparing his axe once more, he grumbled and then prepared for another bought.

Breaking out of his trance, the wanderer looked back at Niko's bout. It seems, he's having a bit of a debacle. The wanderer slowly got up thinking he should help, but after standing up, he noticed that Niko still has more than enough energy to spare. "huh... he should still be fine..." That in mind, the wanderer began to walk back to the fields. As he was checking Niko's stats, he also noticed that his energy pool is just about finished with a full regen. Thinking should waste time, he decided to make his way back to the fields for another set of slaughtered mobs.

Looking at the group of boars, Nikodemus brought his axe up and prepared to strike. Swinging hard, his blade whistled through the air at the boars. Missing by a slight fraction, Nikodemus pulled his arm in and then rotated his body hard to the left, pulling himself from the path of the beasts. Moving freely from them, Nikodemus smiled and watched the boars charge off and then turn for another pass. "Let's finish this!"

As the wanderer steps into the fields, he quickly spots another group of mobs. But these four in particular were different. They weren't exactly mobs you'd find on this floor. He's never seen them ever in all his time he's spent here. They were... giants.

The wanderer quickly grabbed Bakuzan. Within seconds, he began rushing right at the group of large Mountain Giants. He quickly ran between all of them. As the wanderer slowly drew his blade, it began to glow azure. «Haku Senpu» Before the giants could even react to what's going on the wanderer began to spin cause a whirlwind to blow from his position. Within seconds, the giants flew into the air. The air continuously sliced and diced them until there was nothing left but the pixels.

Looking back at his companion, it seemed like he's still in a fight, but the wanderer can't help him, that last attack of his drained his entire energy pool.
