Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted October 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Location you ask? A place out of sight in front of the Grand necropolis on floor twenty one. It was at times like this that the blonde missed her ≪Hiding≫ skill, now having to work harder to evade the cold gaze of the undead scouts and soldiers wandering around the caverns leading here. Despite having no visible eyeballs, just the sockets, these pesky trash mobs were vigilant to an unholy decree. Investigating even the faintest pebble sound that seemed to echo with the intensity of a city's earthquake alarm. The blonde would let a soft sigh as she would pick one up and throw it over their head into the opposite direction of where she was headed. Why was she doing all this? Pretty straightforwards answer, to attain a new skill that looked like S tier on paper. Sure it's cooldown was pretty long compared to other ≪Extra Skills≫ but that only served to show that it's utility was solid. So what she did was to recruit a couple of people using the Player Bulletin Board/ LFG chat and try to sneak directly past the minions. The quest guide said that the skill's acquisition condition was only to defeat the boss that resided in the bowl of the Grand Necropolis, so that's what they were going to too. As an incentive to those willing to help, she promised to show the location and help complete a dungeon she had mapped on this floor long time ago. "Looks like we're almost here." she said in a hushed tone while turning her gaze towards @Hirru and @Freyd. Her eyes glowed akin to her feline familiar as she used her ≪Searching≫ skill to the full of it's abilities. Nothing out of the ordinary as in hidden traps or mob ambushes around the interior. Slightly squinting her eyes towards the grand throne in the middle, she could see a large figure resting on it. "It looks like it's just the boss inside." she added, "Buff up and we can go in!" As she said that, she materialized a couple of consumables from her inventory and started munching on them. With a slight smile she would see the new additions to her status bar after the out of the ordinary [- - -] brackets from her ≪Meikyo Shisui≫.

Freyd 0 Posted October 19, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Thunder boomed in staccato bursts from the broken marble arcade that line the edge of the ruined square. Intermittent flashes of brilliant whites and blues preceded each, highlighting the shadow of a figure in motion as it darted from one kill to the next, yet never quite quick enough to snare its true image. Freyd had been here before, several times. Once, of note, was to save the hide of Firm Anima's noble vanguard captain, who'd foolishly sought to take on the black monarch alone. The canny bastard had nearly pulled it off too. As his fellow captain, Freyd admired the cunning and ingenuity the deed had required, and his fellow no less for planning so thoroughly in advance. Other people played the odds. He and Rai strategized, though both knew the value of making their actions seem like the former. Silence gathered around him during final approach, darkness sealing tight to shadows rendering both indistinguishable. A momentary reprieve for preparation was appropriate. Sliding from the edges of the field, he emerged like some unsuspecting rook overlooked on a crowded chess board to rejoin the rest of the pieces. Vacancy reigned in his wake as the last of the shattered shards dimmed to nothing, rejoining the void. Grasping the gugnir's shard clandestinely concealed under layers of black padded leather and fine wool, Freyd conjured forth a feast for the benefit of his fellows, even as he chowed down on assorted other goods. A brief nod acknowledged their female companion's observations. She'd always seemed the sort who liked to take charge, and he had no reason to dispute her assumed authority. Someone had to be in the lead, and she'd done well enough against Shadow. Their team, as a whole, had distinguished themselves in that fight. "Please," was all he said, gesturing to his offering. "There's no need to be wasteful with our resources." He'd held Big Bubba's gift in his extra skill slots since the aftermath of the last floor boss fight, and never used it. That was FTK's nickname, at least the one spoken to himself in notes and memories. The skill was an ace in the hole, so to speak, for when things reached the third circle of bad. Freyd practiced frequently, trying to see how many of those theoretical rings he could breach. A few lucky dungeon bosses had come close, and earned him some notches. It probably wasn't very wise to keep going after them solo, but that was also one of his things. Clad in varying textures of black, layered and streamlines for movement and functionality, The Whisper also played to expectations: be the edge lord others see. Concise and circumspect, his true goals lay closer to garnering information, without giving the same away, unless there was a compelling reason. Perhaps that was his motivation today? "He's a big bag of numbers, but I don't recall any adds. This is a straight up fight of attrition." A moment spared to glance over his companions' gear and appraise their merits. "Looks like you've moved away from tanking, Ariel, so our goal should be to burn him down as quickly as possible. Nothing fancy." Blue eyes swiveled to their green-haired companion from beneath the man's trademark cowl.

Hirru 0 Posted October 19, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Hirru followed beside the two while wondering what this quest was about. He was actually surprised that someone found the Hunter For Hire poster that the jade hunter put out so long ago. That was back when he was level 15! Though, the interest of the dungeon afterwards gave Hirru some thought. It wouldn't take very long for him to find out as the looming threats around the area seemed to protest. Although they wouldn't safely rush through all the undead, Freyd and Hirru would be enough AOE skill to kill most that were in their way. However, it seemed that Freyd has some prior knowledge, as he had already completed most of the quests possible in Aincrad, at the moment. They were all able to get to the main threat of their day, and what would be probably a fast fight. At least, that's what the jade hunter would think. "You say that it is all health then. Give or take some mitigation, as long as we're hitting our mark, we should have it down in two or three rotations." Taking a look at all of the lightning in the area, the hunter had to give it some thought though. "It looks like I won't be able to paralyze it, if all that lightning crackling around it is evidence enough, but what boss has been able to be? Still, I hope it likes venom. Possibly get ready to send Percy out to stall, if he's susceptible to stuns." Hirru says as he partakes in the gungnir shard Accuracy buff that Freyd shared out before rolling through his own buffs. He also included an LD buff while talking to Ariel. "I don't know what rank your mapped dungeon is, but we could easily find a tier four (T4) dungeon afterwards. Would garner a higher reward for all of us too."

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted October 19, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) She looked at the offering wrapped in leather and tapped to see what buff it gave. In her eyes one could see it wasn't anything out of the ordinary or something that she didn't had already but Ariel didn't want to refuse, so she took a small cup of the burned cream and enjoyed the sweet taste of it with a smile. She listened to the brief summary of their fight-to-come and nodded at his remark, her finger unconsciously tracing the golden etchings on her saya. "With the update, I had to either pick a tank build or to min-max my dps. A hybrid one like before wasn't a real option anymore, not with how scars skill point are now. But if the need arise, I still have the gear and a full skill reset ready to tank in the floor boss raid again." she answered, her expression hinting at her true feeling hidden behind her sense of duty. She lightly shook her head to recenter her thoughts, her hand now resting on top of the odachi's dark hilt. She made a semi-conscious effort to stop the fidgeting, refusing to answer the cursed weapon's subtle call. Luckily the conversation changed topic and she found herself mentally asking herself who Percy was, then making a couple of assumptions. One on particular evoking a soft chuckle before answering Hirru. She materialized a small piece of paper in the shape of a talisman or envelope. " Not really sure about the tier, since I have a handful of these before the update. " she puffed her cheeks for a moment, proud of her collection of dungeon maps and continued: " It had a different name before including the floor number but now it's titled as a ≪Random Dungeon Map≫, they all are. " she kept hold of it for a couple of seconds before letting go and sending it to the inventory. "But let's leave the main dish for later, we need to warm up before the dungeon." she said as she walked out in the open with a raised hand. "Yo King! I have a bone to pick with ya! Or several..." she taunted, earning herself a pop-in window that went like an introduction to their quest which she dismissed as soon as it appear. First, the seated skeleton's eye lit ablaze and directed it's focus towards them. With both hands on the throne's arms it raised itself slowly to build up atmosphere and with a voice that would make Darth Vader jealous it spoke, booming throughout the cathedral. "Who dares disturb my slumber? All those that defy the king will die by his blade! LIKE MANY BEFORE!" the boss extended it's right hand and gripped at the air, dark cyan flames concentrating in its grip and a second later, materializing into a scythe that stood taller than it: who was already towering over the players in it's tattered robe. Despite her instinct, the blonde gave ≪The Forgotten Time King≫ all the time it needed, taking in his impressive display and watching as he gained three health bars: a tough cookie indeed, she nodded as she recalled Freyd's words "fight of attrition". Ariel took a step and lowered her center of gravity, hand over her weapon's grip, only a thin layer of air preventing it from making contact. She took a deep breath and cleared her mind, this would be the first on-field test of her custom skill. 'Practice makes perfect' she muttered before she started running at the boss. In moments she was in it's personal space and executing her opening move. It was a simple Iai where she drew her katana and slashed at the boss vertically in an arc before grabbing the hilt with both hands and assuming a standard stance. The 'personal touch' she brought, that a trained eye could distinguish, was that she timed the sword draw with the instant she stopped running, transferring all that momentum to her arm/hand as it directed the blade: making her slash more impactful that it looked at first glance. Black flames ate at the red mark she momentarily left on the 'king's chest as well as black remnants could be seen around the obsidian colored blade. A small smirk escaping the blonde as she saw the fallen effect after her opening move. ID# 199115 BD: 8 (7 +3, FLN proc.) CD:4 | R5 ST-I | x15 (29 +8) =555 -100 Mit =455 DMG > ≪FTK≫ Keen proc.

Hirru 0 Posted October 19, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Hirru looked on at the parchment, seeming to take notice of the particular details within, before it was removed from visible eyes. Hirru shrugged while pulling Shelob's Fang from her scabbard, the venom oozing off of the blade as he let it's tip touch the ground. "Well, if anything, I'll have something for treasure chests, if they pop up." He truly was a hunter of all things. Monsters, treasure, and danger. If he could find it, the hunter was going to explore it. Of course, there were some areas that were out of his grasp, but he would gain that awareness soon enough. Some day, when these memories gain hold once more. Ariel went in first, and dealt an extensive blow from her Fallen damage. The hunter wondered if it was better to have fallen than holy, but the two were relatively exclusive to their own procurement. He could only hope that his appraisal skills would be enough soon. However, it would seem that the fight would not be over just yet. A fair chunk would be cut of from just Ariel's attack, as Hirru ran up to the forgotten king. "Let's see how you like the sting of venom!" Hirru shouted as he ripped into the Forgotten King's side, using a four part sword art that slashed at the same spot in a cross, then stabbed through cross-shape, before ripping the hooked blade out. This action would shatter its armor for a while, but the action seemed to proc the Troll Blood that was consumed earlier. No wonder the art seemed to pull out much more of the king than he thought, or that's what it looked like. However, the king's armor seemed to mend itself, as if the shatter never took place. "Oh! It's not susceptible to any status effect.." He tried to get back, but was going to be stunned in place for a while. ______________________________________________________ Post Action: TECH-D (x12 -20 MIT/ -10 EN [Stamina -2 EN]) Free Action: ID# 199116 BD: 9+6 CD: 1 | Focus Crit +2 | 26x12=312*2 (Troll BLood)= 624-(100)= 524 DMG + Envenom 32 + Paralysis [1] Ariel | HP: 918/918 | EN: 83/100 | [ II - - ] | DMG: 29 (+8) | MIT: 0 | AA | ACC: 3(5) | EVA: 5 | +39 HB | +49 BH | +8 LD (+1 loot) | Prosp.

Freyd 0 Posted October 19, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2021 A sly grimace spread across Freyd's pursed lips. Somehow, you couldn't stun this bag of bones, but you could still poison it? Such were the inconsistencies of a digital world, where the system governed over all and lingered just beneath the surface of everything. Logic dictated, but not the type you might think. It all boiled down to programming. And, despite the apparent futility, the Whisper chose to test it anyway. Veering right while his companions drew the king's ire, a second, smaller shadow scurries loose from beneath his armor and dashed straight between the feared mob's legs. Exploding into a furious flurry of gnashing teeth, scratching claws and indignant azure eyes, Freyd's shadow mongoose familiar chomped away at FTK's exposed ankle bones to absolutely no effect, aside from comedic value. The mob paid no heed, dragging the nibbling shadow along as it strode and took a swipe at Hirru twitching form, his defenses suffering from a bit too much Ugzeke in his veins. "Worth a shot," Freyd muttered under his breath, breaking into a full-on run. Enough distractions were in play, and he had a clear line of attack. That was enough. Hurtling forward like some sort of lancer, he lunged and poked the king right in the spine, toppling him off balance and straight into Ariel's reach. "That's it, Persi. You got him. Just... uh... keep doing whatever it is you're doing." Underfoot, the inky black blob with piercing blue eyes just trilled and purred as it played harmlessly with the bones of one of the meanest mobs in Aincrad.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted October 20, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) In a blink of an eye their group managed to gray out one of the three red HP bars that this boss had. From the lab boss fight she already knew that the two were capable players but it was a relief to see that even after a significant time that the blonde hadn't a actively participated in 'endgame' content. Her blade hadn't dulled as much as she thought and she could still keep up with top players. Internally, being the weakest link was one of her fears derived from her lifestyles both inside this game and in real life. Her relief was visible as she watched the two take action while she prepared for her next assault. She made a mental note to question the black familiar? origins and tactics later, being reminded of her own companion that was probably lazying at home and/or being spoiled by a certain redhead. Her next hit was another kendo move but this time she slashed three times at the boss' head right arm and shoulder, trying her best not to shout the names of the areas she struck like one would do during training. The boss slow and flamboyant movements made it easy to predict and even more so to dodge out of its scythe's arc so she took a moment to adjust her stance once again to deal the (presumably) final blow.

Hirru 0 Posted October 20, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Hirru wasn't ready for the paralysis from the troll blood. It was worse than being stung by a scorpion, and he hated those buggers. No this felt like he was rooted down to the floor, and his mind was clouded by red. It felt like something a creature enraged would feel after letting loose the 'beast', as it were. That's what the hunter thought he had done, but forgot one of the key things that these bosses had. Ariel said that this guy had a specific extra skill attached to his quest. Removes status effects, huh? To gain a skill, you had to fight the boss that used it. Taking the time to plan his next move, the hunter found himself on the wrong end of the scythe blade, which didn't dig too deeply, thanks to his high mitigation, but it would still be a fair blip from his health bar. If only he was a proper tank, like Shield, then he could probably negate the entire thing. Though, with the updated world, as it was, then he may be worse off. It made Hirru wonder how they would be handing the front now.

Freyd 0 Posted October 20, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Sliding past Hirru's still form, Freyd smashed the taller undead monster smartly on the rib cage beneath his left arm. Crunching bone resounded even as the Whisper pressed his attack. He was no tank, but The Forgotten Time King would not be permitted another strike against his ally. Planting the butt of his staff firmly against a block of broken masonry lingering from the glories of days long absent, Freyd flipped and spun high into the air. Samael's Pride opened its maw wide, unleashing the void within, and struck with the crushing appetite of a dying star as its exposed void it melted through undead flesh. A keening to rival the wails of a thousand baleful banshees filled the air as the weapon consumed a path through the mob, severing the king's left arm and devouring a good chunk of his torso in the process. Shattered shards suctioned themselves into the weapon as it passed. A swivel and high kick caught the mob below the jaw staggering him further and forcing him back a step or two. His angry retort fell harmlessly wide in the process, spraying random pixels in every direction as his form began to fail. "He's all yours, Ariel," growled the Whisper, still standing between Hirru and the King. His voice embodied a cold, almost sinister finality, directed squarely at their foe. "Remind our 'forgotten' friend of how he was meant to die."

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted October 21, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) The sudden stillness of their resident tank took the blonde by surprise. Thinking that it was some new kind of attack, she instinctively was about to activate her parry skill but discarded the thought before her body started moving to that goal. She watched Freyd remove a significant chunk of the king's hp bar alongside it's 'physical' body via his flesh-eating? weapon. From her perspective it looked more like it tore through the boss rather than the traditional way of cutting off its limb. Nonetheless she heard the call and quickly glanced at her status bar to confirm the tools at her disposal. She tightened the grip around her katana, feeling the two wills aligning to achieve their common goal. The accursed blade, yearning to be used and the blonde's objective to finish off the enemy in front of them. Despite her initial impulse, Ariel noticed her energy consumption and mused over her next move for a moment. This custom skill proved to be more taxing, energy wise, so she decided to use an inferior rank sword art which hopefully was enough to finish it off. As the so called king was starting to recover from the earlier blow, the blonde stepped in its personal space once more and with a swift motion, she looped off its head before it could make any move. A hard thud echoed as the head, then the decapitated body fell on the ground, the golden crown rolling at Ariel's feet. Unlike normal mobs, the undead's body started fading away slowly. "The king is dead. Long live the queen!" muttered the blonde with a cruel smile as she stomped on the crown, destroying it in the process. Next came a virtual window announce them of their victory and listed the rewards. Her smile broadened as she found the ≪Forgotten King's Authority≫ skill and it's description.

Hirru 0 Posted October 21, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) The paralysis ended not too long after Freyd's attack, but not before Ariel took the last hit, killing the Forgotten Time King. There was no doubt they would survive that, especially with the damage output of the others. It made the hunter realize more the power gap between those two and himself. He really needed to upgrade some new equipment, or be left behind. "I think I'll save those troll bloods for a better time. I'm not used to them, and Shelob doesn't have the enhancements to benefit from it." Hirru groaned while pushing through the small amounts of stiffness that would crop up. Seeing the quest complete window pop up, they seemed to gain that hefty skill. Something that can remove status ailments in seconds, the hunter would love to immediately equip it. There were reasons why he hated being Paralyzed. Most of those being bugs. He hated bugs because of this world. Shaking those thoughts away and walking over to the others, the hunter figured that Ariel's map was of a significant tier, so he decided not to change into his dungeon finding gear.

Freyd 0 Posted October 21, 2021 #12 Share Posted October 21, 2021 "Nicely done." A rare compliment and satisfied smirk perched upon the Whisper's lips as he watched the mob disintegrate by Ariel's side. The pervasive gloom dominating the slain monarch's chamber lessened as a few stray strands of light penetrated through tiny, distant windows unaccustomed to fulfilling their intended functions. "I'll buy them off you, if you've no use for them." Directed at Hirru, the two of them had taken on Ugzeke together in the past, and Freyd was constantly grinding the field boss for its infamous buff. "Also, let me know what weapon you're seeking and I may be able to help you out. That said," his keen gaze scanned their surroundings, "I'd be very surprised if there weren't a few dungeon entrances within throwing distance of this mob's throne. SAO's designers have a penchant for clustering such things." A furrowed brow recalled Hirru's previous comments. "Someone said something about a map?"

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted October 23, 2021 Author #13 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) With her right hand slightly raised, she lightly shock it: "Unfortunately, they're not for sale. I have plans on using them sometime soon but you're welcome to tag along when I do, if you want." The dungeons that the maps lead to were, in her vision, controlled environment where she could practice using her custom skill. Some entrances were located in the residence's valley, literally in her backyard. A quick glance at the team's status made it painfully obvious what the cost of of her newfound skill was. Her energy bar already at half while the rest we're well enough to start a second fight. " I'm gonna need a moment here. " she said a little dejected but as soon as the subject of maps transitioned to using one here, she retrieved one from her inventory and held the talisman between her index and pointer. Before using it, she nodded at Freyd's statement on the possibility of having more than one dungeon present here. Her eyes briefly glowed green as she used her ≪Searching≫ skill to scout their environment. This time focusing on any nooks and crannies rather than on hidden traps or mobs. Her brows furrowed in slight annoyance as she didn't see any hint of an entrance no matter how she swiveled her head around their surrounding. "Guess I'll have to use this..." she muttered. The next moment, the treasure map talisman burned between her fingers and somewhere, the sound of rocks shifting could be heard. ID# 199230 LD: 1 +11 (NO Dungeon found!)

Hirru 0 Posted October 24, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Hirru could only sigh as he could tell the signs of a search skill being performed. Ones eyes gain a slight green hue when the skill or any mod there in is activated. Is Ariel really trying to make it look like there are no other dungeons around? The hunter could only smile and take it. This was supposed to be their reward for helping out, so it would be rude not to take on this dungeon that she had for them. Walking in a very odd pattern to the both of them, he would walk his way to where the rocks seemed to slide apart. It was quite a deep stairwell downward, but other than that, there was no faint indicator of its strength and rarity. "Ariel, where did you say you got this map from?" He would ask before proceeding. He was sure they would be fine with a full tier four dungeon, but he didn't want to chance it and find she found the only T5 map for another 10 floors. He had a few Random Dungeon Maps himself, but he had yet to use any, so he didn't know how they worked yet. He had enough luck just finding them himself. Looking back, his eyes were hued green as he spied all of the possible dungeons that they could've used. He would have to do them some other time, then.

Freyd 0 Posted October 24, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Watching the Jade Hunter's reactions in silence from beneath his cowl, Freyd busied himself by examining the ruins around them. Who had this king been? What tragedy or calamity had led to his downfall? Who was hit interior decorator, and had be been buried somewhere around here for allowing this travesty? Such were the thoughts running through his head. The place had a dry, stale odour, like a giant loaf of hardened bread grown as solid as a brick, yet begging for a bit of moisture so that it might achieve true pungent decay by blooming in mold instead. A few light taps on the stonework with his staff offset the footfalls of Ariel's heels as she walked. High spanning buttresses and columns gave the place a very gothic appearance, Judging by the number of absent supports, it probably should all have come down on its own, long ago. But these were set pieces designed by the game for general ambiance. Gravity took a back seat to the richness of the decor. The Crowned Lion sounded flustered. No big deal. She had a map anyway. Freyd had long ago come to the conclusion that there were often more opportunities to find maps than use them, as attested by the giant stack of the things in his inventory. "Take your time," he offered, speaking softly in case the columns decided that gravity should suddenly govern. "We're in no rush." (EN refresh 2/2) Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted October 26, 2021 Author #16 Share Posted October 26, 2021 To Hirru's question, the blonde crossed her hands and closed her eyes as her brows furrowed in thought. She remembered farming a few of them before the update and... purchasing the rest? or at least that was the faint memory she managed to pull. Walking inside someone's shop for the usual consumables then noticing maps on display as well. "I think I bought it from another player? she asked herself more than anyone in particular. I remember getting drops on floor 10 but since they're all the same now I can't tell you for sure." she added, her posture changing again as she looked around. She was motivated to see where these stairs lead to. Having done dungeons before but none after the recent updates she was interested to see what they had to offer, both in therms of challenge and rewards. "Did any of you finish a dungeon after the last floor boss fight? I'm tingling all over to see what's changed." Ariel asked, alternating her gaze from one to the other.

Hirru 0 Posted October 26, 2021 #17 Share Posted October 26, 2021 While waiting for an answer to his question, he kept an eye on the entrance before them. There didn't seem to be anything coming out for them, but that just meant that they still haven't entered it's territory. Once inside, they wouldn't have too hard of a time. Both Freyd and Hirru had done their fair share of dungeons, especially using the hunter's certain chance luck to find any dungeon, at any time. If only he didn't have to constantly buy more buffs for it to be fruitful. Were there other ways to work around that?, he thought. He was starting to figure out the boosts that Baldur's guest room could do, but he was constantly on the move. Not much time to sleep there. "Well, as long as it's nothing crazy, we've both been through quite a few dungeons ourselves since the world was reset. Not many changes of note, but.. If it's the three of us, we'll blaze through it. No problem!" Hirru would look over as he said that, the green hue now gone from his eyes. A quick signal to Freyd and Ariel, that he was good whenever they were. There wasn't much else that he needed to do, but as the highest mitigation between everyone here, he would probably head in first. Link to post Share on other sites
Freyd 0 Posted October 27, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 27, 2021 "Uh..." Freyd's eyes shifted. "Yeah. That." Hirru's response would serve as a suitable response. The truth was probably closer to a dozen, or more, but there wasn't much point in revealing that. Freyd practically lived in the damned things and had catalogs full of maps available at his disposal. "Thanks for providing the map, Ariel." Any expenditure of resources on his behalf required acknowledgement. Life was transactional, after all, at least from his perspective. Nothing bothered Freyd more than the notion of being in another's debt. But, given that all would benefit from a dungeon clear, the conditions for mutual consideration had been met. "The next one's on me. Plus, Hirru can practically find these in his sleep. It's actually rather impressive to watch." Casually tapping his hollow, black stick of near-infinite death and despair like some sort of child's twirling baton, Freyd nodded to confirm that he, too, was ready.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted October 27, 2021 Author #19 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) With a few nodes and a 'mm-hm!' as a positive reply, she took their words at face value and continued forward in their, so far, uneventful trek to through the dungeon. A slight hum confirmed that she now had full energy once more, the blonde let out a crisp '"Ready!" before anything else. When confronted with Freyd's gratitude, she lightly wave her hand dismissively in front of her with a somewhat troubled expression while not rejecting it entirely. "I for one can't wait to get my hands on some of the new drops, I've only caught gleaming scales but I need to other one too in order to get some gear upgrades." she looked before them, slightly squinting her eyes. "Maybe if we make enough noise we might bump into ≪The Watcher≫ mini boss on this floor, I've been told that it's drop is really good." she added as she slightly got more serious. Rumbling stone noises could be heard nearby, her dominant hand instinctively reaching at her weapon's hilt while her overall posture lowered as well. A simple sound triggered the blonde to change from a casual attitude to her scouting mode. Soon enough they were greeted by a handful of ≪Rock Golems≫ which didn't attack them off the bat but were doing... something that the blonde only saw it as 'chilling'. 3/3 EN full Edited October 27, 2021 by Ariel - The Crowned Lion Link to post Share on other sites
Hirru 0 Posted October 28, 2021 #20 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) "As much as a field boss would probably be good to work around, this floor's boss would probably diminish our stats. Besides, I haven't faced this floor's field boss. Any info, Freyd?" The hunter would ask his fellow monster hunter about this <<The Watcher>>, or whatever it is called. It must be fairly difficult, if its on the tail end of the 3rd tier bosses. He had been on the tail end of the fifth floor field bosses status reduction. It wasn't so kind to Hirru, as the strength and accuracy needed to bypass the Land Shark's hide was something that he had not missed. He sighed while leading the three of them down. As some rock formations merged together to form large rock golems, the hunter was starting to get annoyed by the amount of merging beings popping up lately. It made him want to explode on there animated boulders. With the force of a raging bear, the Jade Hunter burst forward. Ripping into each and every one without fail, while really giving it to one of the golems. His venom seeping into its cracks. How did venom affect a construct? Hirru obviously didn't know, nor care. He would just give the signal to Freyd for the follow up.
