Jomei 0 Posted December 21, 2020 Author #21 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) The Night King grunted, its voice sounding larger than the form itself as it echoed throughout the chamber. Opening itself up, the hulking figure swung its axe at Jomei with a sideswipe. The duelist rose his rapier in vertically in front of him, blocking the strike. Jomei felt his muscles tense as he tried to hold the Night King at bay, but the force of his enemy's attack sent him sliding across the ice they stood on. The ginger hurdled towards the far wall, unable to stop himself easily. Using his blade, Jomei shoved the tip into the ice, which scraped and dug into the surface, slowing his speed. Ripping the sword from the icy surface, Jomei closed the distance yet again, dodging another powerful strike from the king that caused the ice beside him to crack and spiderweb out. Now at the King's side, Jomei ripped his blade through the back of his leg, causing the King to fall to his knee. Now at his level, Jomei delivered another powerful sword art, this time knocking the king's health into the yellow. Jomei's wounds illuminated with a white light as his Battle Healing and Holy Blessing kicked in, healing some of the massive damage he had taken.

No wonder he was avoid going out and questing on his own. How did a trip to find a Christmas tree turn into him fighting one of the most difficult bosses that this floor had hidden away. Jomei shook those thought from his head, he was a frontliner, he could handle this. Wiping his cheek, Jomei brushed away the frost that was gathering on his skin. He needed to finish this quickly, before the ice claimed him rather than this new enemy. The King rose to his feet, putting its weight on the opposite leg than Jomei had not attacked. Still within proximity to each other the King bashed its shied at Jomei to create some distance so it could get in a strike with its axe. As the shield pushed towards the ginger, Jomei acted quickly and took the brunt of the shield bash, but gripped the edge of the slab of iron. The shield was freezing, and Jomei could feel his fingers going numb just holding onto it. As the King retracted the shield, Jomei allowed it to pull him along the ice to get a closer shot at him. Skating around the corner of the shield, Jomei was now able to get up close and personal with the King. Another Over Radiation took a huge chunk of health out of the King's once green bar. One more strike should do it.

Jomei 0 Posted December 21, 2020 Author #23 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Seeing that its shield was useless at this close range, the King tossed the item out of the way. The metal clanged to the ground and slid to a stop before his throne. Raising his fists high over his head, the King slammed down around Jomei, just nearly missing. The entire chamber rumbled, as icicles above the two began to plummet. Jomei's eyes went wide placing a foot on the Night King's arm and kicking off of him, sending him sliding backwards. Using the same tactic as before, using his rapier as an ice pick, Jomei went to work dodging the plummeting icicles that crashed to the surface around him. Once the small quake had subsided, it was just the King and Jomei left. Letting out a battle cry, the King charged at Jomei in a last act of desperation. Jomei, on the other hand, stood his ground, with his rapier pointed forward at the ready. Closer, and closer the ice King got before the axe came plummeting down atop Jomei. A small sidestep to the side was all he needed to dodge the attack, as the axe cut into the ground side him. With the King's bearded face in range, Jomei pulled his sword arm back and smirked at the doomed boss. "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal." As his sword art carried out, the Night's King was no more. Pixels and fragments slowly rained around him like a shimmering snowfall.

Jomei 0 Posted December 21, 2020 Author #24 Share Posted December 21, 2020 As the data fragments faded and blended with the frost-topped ground, the large shards of ice that blocked his path shattered, clearing the way. It was a simple task to retrace his steps and return to the Long Barrow, he just needed to move quickly to avoid succumbing to the freezing temperatures. Squeezing through the fissure in the side of the mountain, and hiking back down the winding path, Jomei found a bit of respite seeing the lights of the roaring fireplace within the Long Barrow. As he opened the door to the interior, he nearly collapsed to his knees, but he kept himself standing as to not create a spectacle. He immediately made his way over to the fireplace, where another two sat in conversation. They seemed a bit annoyed at Jomei's sudden intruding by placing himself in front of the fire, but the ginger could not care less. Placing his hands before the flames, Jomei allowed the heat to return to his body. The frost that had gathered at the ends of his hair and clothes quickly melted. The stranger from earlier approached Jomei from behind, placing a hand on his shoulder, "I take it the job is done?" "Yeah, its done." The stranger let out a heavy sigh of relief, like a weight that had been building up for years was finally taken off of his shoulders. "Good.. I'll sleep soundly knowing that thing won't take another soul.. Thank you. Now.. I promised you a tree. Didn't I?"
