The sudden order would snap his body awake, allowing his conscious to finally take a little control, and so he would aim to strike for the lion without even so much as a sound coming out from his lips. The movements were sloppy as usually, thus he was unable to anything at the current moment and his attacks seemed foolish. However, despite how awkward his slices might have been, he was able to land a bunch of red critical hits at the top of each one, resulting in the flurry being much more than a success. The lioness was launched back as he was slowly taking control of the body he had, the alcoholic part of it beginning to wear off, much to the consciousness of the snow-haired player, not at all pleased with how his drunken state was doing such stupid things. This time, he fought the sleepiness as well when he stepped back. The most he would emit was a yawn, but at least he could keep his eyes half open this time around.

All her calls went unanswered as the boy continued to do as he pleased while dancing around with the lioness. She grit her teeth as she had some very unladylike thoughts that she decided against voicing them. Instead she tried her best to parry the incoming attack, doing her best to ignore his abnormal behaviour and focus on the current opponent: 'Man, being a tank really sucks.'  
She exhaled, tightening the grip on her weapon as she received the lion's attack. Its claws dug into her vambraces, lowering her HP even more making her wish she had invested in the battle healing skill. Making a side note to do it when some SP would be made available. Nonetheless, she looked at it and after bringing her beloved fallen weapon in front of her, she unleashed her most powerful sword art against it. 

She let out a exasperated cry when it saw the lioness retreating with her HP completely depleted. Her damage felt short and the mob didn't die in the familiar polygonal explosion.

He watched with as much strength as he could possibly muster, trying to avoid sleeping once again to see what the result of the strike had been. Despite the red critical appearing, it seemed like Ariel could not finish it off in a single blow like they have been doing. Seems like the Fallen Damage took it's toll, this was the punishment he would face should he continue to pursue the weapon. Does he? Regardless, he does. The mute drunk player would launch forward again, looking to finish it's health the best he could with the same sword art he had been using for a while, which admittedly was a waste of energy, but he currently did not know any better at the current moment. At least he had a sure chance of ending it if he landed... And so his focus would again point towards his target. Muscles braced, he would then slash through the thick pelt of the lioness swiftly, shattering it to pieces.

Seeing their momentarily final foe shatter into non-existence with the same boring polygonal animation, let the blonde reflexively relax her weapon handling hand. It wasn't one of the most difficult battles she'd participated in but her partner's laid back attitude really got on her nerves. She'd eye him in his dazed state and frowned "Are you fooling around?" she asked with a displeased tone. Then sat down to allow herself to recover while checking her inventory list for any kind of poison removing item. She had gained a item that could cancel out bleeding but... "It isn't here." she said displeased as she couldn't find the orb she got as a reward from the easter event a while back. She dismissed the inventory window with something that resembled a slap in the air and looked at Sey.

"I'll have to rest for a bit until the bleeding's gone at least. How about you draw one of those lionesses here and fight one so that you don't get bored?" she asked with a mischievous smile and continued. "Make my job a bit easier."

The instant the battle was over, his body would finally return back to it’s normal state followed by a list of patches in his HUD screen. One of them was highlighted, mentioned how alcoholic items become protein. The drunken state he was in became null thanks to this. What perfect timing as well, as the pissed off blonde seemed to shoot a question his way with a tone that suggested nothing less than threat. Not that he cared, not like there was fear for her. “I had no control over my body. I was drunk, and that contributed a bit to their defeat. Seems like the game has other plans though…” He explained, swiping the patch screen away from him. What a waste of an item, now he was inflicting normal damage again.

Ariel with her brilliant and not at all stupid plans would suggest he messed with some of the lions instead of try to heal her wounds. “After I lost my alcoholic effect and far more than half my energy, I don’t think that would be such a good idea. You have a balance fighter in your party, I heal wounds as well.” Sey explained to her, placing out his palms and letting green light emit from them. While he was down on energy, he barely had a chance against one lioness. It seems like she was really twisted, even drunken Sey wouldn’t think of doing such a suicidal thing.

The light would emit a warm blissful touch through Ariel's body as his healing attempt was extremely successful. Sweet, even without his combat crafting gear, he was able to excel in healing. While it was not going to cover up the bleeding damage, it will prevent her from getting dangerously close to the halfway point of her health bar. Even better for her, no need to use a stupid potion. Balance builds, looked down upon for little reason.

"Not a good excuse." scoffed the blonde as she listened to him talk. Seemed that the haze that was present in his eyes cleared out, the boy was even starting to talk sense as she told her details about his build. At first she didn't knew what this 'balanced fighter' meant and could only suspect what he was referring to. Seeing him extend his hand at her caused her body to involuntary tense as she scowled and clenched her teeth. But all her anxiety was for naught as after he touched her, she could visibly see her HP gauge replenishing almost entirely. "Not bad." she said with a grin as the bleed icon under her green health bar also disappeared. "I'll have to keep that in mind." she muttered as she looked at her hand while closing it into a fist and opening it, repeatedly for a few times. But her eyes trailed towards the upper left corner of her vision, more specifically the small blue Energy bar that was a little less than half depleted. So the blonde patted the earth next to her and said: "Still we both could use a energy recharge, so sit down until we get it back to full. Seeing how the gals gave us this much trouble, I'd like to face the lion with full stats."

"Of course not." He replied back, rolling his eyes. It didn't matter anyways, the task had been finished. Though he perhaps would like some better items in his inventory from his shop, but he had been lazy and prevented himself from gaining anything. All those dusty ingredients called "Materials", apparently there was a shortage of them in Aincrad as well. With the healing done, he felt his palms burning a small amount. Perhaps the healing transfer was a bit too effective. The suggestion of resting sounded like a lovely idea, and an invitation to rest his more or less tired legs on the ground was tempting. Despite some internal doubts about trusting this woman, his instincts told him to just go along with it. So he took his seat with his legs laid out, palms pressed against the ground. "Yeah. They seemed more of a bother, as long as we're careful, they will be nothing more than that." Sey commented, shifting his eyes to the side to look to his quest partner temporarily. "I won't get drunk this round, so my damage output will be lowered a noticeable amount. Fair warning."

[Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0]

He seemed to have... cleared his head. Or at least that was the impression the blonde got from him as she followed his actions. Letting out a small sigh while closing her eyes, she turned her head back and gazed at the skies. But all she could see was the large bottom of the next floor, luckily it was a already cleared floor but the thought that the view on the front line floors was the same as this one... annoyed the blonde, having a large visible frown appearing on her expression. Seeing her energy tick to max a little after Sey finished his 'fair warning' she materialized her massive spear and used it as support to get up.

"I think I can handle the damage department, you just try to finish them as we did until now. If needed I'll switch from AoE to Target combo Sword Arts. Will take a little more but that way I can focus all the damage." She patted her black skirt and adjusted the side split, as always, so that it revealed just enough and focused on the grassy horizon. "Seems like the main attraction found his way to us." she muttered with a smile as in the distance, a majestic lion with its mane flaming in the sun made his presence known via a loud dominant roar.

Hey, if she had all of the damage covered, fine by him. Her battle plan was to let him finish things off, she will cover most of the damage and even cover things with AoE attacks should that be needed. Sey can cherry pick them off one at a time without a problem, and nothing in her planned seemed ridiculous. Ariel's ideas and methods were questionable previously, but there was nothing to be questioned about this simple plan. Perhaps less really was more after all. Nodding his head, he would raise his spear up as the "main attraction" seemed to notice two pieces of meat. Why else would it emit such a loud roar? "I like the plan." He replied as his last bar of energy would return back into his energy tank. Now he was ready for battle. Should the lionesses get in the way again, his role would be to take them down while Ariel handled the lions. "I'll follow up behind you. If company arrives from the sides, I'll mow them down."

<<Energy Restored>>

[Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0]

"Okay hot shot, break time is over." She then summoned her weapon and eyed the lion, which has gained three partners to the side. "Looks like he will attack us directly while the gals will flank us." she muttered as she took a few steps forward, preparing her weapon to try and deflect their initial assault. For a second, she wonder if she would be better off using the parry skill but that as that would only remove her ability to counterattack.. she decided to take their attack head on. "Here they come!" she said more to herself as she tighten the grip on her massive two handed spear. She had to admit that she didn't quite put herself in the best position considering the bleeding these creatures seem to inflict on her. Once again she cursed herself for not bringing the bloodclot reward she got a while back from the easter event.

Ariel rushed into the danger without giving it a second thought, though not using the best spacing. So of course, he should learn from her mistake and nail at least one of the lionesses monsters with his attack. As he charged forward, his spear let out a glow from the tip again, a surge of energy being eaten from the bar that it belonged to, and finally... Nothing. Dead air, the spear would bite the dust as the enemy would gently leap to the side. It didn't attack him in response, but it saw the danger and narrowly avoided it. Smart move, Sey was going to play safe for now and head back. To gain too much hate was a bad idea. As he stepped back slowly, he held his spear behind him, his left palm open and ready to point towards the blonde in case she gets severely cut up. If the lionesses were able to threaten her life, the boss monster added onto it could potentially end it.

It seemed that both the blonde and her white haired partner both had a hard time starting to damage the lion group. Luckily, them also didn't manage to inflict any major hits on them. Sey avoiding the direct attack of the lioness he assaulted while Ariel managed to evade the other females. Unluckily for them however, the male seemed to be a bit smarted and took note of the two handed pear user's moment of inattention and managed to successfully swing its claws at her, dealing a decent amount of damage. 

The blonde cursed under her breath as it grazed her, almost instantly a bleeding icon made its way next to her health bar. "Don't think you've won yet!" she roared and activated her most powerful AoE sword art, taking advantage of her close proximity with the pack. With her weapon stretched horizontally, she performed a full 360º spin; managing to deal a generous amount of damage and stun, thanks to her Charge and Ferocity mods, all her opponents. "Get'em!" she shouted as she turned her head towards Sey. Surely he wouldn't miss a inmoble target. As soon as she would recover her stance she would do the same.

Get em all! Of course not, the food within him would force his stomach to churn a small amount, but increasingly grow in pain. Struggling to rush forward, he would stop for a moment and hold onto his stomach with his free hand... The effects of the damn game, he needed to get something healthy to eat. But it was too late for that, he was in combat right now, the game just sent a surge of pain to warn him of his hunger. Breakfast was the most important meal of the day, but this game took that rule one step too far. He then took a stab at the lions, but missed due to his hunger pang. "Damn you, Kayaba..." He cursed under his breath with spite as he stumbled back, he couldn't take shots at paralyzed enemies, there was no hope for him currently it appears. At least the pain was slowly numbing itself back to a normal state, but that might not last long.

(Its been 87 years.... how does this even work?)

After a momentary pause in her actions, that seemed to least ages, the blonde decided to only click her tongue at her fighting partner's 'achievements'. "Pull yourself together or you'll end up cat food!" she shouted in hopes to draw their foes' attention. Lucky enough the stun effect still persisted and she would have a chance to strike them once again. Drawing with her weapon a dark colored arc to her side, she prepared to engage her prey without hesitation however, she couldn't just let Sey get hurt even after her light threat towards him earlier. Returning to a more defensive stance, she took the opportunity and placed herself between the inmoble felines and him. "you okay there?" she asked without turning towards him. The Lion had just unleashed a powerful roar that seemed to reinvigorate him and his mates. Ariel could not help but sigh as her window of opportunity was now closed. "This might take a while..." she muttered with some degree of resignation in her tone.

(It's been so long. Level 41 one with this build... Reeeeeeeeeee)

Ariel seemed to focus on him more than her own target, warning him that he would be food for these lions with this behavior. And in turn, she missed her opportunity to inflict damage on the one that possesses the most threat. "Cat food? I doubt I'd taste that delicious." Sey replied with little care, but he then spun his spear over his head before positioning himself in his battle stance yet again. Those purple eyes of his locked onto the enemies yet again, this time ready to strike down onto the lionesses. With this, he seemingly blurred for the moment before slamming the side of his spear towards his enemies. Seems like the hunger pangs couldn't hold him down for too long, though that meant it went into starvation mode. Well, at least he will get skinnier... If he had any excess fat in the first place. Regardless, he made sure to give every single target a hard kiss to the face with the blunt end of his spear before returning back approximately 3 meters from Ariel. "I think I have my touch yet again."

(ikr?)
Gritting her teeth, the blonde decided to go full aggro on the lion pack, with a growl summoned from the depths of her lungs she began running towards her foes. Spear pointing forwards she positioned herself in their midst, once there she released a almost animal shout(roar?) as she spun her long spear 360º around her, hitting every one of the lions with various degrees of success. Her silver eyes filled now with primal fiery passion, she took the incoming retaliation by herself. First was the pack's leader, the imposing lion launch himself upon her. Too big for her to try to completely evade, she tried to parry his fangs with her spear but to no avail. A large slash animation colored her right shoulder ah he fell on top of her, trying to bite at her face.
"YAAAAA!" she managed to push him off with raw strength but she felt a sharp throbbing where she'd been hit. Peaking at her health bar, she noticed the bleeding effect renewed yet again.
The rest of the pack followed almost instantly, all three of the lion's mates pounced her at the same time. The blonde threw one off balance by striking her spear at its feet, making it fell before reaching her. She managed to block the 2nd one's attack with her weapon's shaft as the lioness took a bite at her neck. Unfortunately while struggling to free her weapon afterwards, the remaining mob slashed at her shin. The blonde let out frustrated growl and turned her head towards  @Sey
"Finish then!" was all she managed to shout before resuming her attempt to free her weapon.

It looks like all of the hate came to strike back at Ariel, the lions all aggressively pouncing on her with the intent to rip her into a fine-cut plate of steak. Her health was fine despite the tussle she was going through, so little worry went through his mind. One might wonder if he preferred it that way, but she was assisting him with this quest at the end of this. Ariel was the being he preferred to deal with than have his fate be thrown to the lions, and so he will take action by freeing her weapon as well as her in general.

A swift leap into the air was used to mount onto the back of the lioness Ariel tussled with, his spear behind the back of his head. "Duck your head." Sey would explain for the sake of Ariel's safety. And then he swung, the blunt spear being used like a baseball bat directly onto the head of the now-shattered lion. His platform was also taken from him, so he had to drop against the ground with a crouch before standing up again. Hopefully Ariel will do the same, but she was the big girl, she could handle herself. 

The lionesses did not take well to the demise of their fallen sister, recklessly taking aim for him instead. As their reward, he swung down onto the head of the next lioness, shattering her to pieces of data as well. The third one was luckier, for Sey missed the swing via the lioness learning from the previous and ducking. But any strikes she took were null, for her focus thanks to the hate system was on Ariel. So while he could take advantage, he slapped a kiss onto the lion with the spear as well, a reminder that he is not forgotten.

"Mostly did it, you're up Ariel."

"My hero..." said Ariel mockingly as she looked to readjust her stance. "But you missed one!" shouted the blonde as she dodged the remaining lioness' attack. Seeing his mates slain one after another, the lion got enraged and went to attack they executioner. "Tsk" the blonde gritted her teeth and with a shout, meant to distract the lion, used her sprint to outpace the lion. She put herself between it and its prey and blocked it yet again with the shaft of her spear. While the lion was struggling to bite through her weapon the blonde gave thanks that there wasn't any durability stat on it. "One more chance, leave the lion to me and finish its remaining mate @Sey!" with a bloodthirsty grin she then looked the animal in the eyes and said: "Then we can finish him off!"
All this time Kimba was diligently sitting behind then, growling at the attackers but without moving, as order by her master.

How lovely of her to return the favor, now Sey could kill one more lioness in front of the lion without punishment. "Not even a thank you? I'm so hurt." Sey replied with a chuckle before looking back to the one lone lioness, that of whom seemed hesitant to strike. But she did regardless to get back to the lion, and Sey was not going to let that through. The lioness attempted to rush him through the center, only to catch a swift piercing of the spear through the chest. And not just once, for he kept on stabbing through in order to get the full combo through successfully. And to spit the final nail in the coffin, he gave the lioness a kick to the side in order to cause it to shatter into bits and pieces. At the end of that, he would turn over to Ariel to see how she engaged with the lion, looking to step close to her to assist her in the rest of the fight. "The other lion is down, let's finish into this!"

After seeing her combat partner finally dispatching the last lioness, the blonde let out a long sigh and completely focused her attention on the lion. It too, watched as the last of its mates evaporated into tiny digital particles. Breathing in more air that it naturally could, the beast released one more blood freezing howl. The blonde could've swear that she could empathize the animal's sadness through its mourning call. Its eyes gaining a red shade as it buffed only its self this time. 

Again, it attempted to pounce @Sey in attempt to avenge his fallen lovers. "No you don't!" came a mighty call from behind as it attempted to turn her back at the blonde. She'd threw her spear like a javelin that it landed right in front it, one more step and it would've pierced through its head. Having no desire to continue unarmed, Ariel dashed forwards and slid by the lion, narrowly dodging its attempt to claw at her. Or so she thought, until a prickling sensation came from her left side accompanied by 3 red slash marks. 

The blonde let out curse and adjusted her stance. "I probably won't finish it even with this sword art, look for a opening and send it to its mates."  then looking at the lion straight in the eyes, she continued "He's suffered enough. Let's put him out of his misery!" a savage grin marked her features almost mirroring her prey, which focused on her. Yet again, the two jumped at each other's throats with clear intent to see the other dead.
