[F19-SP] Lel, I can't scout <Scouting the 19th floor>

[Macradon 0]

The fight was over, the great Malethis had been slain. Only thing to do now was to scout the next floor, find the boss room and get as much information as needed. Macradon didn’t want to lose on the information gathering like last time, he wanted to be the first to see the boss and its room, this would be fantastic. “I’ll go now, Commander!” he roared out as Opal seemed to be striking down the final strike, taking down the big bad wolf. Macradon would scuff lightly at it as he wasn’t too fond of the idea Opal getting a Demonic piece of equipment, but there was nothing he could do about it. Gritting his teeth as he would ran by all the corrosive pools and the reward screen for their effort, defeating and successfully clearing the 18th floor on the floating castle of Aincrad. Running past all and everything, Macraodn would reach the way to the next floor through the back of the boss room. With a quick gesture, Macradon would chuck down a quick damage potion to get things going.

Erupting through the gate to the 19th floor, Macradon’s eyes would be met with a bright light that would be emitted from the floor’s natural “sun”. This digital floor was magnificent, Macradon liked it a lot. “Woah” he would say out loud in amazement as he would notice everything as he stepped onto the floor’s wilderness. His time was short and he needed to be the one finding the boss room, so he had to be quick. Spotting what was going on here on the floor, he would look for animals and whatever creatures would be present here on the floor. It did not take long for Macradon to spot one of the creatures roaming the 19th floor and he would so charge right into battle to take care of the beast as fast as he could. With a quick stance change, Macradon went into an aggressive and fast guard in the form of his much used Neben Hut guard. He would rush forward, but stumble upon some of the terrain, being mostly vines, rubble and alike.

Infuriated by the sudden failure of his, Macradon would get back up on his feet. These monsters were not to be trifled with, and he was well aware of this. Monsters had become much stronger after the update took place. A hotfix took care of mob damage, and made it much much stronger. This lone deer standing in front of him, half plant and half stone, but still closely resembling a true deer. Its antlers a mixture of stone and twigs, those Macradon was quite sure that they wouldn’t just snap like that. With a quick retaliation, Macradon would spin around, slashing through the deer with his two handed sickle sword, cleaving down its health quite a bit with each hit landed. The health of the lone beast dropped tremendously and it would drop dead onto the woodland’s ground, dispersing into crystals and pixels. “This will be quite the journey” Macradon though for himself as he went on.

Actually not knowing where to go, Macradon wandered around aimlessly. It didn’t seem like there was any structure over these so called roads at all, it all seemed like it once was something, but now it’s nothing, just rubble and history. Macradon would try to walk along the path of what could have been a road and would therefore hopefully get close to a city or settlement, though he wasn’t all that certain about that, but he hoped. Locking eye contact with one weird beast, Macradon would spot a whole group of them. They were like bears, but with stone masks and stone armor, they seemed fierce. They charged up, rallying the whole 4 bear group towards their enemy, Macrad. In response to the bears’ reactions, he himself would charge towards them. Using his <Charge> Macradon would go deep into the battlefield. Having his sword held over his right shoulder, Macradon would pommel strike the bear that was closest to him right onto the stone mask, smashing it and the bear as well. A shock wave of energy would follow through and destroy the remaining stone bears as well.

The death roar of the bears would attract others, and Macradon could hear them stampeding over the woodlands. In return of the dying bears, the oncoming bears would return a roar in a fit of rage, they wanted vengeance to be served. Macradon was not too fond of the hostile actions and would go back into a stance, the same as before. His sword hanging over his right shoulder, ready to smash forward into anything. As the next group of bears came closer, Macradon went down lower in his stance, rushing forward with a great force and smashed his pommel right into the bear’s face, destroying it before everything else. The bear would deteriorate from the front and quickly to the back, everything swept away by the sheer force of Macradon’s attack. The after coming shockwave would defeat the last remaining bears, taking care of them without being able to call for help again.

Macradon would rush away from this place as he didn’t like being bombarded by groups upon groups of low life monsters like this, it tore down his energy quite swiftly, and he wasn’t too fond of that. Getting his hopes high for a town coming closer, Macradon would look around to see if there was any opening in this forest of a dead floor. A slight grunting noise would be heard not very far, nearly right besides him. He would look to his left and spot a small pack of boars. They resembled the same boars of the first floor, but all covered in moss, stone and plant life, they were nature’s monsters. Their grunts quickly turned into a more aggressive tone as they all began facing Macradon. With a swift movement, Macradon swept forward with his <Charge> and slammed his pommel right into the boars, decimating them before they knew what hit them.

Macradon would not falter, this destruction of animals was soon to be over, but not all just yet. He would roam across the floor’s old history that was littered around the ground. The floor getting more and more like an actual road. The trees getting more dispersed and less dense than what was at the start of Macradon’s journey. With not much to do, Macradon had to take action and venture to the closest settlement and get more information of this floor asap. As soaring birds would make their screech, Macradon could easily spot them diving down towards him. He would use his <Disguise> and hide himself as one of them as he rushed below one of the tree’s leaf covered branches. From coming under as Macradon, to get out as a falcon. Confused by the sudden appearence of a falcon and disappearance of Macradon, a surprise attack would easily be dealt to the speeding birds.

The birds were easily disposed off, just like all the other mobs. He didn’t have to take much time doing it, it was just … done. As he went on again, the trees would halt their disperse, it’s like this would be the concentration of trees per square meters for now, which wasn’t that bad. The trees were quite far from each other, so it wasn’t a problem at all, and Macradon could see quite so far through the trees in this forest like path. A large rock would stand in the way of Macradon and his path so he would try to run around it. But as he got closer, it wasn’t actually a rock, it was a dire wolf disguised as a rock. Macradon would not take too much time handling this one, so he would spin around in a furious fashion, cleaving into the wolf 4 times before continuing his run.

The wolf was easily disposed off as Macradon had anticipated, and he would continue his search for a settlement for him to take rest at. It wouldn’t be like any other journey like he used to be on, this one was quite so different, he was well aware of that. Not truly knowing where to go wasn’t that pleasant for him, it wasn’t a nice feeling at all, but he had nothing else to do. On his path, another wolf would show up, it was just sitting there, not being hostile at all, but Macradon wouldn’t care at the moment, it was an obstacle and it had to be dealt with. With his fierce spinning, he would shout out “SPIN TO WIN!” as he cleaved down the wolf and would continue on his hunt for a settlement. “I hope the settlement isn’t too far from here” he would think as he ran as fast as he could.

As he ran, something bit right into his leg, he somehow didn’t spot the thing. Confused by the sudden pain, Macradon would fall to the ground as he was tackled by a wolf, just like the two others, but slightly bigger. Maybe this was the alpha. Macradon did not have time nor precision from the ground to make a solid attack at the wolf, and he had taken quite the damage from the wolf as he laid there down on the ground with gaping teeth holes in his left leg where the wolf had bitten him. Macradon would roll backwards and get back up again, having his sword in a battle ready stance “Let’s do this!” he taunted at the wolf, even though it probably wouldn’t understand Macradon at all, it probably wasn’t programmed to comprehend human language. The sharp deep eyes of the woodland wolf stared directly into Macradon’s.

The two would stand, static like statues. Staring at each other, awaiting the other to make the first move. Macradon went from a high Ochs guard to a low Alber guard with his sword resting on the ground, the wolf would take that as an opening and would lunge right up at Macraodn. Its great paws ready to tear him apart and its tight jaw, ready to bite right into his fragile skin. With a quick reaction, Macradon raised his hands up and guard with an Ochs like grip where he would spin clockwise, making the wolf grab a hold of his blade. He would turn fully around and begin his sword art <Cyclone>. He would spin four times, slicing through the best horizontally, killing it instantly. Macradon would not waste much more time like this and begin his jouney once again, heading along the way of the forest path he was walking on already.

He would think for himself that he was in a safe space for now, the trees began spreading, dispersing, once again. Getting more open and more freely to move around in. Activating his <Search and Detect> Macradon’s eyes would get a shiny new green-yellow hue. At this moment, he could see through most obstacles and see much further, being able to spot anything. He did not have to walk for too long before he would see some buildings, or at least a structure resembling what could have been a building once. He would begin to up his pace so he could get into the settlement, if it was still that, before anyone else would be able to do so. As he got closer, he would spot villagers, NPCs. “Thank God that this isn’t a wasteland …” Macradon thought as he would set down his pace again, leaving his <Search and Detect> off for now as he knew where to go.

The terrain of this place, no, the scenery of this place was wonderous. It was stuck in autumn, fall. Most of the trees on this floor had nearly no leaves yet, the only trees keeping all of its “leafs” were the pine trees, though not actually having leafs. With a gentle, yet frustrated sigh, Macradon would slowly walk towards the town, not actually knowing what its name was, nor the location of it on the floor. Macradon had near to no knowledge of this place, it was a mere wasteland for he to know, that was until he spotted villagers on the floor, NPCs that roamed through their settlements. The birds were singing, chirping their usual songs. Macradon was not able to identify which species of bird it could’ve been based upon, he wasn’t an expert on animals at all, he only knew just a few different species within the racial kingdom of animals.

Not being too far from the settlement, Macradon would now to clearly hear the sound of the people wandering through the streets of this town. It was fairly large, but not as large as many other main settlements of Aincrad, more like a suburb or a province. Actually getting closer and closer to the town, the NPCs would notice the knight clad in white. “Oh, adventurer! Come closer!” and elderly man said, being one of the first to notice Macradon. Macradon would follow along, nodding at the man and would approach. Macradon was not wearing his helmet as he didn’t feel the need to at the moment. His white hair and red eyes paired perfectly with his attire, fitting his role perfectly. Without the need of his sword, he would stow it away in the harness on his back. “Welcome, adventurer” the elderly man said as he approached Macradon as well, using his cane to support himself.

Macradon would bow his head lightly as the two came into arm's reach. Macradon stretched out his and would engage in a handshake. “Welcome to Ralberg, the main settlement up here” the elderly man spoke to Macradon as their hands would meet and shake “Thank you very much, sir” Macradon would respond to the elderly man. “I’m new here a-...” he said but was interrupted “Of course you’re new here, you’re the first adventurer to set foot on here!” the elderly man said to Macradon. A smile grew on his face as he heard those words, ‘first adventurer to set foot here’. With glee spreading through his body, Macradon would listen to what the man would say further. Though before he would speak more to Macradon, he would drag him to the closest tavern and they would sit in there and talk. A crowd quickly formed, both inside and outside of the tavern.

They had been strolling through town as they headed towards the tavern. The town was old, rustique and slightly worn by nature, but still capable of housing people, a whole town nonetheless. In the tavern, quite the audience had gathered around Macradon and the old man, children and adults alike, all eager to hear about the adventurer, Macradon. “Sorry, sir, but I didn’t get your name. I’m known as Macradon by my fellow kin” he would say to the old man. “Ahhh, my name is Salem, nice to meet you” the old man would respond “The honor is on me” Macradon would say back again. It was quite the privilege to be the first adventurer in a town, not only that but a whole floor, it was quite thrilling. “Adventur- … I mean, Macradon, why have you been seeking this town? Why have you come here?” the man would ask Macradon.

“It’s quite simple” Macradon would initiate “I’m here to gather information, intelligence so to speak” he said. “I’m looking for a great tower, spanning way above the clouds up to the next floor of this floating castle of Aincrad” Macradon said “And that’s why I’m here. I would kindly like to ask if anyone knows anything about that tower” Macradon would ask, not only Salem, but the whole crowd, hopefully someone would know something about the tower he was seeking. “Mr. Knight!” a light voice said “Me and some friends were out in the forest yesterday, playing hide and seek, when we found this giant tower, just like you said!” the small voiced said, seemingly coming from a small child, a boy. With an intrigued face, Macradon turned to him “Would you be able to show me the way?” he would ask the boy. The boy’s face turned into a giant smile with glee.

The boy’s face was full of joy, he indeed would be able to show the way to the tower. “Yes! Yes yes yes!” the boy eagerly said. “Well then, let’s go?” Macradon said, already ready to follow up on his long journey. “But Macradon, why don’t you stay and rest for a while? Aren’t you tired?” Salem asked him. “No, not a bit. I’m a warrior, used to physical stress like this, but I will assure you, I will return soon” he said with a smile. He parted the ocean of people so he could leave the tavern with the boy. Outside the tavern were more people, some standing around the tavern, some looking into its windows. Everyone were eager to see the new person who had arrived at their town. The boy gathered his friends and they would all begin to run with enthusiastic expressions on them. “This way, Mr. Knight!” the boy called.

Soon enough they would get to the tower, it was gigantic, several kilometers in diameter, but still not something you could spot from the town, you had to climb up some of the mountain range to spot it in the distance, but Macradon knew where it was now. “Thanks, kids” he said “I’ll find something cool to bring back to you when I return. Now go back home again, I think your parents will be nervous if you don’t return soon” he would say with a soothing voice, watching the children walk away again. Macradon would not hesitate to go into the tower, but he had one last obstacle, a mountain goat, just staring at him. Both would try to go for an attack, but both also slipped on the edge of the mountain, though none really fell, just slowly glided down the mountain’s wall. None were hurt, but they were still in combat.

With a quick re-engage, Macradon spun around like he had been doing all day, slicing through the goat four times, killing it instantly. He had no time to waste, he had to get to the tower. It only took him half an hour of walking for him to get to the gigantic tower, and he quickly found the opening to get inside, ready to find the boss chamber. He went right inside the tower, but it seemed like a giant maze. He would have to go through the maze, find the staircase that would lead to the next floor of the maze which would eventually lead to the boss chamber, he knew it, it just had to be like that. Macradon breezed through the first, second, third and fourth layer of mazes like it was nothing, but then came the fifth layer, it was quite different from the other, it wasn’t a “square” maze like the others, this had a larger variety of shapes the maze was in.
