[PP:F7:NK:Complete] Continuation [Beat, Shield, Soredell]

[Anemone 0]

Anemone patted her legs and double checked her satchel and nodded to the rest of the group. It was time to prepare and to move onto the road ahead. With her back facing the cold southern draft, the woman flicked her hair and narrowed her eyes on the steady beam of light that trickled underneath the door, "Whatever happens, I am not going to let anything happen to any of you. I feel we are all in great hands here." The woman had said, a light smile on her face continued to stain her lips as she pressed her arms to the back of her body and brought her fingers weaved together. Standing behind the others, she exhaled slowly. She could do this no problem, no problem at all. It would be just another walk in the park...With the help of Soredell, Beat and Shield, they had made their way through this dungeon with the greatest of ease and with no ill threat against them. But how would the boss battle go down in the next room. She stood there looking down at the ground and chewing on her bottom lip as her white teeth gnashed against her lip. When she lifted her head up it looked like they had wandered right into the room.

"Here we go..."

The party set about psyching one another up. This had never been his strong suit. His second in command in his old Crossreign guild had been better equipped to handle matters of morale. Rumors occasionally filtered up of this yin-and-yang approach to guild governance. Some said that having a stoic leader was comforting, and that is came across as confidence. Others thought he came across as cold and uncaring of his guild. Really, he was just more concerned with the numbers. Beat had really been the only X-factor in their old guild struggles. He was unpredictable and overconfident. Sometimes that played to his advantage. Sometimes it proved too confounding of a variable to deal with. Right now, the combination of both styles seemed to have more advantage than disadvantage.

He had not picked the seventh floor by accident. The information brokers who had informed him of the machinations of dungeons and their bosses had led him to believe that the final battle would be no real struggle. He was not worried in the slightest, therefore he did not feel the need to take part in the morale boosting. Not that he likely would have known how to do so. He remembered a story of a general who was competent, but who could not inspire his troops. When told to address them, he merely shuffled around and saluted them in relative silence. Needless to say, it did little to inspire courage. He liked to think he was better than that general, but it wasn't for him to decide.

As the door swung out and opened up, he strode forward, his shoulders back and his head held high as his dark eyes stared back into the equally dark room. The unfinished stone gave way to ornately carved designs. As soon as his booted foot crossed the first, a dozen pale blue crystals lit, shedding a soft, even glow around the room to illuminate the space. In the center of the room stood a statue carved of the same crystalline material, its body faceted and sturdy. The only parts of it that lit up, however, were its eyes. As Shield drew nearer, its body lurched to life, and its head whipped around to glare at him.

Show time.

Throwing his shoulders back to open up his lungs, Shield pulled in as much air as they could hold before propelling the contents at the final foe.

"You're the last one!" he called, his voice echoing off of the stone walls around them. "Prepare to join your minions in digital oblivion!"

Even despite the sound and the force of the wind, the air had nothing to catch upon as it glided around the smoothly angled surfaces of the creature's dense body. In response to the call, the great, pale blue eyes narrowed, and with one long stride, it closed the distance, sweeping a wide hay maker with its arm. It struck his shielf, and he was pushed back, his boots dragging along the floor, but after ten feet, he came to a stop, glaring up at the juggernaut.

"You didn't take damage," he said aloud, his eyes searching the boss' pristine health bar. "That means you crit. And yet you accomplished nothing. If you're capable of it, I'd start worrying about now. Beat!" he called behind him. "You're up!"

Beat's eyes opened wide as the gigantic room illuminated to reveal an impressive looking statue. The gemstone that it was made of likely had no value in the world they were all trapped in, but it was still beautiful to admire. His admiration diminished somewhat as the being turned on the party's tank and Beat balled up his left fist, infusing it with power as he looked into the eyes of their final challenge. 

"Well, you look valuable and you are a wonder to look at, but if you're not going to play nice, I'll just have to see which is harder; my fist or your body..." He said, looking from his fist to the boss with a grin on his face before taking off towards the statue at blinding speed. 

"EEEEEYAAAAH!!!" 

Beat yelled with vigor and excitement as the thrill of their second dungeon boss infused his body with energy. He fist crashed into the right cheek of the statue, tossing the large piece of artwork over and causing it to fall down with a loud crash against the softer ground.

Soredell took one last deep breath as the doors into the boss room swung open, almost pulling the players in. Soredell follows the others into the final room as the doors close behind them. Soredell has to squint to try and look for the boss in this dark room, whatever it may be. But only through Shield triggering the boss does he see what they're up against, a giant crystal golem. It certainly looks to be a formidable foe, but it is nothing against Beat's attack, with a single kick knocking down close to half of its health already. This was supposed to be a final boss? It looked more like another mob that they group had faced on their way here. Needless to say, Soredell was slightly disappointed at this dungeon boss. No matter, it just made their lives easier in the end. "You aren't so tough you big overrated hunk of crystal. Lets see how you take this!" he yells out as he unleashes his best available sword skill on the mob: Gen Getsu. It does a little less damage than expected, but considering this was a dungeon boss, he figured that there would be some challenge for him. Either way, he'd knocked the boss' health past the half way mark. Another hit or two would mean the end of this boss.

Already down half life, the Diamond Juggernaut did not seem to take to the bashings well. Flecks of its metallic surface dusted off, sending particles into the digital oblivion as their sword arts ransacked the creature's body. Anemone had stood to the far back of the room keeping a watchful eye on the player's hit point bar. There was not much to do at this point, so she would be foregoing her healing ability for the round. Red eyes rolled over the surface of the floor and back to the others as they assaulted the Juggernaut in formation. The glowing light of their attacks bringing luminous to the area as she saw a small crack in the wall. Every strike against the Boss seemed to show more wear and tear on the wall, more then likely that was going to be their way out of this crazy dungeon. So far there had been no misgivings in this dungeon, everyone played their part to what was needed, except Anemone, but her part was to find the dungeon and allow them to conquer it. That was pretty much her use as of right now.

"Well, this has turned into a rather productive day."

With the last foe already down below half health and already beginning to bleed, the fight already seemed in hand. The worst of his job was already over, and it was only a matter of swings before it would be done completely.

Well, if that's the case, no harm in getting in a swipe myself.

Tucking his body down into a low crouch, Shield launched himself forward, darting around to the side of the great glittering foe, bringing his axe down into what would have been its Achilles tendon.  A few chips of crystalline material fell away, but its health was otherwise unharmed.

At least I got one last hit in...

The juggernaut turned to face him, the object of its ire. With the force of a truck, the great being's fist swung at him, colliding with his head and sending him sliding again, even further than the last hit, but like the boss, his own health was unaffected.

"Strike two," he said, glaring up at its face.

"Now then, let's make it rain diamonds!" Beat said, grinning and cracking his knuckles menacingly as he casually approached the Diamond Juggernaut who had its hands full with the party's tank. He quickly took off into a run towards his target and leaped through the air, pulling his left arm back as his glowed with power, ready to deliver the final blow. 

"This dungeon delve iiiiissss over!" Beat shouted, executing his attack, the force his his blow reverberating throughout the boss room as collided with the solid, animated diamond statue. 

"Okay, What?" Beat said, irritated, quickly noticing how the bosses health bar had not gone down in the slightest, not to mention the that being had not even moved as a result of Beat's strike. The statue made a quick swipe towards Beat, which he avoided staring at the point of impact seeing a sort of sword art effect fading from the are. 

"Did it absorb my attack?!" He said incredulously as the statue returned its attention to Shield.

Soredell watches as everyone else makes their own respective actions against the <<Diamond Juggernaut>>, confidence growing as its health bar continues to drop closer and closer to 0, dropping to about 35%. He watches as Beat makes yet another swing at the crystalline body if the golem, confident it'll mean the end of this boss, and the end of this dungeon crawl, but to who surprise, and despite the force and power of his swing, it does nothing. Its body and health bar remain unmoved. "Alright, try this!" he hisses as he charges the golem and makes a slash at its legs in an attempt to bring its body and health down. Looking back, he sees that like before, the body and the HP gauge remain unmoved, the golem seemingly absorbing all of their attacks. "I thought this was going to be easy! We should've done something to it!" he cries out to the others.

"Oh dear!" There was a colossal smash with Beat coming in to take down the remaining chunks of health towards the juggernaut, however, it seemed the creature was able to absorb his attack entirely. With it's body hardened by the diamond like crystals over its body, despite nearly being dropped to zero, the creature was showing some resilience towards the last leg of the attacks. It had retorted with it's fist pounding against its crystalline chest. Anemone pinched her dark brows into creases from over her forehead as she tugged on the sleeve of her uniform, "It looks like it might be doing a special attack!" or it could have just been one of those 'come and get me gestures', she was not too familiar with how bosses worked in the game when it came to special attacks and with its health nearly depleted, she didn't know what kind of bag of tricks it had in store for them.

Taking several steps back, there was nothing more she could do but give her team the encouragement to continue.

The Juggernat continued to bleed out, but other than that, it had sustained next to no damage since the initial clash. Shield grit his teeth, knowing that despite being so close to its red health bar, the boss was going to take next to no damage from him. He resigned himself to standing behind his shield and bracing himself for what was to come.

The juggernaut roared, its vocal cords sounding more like stones in an avalanche than an actual voice. Still, it left him very little time to contemplate the sound before hammering fists began haling down on him. He ducked in behind his protective shield, watching carefully as the boss' health refused to drop further.

"This thing is either immune to my thorns, or it keeps landing nothing but critical blows against me," he growled to the others, glaring at the defiant health bar. "Beat, can you please put all of us out of our misery?"

Beat eyed the boss of the dungeon as it continued to assault Shield. He knew that his friend was in no real danger, so he found it relatively easy to settle his nerves as study his target. The creature's size and reach made staying too close hazardous and it had a good range of vision. However, it did have one defining weakness. 

It's size makes it slow to turn about. That range of vision is nice, but if one can move in and out of that range, I'm betting it won't be able to defend itself like it did last time. 

"Alright! Shield! You keep it occupied while I attack. I don't want it pulling off any weird defenses like it did last time." He said to the tank before charging in at half speed. Once he got close, the statue managed to direct its attention to him. 

Perfect...

Beat smirked as he juked right and then immediately moved at full speed the opposite direction and quickly leaped high into the air. THe creature looked confused as Beat left its field of vision long enough to evade detection. Beat soared high above the monolith as he came down with his strongest sword art, which crashed through the top the being's head, shattering it and depleting the statue's lifebar. 

"Finally!" He said, dusting his hands off and eagerly awaiting the loot screen.
