[BR-F25] Paving the Way to Floor 26 [Shadow, the Malevolent]

[Itzal 0]

So the shadow actually attacked someone now. If he had dealt a serious blow to a player and not an NPC, it might have actually been a bit intimidating. But as it stood, he was basically 'redefeating' the same dude, and not even that well either. "You sure are a master of disappointment." Itzal commented. With two quick swipes of his wrist he opened his battle inventory and pulled out one of the songs he'd crafted for this specific moment. Taking the song he simply titled 'Shielding III', he poised his body to throw it as if it were a baseball and launched it at the Shadow. A neat function he was able to do with the song crystals he crafted was set it so that it could either replace a song with his own, or loop another song so that it would last for the entire battle. He chose the latter in this case, and so the song that started this boss fight would continue to play. Then he took his battle stance before activating the charge skill. With two leaps he maneuvered around Orgoth before making a third jump upwards, stabbing his blade into the Shadow before landing on his feet behind the boss and circling back towards his party. Once he reached them he took his stance again. "Didn't manage to land any DoTs this time around, but hopefully my luck changes soon."

As the short lived battle between the nightmarish shadowlings and the players came to an end, the chamber they fought in became eerily still. The thin layer of dark, water like shadow that created walls around them stood undisturbed, no ripples or distortions to tell it apart from a perfectly polished wall. Jomei stood, clenching his rapier as Orgoth rose, now back to his own senses, and addressed the Shadow. The entity, who seemed to desperate to win just moments earlier, stood silently. 

In a moments notice, eyes seemed to open within the shadow all around them, unknown figures looking upon the players who have gotten this far. Jomei's own eyes searched the room, only to be met with an unsettling gaze back in his direction. Orgoth, suddenly, was suspended in the air by inky black tendrils that grew from the murky shadows.. and soon enough, those same tendrils tuned on all the players.

"This guy doesn't know when to quit.." Jomei said as he ducked under a wildly swinging appendage. Growling to himself, the ginger's eyes scanned through the raging storm of shadow, looking for their target. With the assistance of his Concentration skill, he was able to lock onto the Shadowy figure. Jomei's rapier ignited in a golden light as he took off running towards the Shadow, bobbing and weaving out of the way of whipping tentacles of black. Finally, bursting from the storm, Jomei leapt towards their target, landing a solid hit on them. "This is where we end you, for everyone's sake." Jomei growled as he pressed his rapier deep into the Shadowy figure, before pulling back.

“You all wanted to play?  Fine.  Let’s play.  One.  Last.  Time.”

"No. We are done with games."

The game had finally shifted in the direction that favored her once again. Instead of being surrounded by countless Shadows, the real enemy had finally shown itself. Shifting her grasp on the the silvery-white bladed dagger in her hands, violet eyes trained on the figure of the shadow. A voice, heard somewhere else, caught her attention. 

 "If I make an opening can you use it?"

Her eyes met The Wanderer's and a silent nod was offered in exchange to his words. She braced herself, catching sight of the background that surrounded the battlefield. Hundreds of smiles stared at the players, seeming joyful as they awaited their demise. A smile would be cast back at them. 

"If there is anything I'm afraid of... It isn't the shadows." she whispered. Raidou's howl ripped forward, sending a cold energy down her spine. Darting forward, she targeted the foe's backside, taking advantage of his distracted state, she would slip her dagger into his neck. 

"You aren't in control anymore." she told the Shadow, pulling the weapon away from his figure. Leaping away, she strayed away from the danger area, allowing the others to take the brute force of the damage. 

She still held many questions about the boss, and new ones had begun to arise. Could he even be killed? If he was actually the culmination of the Shadows in Aincrad, it would stand to reason that they couldn't actually completely kill him. Now, it wouldn't be impossible to defeat him, but could they actually erase him from the game?

[Morgenstern 1]

Through their combined efforts, the numerous shadows had finally been brought down, revealing their final target. He washed down a gulp of fear upon seeing the Shadow once again. He essentially had turned the Raid Group into his toys. Even with the help of Orgoth, they hadn't stood a chance last time. However, he couldn't allow the fear to cloud his own judgement. As soon as he faltered, those that stood beside him would be at an even greater risk. He couldn't allow them to fall. 

Activating his <<Charge>> skill, he shot forward towards the Shadow, striking with one clean strike. The blade met its mark, creating a gash along the chest of his opponent. While the damage wouldn't amount to much, it would still contribute to the death of the Boss. He fell back a few feet, sending a gaze to Yuki. Could she take his hits? Could the rest of the party take his hits? What if The Shadow started to pull his mass AoE attack? Could they manage to survive it if he attempted it? Or was he too drained to use an attack like that now?

Post Action: Sharpness > Baldur [-12 EN]

Great. So now we get to fight Selim Bradley. No idea how this kind of enemy is going to attack...

Raidou jumped in to take main hate. Shield was taken aback for a moment. He had requested first go, but he wasn't going to rock the boat. They had committed to a plan of action now, and until the tides turned against them, they were going to stick to it. On his other side, he heard Baldur call out to him. He gave a nod and a swift swing of his axe arm.

From the end of the axe's head, an orb of red light burst forth, arcing through the air and striking his ally on the chest. The pale crimson dissipated in a wave of light over his body, enhancing the attack stat whose buff had just ended.

Might not be able to help NIGHT much with her damage, but when it comes to our guaranteed damage, we might as well keep that as high as we can!

Returning to his defensive position, Shield posted up for the time being, keeping his eyes moving around the battlefield. Being surrounded was nothing new. Still, given how hard phase 1 of the fight had hit, this was only going to be worse.

Listen for the switch...

"Play? one last time?"

 Crozeph wasn't sure if it was still part of the taunts getting thrown at them. So far no casualties, everyone still has their healing items in good amount. He was an idiot to actually waste a few energy casting skills, a sign that he wasn't paying that much attention to the flow of battle. 

Enough of the self-blaming...

After attacking the shadows, Crozeph jumped back behind Yuki letting the others deal with the remaining shadows. It was good progress and their stats are still far from reaching the danger zone and then it happened...

Shadow showed himself, flung Orgoth as if he was some kind of boomerang that shouldn't return, grow out tendrils, and add more lovecraftian descriptions to his reveal. The clang was annoying, quite fitting how annoying the boss was consistently. Crozeph wasn't a fan of it, the more monstrosity shown, the less humane methods should be. Normallly he would spring into action and eagerly chop off tendrils and limbs, rip and tear as much as he can. That's easy, if he wasn't part of a team. 

He grabbed the cloth that covers the blade of his katana wrapped it on his hand as it held the hilt and tightened it "you wanna play? unfortunately I'm no fun at parties..." his hand that held and tightened the cloth began glowing, an insiginia appears at the back of his hand, and soon enough his energy recovers "let's see who gets to keep up with all the damage dealing and healing, don't disappoint" he muttered.

“Offer accepted.”

Likewise.

A forest of obsidian tendrils dashed out from the earth all about them, but Bahr paid them no heed. Those crimson eyes were focused on a single entity, the object of all of his ire. Had this charlatan truly snuffed out the rest of Aincrad, including those he loved, then Bahr would spend every last waking moment ensuring that it met the same fate at his hands. There was no longer any resting, nor a place to rest - unless it were Bahr's blade in the stomach of this heinous creature.

When Dawn's Demise carved through the seemingly ethereal entity, a sliver of health was vanquished from its several health bars. Those scarlet orbs, gleaming in the darkness, bored holes through the monster. Had it any inclination toward fear, right about now was the time it would start feeling it crawling up its spine.

Had it no such proclivity, it were a fool.

With the full shadowy form of the boss now visible and tangible, it seemed a moment of opportunity came for everyone rush and take their actions as a single unit. The bluenette felt a smirk come across his face for a moment, "I made the right call, it was a single target. Good, that means if things change I've got Quick Change at the ready."

Slamming his fists together the Ultramarine Knight looked forward at the malevolence now storming on front of them, "About time, no more puppeteering or minions. Time to take your licks directly."

His right fist burned bright blue with his Sword Art energy, <<All Might>> forming and solidifying like a bright torch flame as Calrex streaked through the darkness, his body being taken over by the assisted system as <<Charge>> kicked into gear. His form shot forward before like a streak of light before stopping in front of the boss' form, arm drawn back. With a fierce rotation his fist slammed into the right side of whatever part of the form was considered the face.

Backpedaling a few steps he gave a calming exhale, "The real question is gonna be how to respond once this thing makes its next move..."

The struggle of forcing out the remaining shadowlings relied on her team. No matter how much it felt like they were dishing the damage, it seemed hopeless, until the tiny shadows dissipated and the true enemy finally showed himself. Orgoth was launched meters beyond what any other being could hope to toss the hulking minotar. Yuki simply hardened her expression. Orgoth was a warrior, fully capable of taking a hit even when he was brought to his knee. If she had healing abilities, she might have tried.

Meanwhile, she needed to add to the damage being put out. "You've finally decided to show yourself. Do you intend to show us a magic trick? At this rate, I'm convinced that you're nothing but a terrible entertainer showing off a bunch of bad tricks. You will fall and we will be one step closer to getting out of this game."

The white-golden lance shined an extremely bright pink as Yuki jumped in to devastate the Shadow with a single thrusting attack, yet her skills as a tank didn't do much to help her skill as a dps. She came shy of hitting the shadow. It was clear that she still needed more practice with a heavier weapon.

The reckoning began. The spell that controlled Minotaur had been undone causing a massive shift in the balance of the fight. One could debate on whether that it was bad or good. The unfolding events mattered not. It was the echo of his brethren’s orders that decided his stance. The words were absolute to smash in the defenses as he seemed to lower himself in a running stance. Raidou made it clear that it was time to initiate combat once more.

He felt electricity crackle through his body as he stored up the latent energy into his legs to his upper arms. The sword art was beginning as he let out a soft and slow breath. The truth was that when Raidou commanded something, Kiluia had one hundred precent faith in his words.

A dust cloud kicked up as he ran toward the man who had uttered the words of disruption to them. One last time was correct. This would be one last time they would see each other if he could contribute into the downfall of this rotten and foul creature. While the others began to bombard their weapons, he took the opportunity to ride the wall. Footsteps quickened until one final crushing stomp the chamber came. He went flying into the air before coming crashing down toward the darkened one. Shadow or not, it was able to feel pain and could be touched. Both hands clenched together in a hammer first as he made impact onto the shadow.

Not wanting to stick around for the aftermath, he followed himself with a kick off from the shadow. That was still impactful as he managed to land relatively close to Raidou and Haine. “Let’s keep the pressure up.”

One would feel great after landing a hit on the boss. However, his hands shook from the immediate shock of striking the shadow and its hard body. Despite it having a physical body, it felt like he had attempted to crush a three foot thick steel door. "That's a bit rough."

This was it, the moment she'd been anticipating. Her energy was slowly dwindling, a little close for comfort. Every bit was to be rationed wisely if she'd make it out of this in one piece. As her squad regrouped, she drew in a jagged breath. She sensed an inkling of her nerves crawling back as she stared straight at Orgoth in all his menacing might. In his deteriorated state, he wouldn't be the one throwing the punches. Yet. A thick fog manifested itself into a larger shadowy figure, just ahead of the minotaur. She squared her shoulders and squeezed the shiny new glaive in her possession. It was of remarkable caliber, exactly what she'd need to perform her best.

Haine thumbed the grooves of the hilt and fixed her attention on Raidou. His brief motivational speech was enough inspiration as she looked amongst the field. He was right, this was just the beginning. Being amongst close friends and comrades instilled her with resolve, knowing she wasn't alone in this. Come what may, she was prepared to match the opponent's vigor. A quick rundown of strategy and she was prepared to strike, this time on the forefront. "Roger that, Cap!" Haine confirmed, with a swing of her blade.

With a crisp swish of her glaive, she slivered at the shadow's form. It's wispy form concealed a wall of steel as her sword skimmed its surface. Just what was this freakish, tendril-y monster made of? She gulped and withdrew her glaive. An awkward start to the foray, but she had time to recover. She retreated a safe distance and searched for a blind spot.

"Yeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!" cheered the blonde, her weapon held high as Orgoth spoke to them in his normal tone. The fatigue seemed to fade as she saw his massive health bar join the raid groups. "We're returning the favor. Now you have to see this through with us." she replied next to the minotaur. "Show us why they build you a statue in the center of the village!" she added with excitement as she watched him get back on his feet and tower over all players. The blonde would silently curse as Shadow would try to bind the minotaur once again. However this time, he fought back and retaliated.

The blonde tightened her grip and changed her items once more. She recognize that form from before, the bug finally revealed himself. Raidou decided to take it's hate and give them an opening, she raised her spear in form of a silent reply.  Not missing the opportunity she charges towards Shadow and takes the left flank, vanishing behind then final boss and delivering her most powerful sword art.

Look at you, simply staring at the slithering shadows as they dance a maddening waltz, pirouettes and elancers. And look at the others. Fighting. Always fighting. For themselves. For each other. the one thread that you had, you fooled yourself into thinking people actually needed you. They don't.

No one does.

Mari exhaled, she felt goosebumps burst upon the skin of her arms as she strengthened her grip on the spear that she had been holding loosely. Somewhere along the way, amongst the clashes of blade against mist - amongst the crying tantrums of a shadow-child. She had lost focus. She had become something she disliked. Normally, Mari would hate someone who stood there and did nothing in the heat of battle, but now. More than ever - she began to understand why people did that - why their minds wandered. lately...she struggled to focus on anything. Even this battle. Where everyone was so passionate, fighting and giving their all. She just....didn't feel anything that apathy still clung to her. Like a viral infection it sunk deep into her skin and took over.

No words came from her as her grip tightened and Mari shifted her position- her feet moved forward one step in front of the other as she broke out into a run. Activate the charge skill first. It felt like her footstephs echoed, thrumming in her head and shaking her skull.

I wanted more than this life but I have Destroyed my dreams long ago with the fire of my own hatred and anger

The tip of her blade dragged across the ground- bouncing up off of rocks - smatterings of light expelling from the hyperdermic needle that Shield had made her. Closer, and closer she drew to the shadowman. He really was nothing more than a child throwing a tantrum. Mari stopped just short of him and thrust her weapon forward - it felt like she had just dipped it into a pool of custard, or jello. There was little to no resistence as she shucked it out and in quick sucession stabbed him again and again - in complete silence. 

Blue eyes, stone-cold empty. Apathetic. Mari wasn't looking down on the boss, rather, she had no feelings for him, no, it. One way or the other. She finished her attack with a twirl and strike from above. Mari flicked the shadowy muck from her weapon as he turned her back on the boss. Her eyes briefly checked the health of the others in her group. All were near full. They'd not need a crystal right now.

Am I okay?

So, the final shadowling was defeated, the party was everyone at full health, Zandra had buffed up her energy regeneration to be able to keep fighting for longer. Still there was no vistory sign. That was when the big minotaur rose again. Zandra raised an eye, looking at his big muscles. But only for a moment, because something else got her attention. The final boss had finally decided to appear and engage them himself. With a evil smile she ignored any kind of defence or protection. With her full focus on the enemy infront of her. ‘’Hi, we meet again Shadow dude. Do you remember me? Let’s see if you are invulnerable this time as well!’’ And with that, she released her explode catapult, the strongest sword art in her arsenal, and sent it down on the floor boss. After her attack was executed, she took a few steps back to see the result of her attack.

[The Shadow 3]

With a small groan, Orgoth heaved himself back into a standing position. His mind remained as sharp as ever, and that had allowed him to hack at the tendrils holding him. Unfortunately, the surprised trip around the room had battered his still-healing body. Rolling his shoulders, he turned his attention back to the battle, and found himself stunned by what he saw there. Combatants soared like multi-colored birds of prey, a rainbow of destruction with the Shadow at its center. Amid the various emotions roiling within the minotaur, a new sense of pride rose to the surface. While he could not pretend to understand their motivations, these guardians fought with a fervor that he had to admire.

“Keep pushing, comrades!” he bellowed, lifting twin axes to accent his words. “He will fall, as long as we do not give up.”

Despite the attacks that continued to rain down like hellfire, the Shadow whipped around to face Orgoth. He thrust his hands forward, fingers splayed, and sent out another wave of tendrils. They exploded out in all directions, shoving the nearest Players back like a bomb. “If you keep spouting that inspirational nonsense,” the boss sneered, “I'm going to be sick.” 

The behemoths clashed with the force of opposing tidal waves. Shadows shaped like weapons met the hard steel edges of the real-deal, sending a resounding clang through the room. As he fought, the outline of Shadow’s form began to pulse slightly, absorbing the debuffs that had been cast upon him. Yet even as a smile began to twist the Shadow’s expression, Orgoth landed a bone-rattling hit with both axes, and sent the spectre stumbling backward.

An animalistic snarl left him as the Shadow, thrust out of the immediate action, suddenly became aware of the Players' taunts. Despite putting up with the trashtalk for the entire fight, and adding some of his own, it was beginning to wear on him. With a huff, and another wave of his hands, four new creatures entered the fray. These were beings born straight from nightmares, a freakishly human-like torso scrambling about on far too many spindly arms and legs. Though formed entirely of shadow, the sounds of their gnashing teeth and slurping tongues were very real. For a moment, they simply scurried across the floor like some Lovecraftian cockroach. Then, without warning, they sprang.

Slender arms and legs encircled the small woman and the snowy-haired swordsman. The Shadow Horrors drew their victims close in an eerie embrace, long fingers grabbing for loose fabric and gaps in armor. Their skin, cold and damp, emitted the same slightly sulfurous odor as their gaping mouths. As saliva streamed from between razor-sharp teeth, the monsters began to feast on Hidden and Kiluia's necks.

[Raidou 1]

"Kiluia fall back" Raidou barked to his ally, wanting him to disengage and wait for an opening again. Else he would draw too much ire and overextend. Raidou corrects his lenses and pivots his blade. He had that dead locked stare on the largest in the room, another pump of that miasma from his back. It bled out in waves, finding the floor like dry ice and crawling throughout the place. His trust fell on Shield, he could not take both. His defense was isolated to one target, an active bulwark that had to be moved unlike a shield. A blade could only be at one place, and it was reflex that created that defense.

A glance to Hidden and to Ariel, then looks to Orgoth, the titan held in a power struggle. A slide and a rather obvious feint breaks the beast loose from the girl. "You alright?" he looks her over, she took a hit, but she wouldn't accept his help. "I think this is our opportunity." his eyes shift to shadow, lifting and manhandling the blade up. "Guess it's got some fascination with Orgoth. I can understand its disdain for losing. It seems that he doesn't realize we are a threat. You think you can solve that problem?"

Raidou takes no action

[Hidden 1]

Together along with Orgoth, the raid team managed to take out almost a fifth of the Boss's HP, causing one of his bars to nearly empty. It would seem that the boss wasn't that much afterall, especially with the bull taking the hits. However, something unexpected came to pass. As the Shadow waved his hand, a dark grotesque creature formed in front of them. The creature was repulsive, especially the way it scuttled across the battlefield. It scuttled over to her party, and she watched as it seemed to freeze for a second.

"Creepy." She said, before her turning attention away.

She watched as another burst of Shadow's tendrils shot forward into Orgoth and striking all around him. She squinted as a wave of air rushed over her from the mere force of the attack. 'Wish I could use the Shadows like that.' she thought for a moment. The Shadow's tendrils appeared to not only physically attacking the bull, but also slightly tearing at its own shadow. As if its attacks had the ability to separate the creature's essence from its body. A grotesque squish was heard to her left.

But it was far too late to notice. The creature from earlier latched onto her, its cold and clammy body latching onto hers. Hidden was immediately incapacitated as a sulfurous stench met her nostrils. The creature's many hands grasped at her legs and shoulders. For a moment, fear overtook her as the creature's clammy hands squeezed hard enough to start dealing damage, its gaping mouth starting to fear on the exposed area of her neck. 

"umbra Umbra UMBRA!" she said in increasingly higher volume. The Shadow Fox quickly materialized and began to detach the creature from Hidden, slicing off its many arms that would surely enough grow back. A flash of red slammed into the creature, knocking it away from her. 

Facing The Red Wanderer, he would speak to her in a casual tone. "You alright?" Taking a breath, she would nod and although it was shaky she managed to say, "Of course." she looked to the grotesque creature which now began to turn its attention on Macradon. "Guess it's got some fascination with Orgoth. I can understand its disdain for losing. It seems that he doesn't realize we are a threat. You think you can solve that problem?" Hidden eyed the boss, saying, "Pretty sure he summoned those things to keep us at bay for a moment." She said in an uninterested tone. 'Not that I worry myself with minions anyway.'  She darted forward, flaying a small potion of the boss's back before returning to her party. This time she kept a watchful eye on the Shadow Horror's.

His attack didn’t have much impact, nor did it really do much for his party as a whole when that shadow spawn tomfoolery arrived out of nowhere, mauling at a target seemingly at random. Macradon didn’t have enough time to actually intercept the attack, and to his detriment, Hidden was hit by the shadowy beast. “Shit!” the knight exclaimed, quickly pointing his blad towards the shadow beast “If you need someone to munch on, come and get me!” he roared out and activated his howl, covering both rorschach and the shadow thing. Orgoth was still going strong, delivering heavy blows to the shadow with his axes, the force of which Macradon had never seen before. What also seemed to be going on was a slightly weakened shadow after being smashed by Orgoth like that.

“I’ll try to howl them down, the rest of you go smack them into oblivion! Try to focus down the big bad boi for now, I’ll just keep this weird dog at bay for now! Orgoth’s attack had some effect on the boss, so let’s take advantage of that, how hard can the shadow thing hit?” he called out to his party with a slightly sarcastic tone at the end.

As the shadow spawn struck out at Kuluia, its body gave an involuntary jerk - an impact from behind. Looking back over its shoulder, Shield stood, his brow ridge furrowed into one collective line of stones and crevices, and his axe deep in the creature's back. "If previous rounds are any indicator, this won't be the only one minion we get." He wrenched his weapon free, sending a light spatter of black onto the ground. Though the shadow abomination's health remained practically untouched, Shield's presence was overpowering - and intentionally so. "Leave these to me, Raidou. I kitted myself for mob combat, and you're great for single-target. Two tanks, two healers!"

His dark eyes were steel, locked on the Horror, focused and intent. They flicked over to Raidou, giving him a nod to reassure him. This was the part of the fight he had built himself for.  "All damage goes towards Shadow!" he called out to the party. "Haine, if Rai takes a hit, we both heal! Everyone, crystals at the ready! It's our job to keep main tank up! Any splash healing from crystals will be more than enough for me."

He had grabbed the reins from Raidou, and if necessary, he would ask for forgiveness later, but there was no time to ask for permission.

They say that everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face... but my plan is to get punched in the face. The devs wanted us to choose between damaging the ads or ignoring them, but if we make them inconsequential, then the choice is made for us.

The fight continued to rage on, only getting wilder as Orgoth made his move against his until-recently puppeteer, hitting him hard and even cleaving part of his defenses off. The perfect opportunity for the bluehead to strike. He began to run right towards the titanic shadow, charging for the strongest hit he could muster.

All of a sudden, one of these monsters shows up and begins to attack Hidden, causing Chase to stop dead in his tracks, and with him, stopped all of his built up momentum. Mac ended up howling, and grabbing its attention, before telling them to attack. If it weren't for everybody else running at the boss to beat him down, Chase would join once more, but his sword art had completely failed, interrupted by none other than its wielder. A fail on this attack. He began to move back close to his party, keeping an eye on this hellspawn that the Shadow made emerge. "Are you sure you got that one Mac?"
