[SP-F8] Chasing Deers in the Forest

[Rebekah 0]

Rebekah made her way towards another group of three deer. She believe she was closing in on the next level and wanted to grind to finish the fight today. Rebekah took out her trusty sharp rapier again, and got ready as she raised her weapon towards the deer. Without overthinking what she was going to do next, she started to move towards the three deer. She was trying to avoid making a sound to alert them as that would make the deer run away from her, or make them dodge her attack.

Rebekah thought the deer were not paying attention to their surroundings, but she was wrong. Little did she know it was a lot harder to sneak up on monsters since the new update and as a result two of the three deer were able to avoid and dodge her attack with ease. Rebekah was fast enough to react to be able to hit the second target, but that was the best she could do today. Rebekah knew that she will need to focus on improving her skills in the future, and that this was valuable practice.

The two deer that were not stunned by the girl's attack immediately began to attack the girl which had attacked their friend. Rebekah saw the eyes of both deer and knew that she had provoked the group. While she had thought a stun was possible, she didn't realized that it did not work, and that she needed to improve her sword skills.

As the deer tried to attacked, Rebekah was finally ready and had been expecting it. This time she jumped up into the air in order to avoid both deer, and she knew that she was athletic enough to be able to jump high enough to avoid both of the charging deer that were not stunned by her original attack. This was an instinctive reaction by Rebekah as she had stopped thinking in battle but rely on her intuition on what to do instead. This was all slowly coming back to her, the ability to make split second decision in battle without thinking about what to do step by step. Yes, she knew that she should plan out how the battle would go, but at the same time, there are times when the reaction time and what decision was chosen in the split second was the most important.

Rebekah went on the attack. It was time for her to prove to herself that she had learned her lessons from earlier in the day, by being able to land consecutive strikes in combat and to minimize the damage taken. As she was in the air she twisted her body and took out her rapier, ready to dive back down and attack all the deer the moment she landed. This was an extremely challenging maneuver to do in the air.

However, as the girl landed she was falling too fast, and Rebekah had no way of skillfully controlling herself in the air. She had done some gymnastics as a little girl but not enough to be able to manipulate the body in a way that would allow her to attack the deer. Therefore, she was unable to land an attack on the two of the three deer. Rebekah was able to pick out one of the three deer and directed her attack. It was a hit, but not enough to be able to kill the deer. She thought she had gotten over her struggles in combat, but she is still struggling today.

This is not going so well. It has been the normal for Rebekah today, continuously facing multiple monsters in battle. She did make it a lot harder for herself than she needed. There was nothing else to do except to attempt to dodge all of their attacks at the same time. Rebekah knew that this was not going to be easy but she has experience doing that all day today.

To her, there is no difference between this and one more round of battle. Rebekah knew that it was unlikely she could dodge all three attacks, so she focused on making sure to cleanly dodge two of the attacks. This meant she knew that the first attack would hit, and she thought that if she did not attempt to dodge, the other two deer would miss their charge right at her. Rebekah took out her shield and tried to mitigate the damage on the attack. A split second later, the remaining two deer charged right past her but not at her as they were not expecting the girl to avoid dodging. After all, Rebekah was starting to get the experience and the legs back under her in battle.

It was time for Rebekah to get back on the attack. This was going to be important strike upcoming as she was starting to tire out. She knew that she needed to be healthy enough to retreat back into the settlement afterwards and wanted to desperately avoid any other monsters. Rebekah took another breath and got her rapier in position.

Rebekah took out another area of effect sword skill and knew that she could attack multiple deer at the same time. She began moving her feet and her arms and began to stab each of the deer multiple times before moving to the next one. She needed to ensure this was done quickly enough to combine into one skill. The first target she hit lost some damage, but it was the second and third target that she attack that quickly died. She knew that she was currently not strong enough to kill the deer in 1 attack, but she can easily do it in two attacks. It was just taking her some trouble to land the first or the second attack to finish the deer off. She then received the notification again for her rewards for killing the deer.

After two of its friends had died from the attack, the remaining deer was extra motivated to attack the girl. It knew that it would only be able to land one more attack on her. Therefore, it had planned to switch it up and attack her using its legs instead. The deer had kept trying the same move over and over again, which was to use the antlers.

Rebekah noticed something strange about the remaining deer right in front of her. It was not moving the same way as before, so she began to become cautious just to be save. She had heard about monsters changing attack patterns after a while but had not expected a regular monster on this floor to attempt to do it. It was always better to be safe than sorry. As Rebekah got her shield, Unbroken, ready, the deer tried to kick the girl using its small and nimble legs. Rebekah quickly stepped back and just out of reach of attack range of the deer's leg. This was not something that she had expected but at least she remembered to pay attention to the surroundings. After all, Rebekah believed that she was slowly improving over time to get back into battle shape.

After that attack was over, Rebekah was determined to finally finish this battle, and head home. She was starting to feel hungry so this was the perfect timing if she could execute on everything that she needed to do. Today was already a success, but she needed to stay focus. This was going to be an issue if she began to let complacency settle in. It was not something that she had wanted to occur so as long as she could avoid it and mitigate any potential damage from it. Rebekah told herself, "one more strike, one more strike".

With those words in mind, she activated a rapier skill, hopefully the last time for today. Rebekah closed her eyes and hoped for the best. She knew that she needed a little bit of luck. Rebekah ran towards the remaining deer who had tried to weakly kick her and sent one the simplest single target skill she knew, linear, right at it. The deer did not even attempt to dodge the attack, and just like that it was dead. Rebekah finally completed her mission today as she got the notification from the system again.

It was finally time for Rebekah to return to town. It had been a long and successful day. She had defeated 9 monsters and found some additional materials. This was going to make her life a lot easier going forward. In order to survive in Aincrad after a long break, she needed some time to get familiar with all the things that she had missed. She knew that she was now ready to meet up with others to tackle on some of the newer quests.

As Rebekah made her way back into town towards the teleportation gate, she was starting to get hungry. She was looking around for a good restaurant to eat for the night but she was unable to decide on what to eat. Therefore, she decided to head back to floor 4 and leave floor 8 for the time being as she knew the floor 4 town inside out as she had set up her shop there a long time ago, and it was easier to hang around nearby as she waited for her goods to finish baking.
