[PP - F01] Twue Wove | <<Making Vows>>

[KnightessCiela 0]

Wulfrin had led the pair through the forest and into a large clearing. Ciela had already begun to hear the boss music playing in her head before the boss even appeared, she knew what was about to happen. Her first floor boss. She'd come a long way since the beginning of their journey. Yes, she was getting kneecapped by the system. But she wasn't too worried about it. Their stats were high enough before being kneecapped that no matter what this wouldn't be a challenging fight. 

The large plant had human teeth and lips, she shuddered as it emerged. It reminded her of some kind of man-eating deformed plant pokémon. The plant towered over the two but Wulfrin did not waver. She admired his courage and hopes to be as courageous as he is. Ciela watched as he released his attack toward the plant. Wulfrin gave her the go ahead to advance and she did so. She ran toward the plant monster.

As she activated her sword art, a pink trail followed behind her sword. The plant was still stunned and she took advantage of it, it's health bar dropped down to well below half. "It won't last much longer now. You're up." She stepped back as she waited for Wulfrin's next attack.

There was no downtime between when Ciela landed her strike and Wulfrin unleashing his follow up. The once crimson light around his pommel transitioned to the cerulean blue of Horizontal Square. Four consecutive strikes lashed into the boss's hide then dispersed a holographic square parallel with the ground. The boss was perfectly lined up to fall in the next volley of attacks from the duo. Despite the handicap the system was giving the monster, it failed to edit their HP and Energy reserves, meaning that the battle was already well in the bag before it even started. There was little left for them to do, but drain the last sliver of HP from the Vegitales reject. Based off the rough number crunching going through his head, Ciela should be able to fell the boss provided she could hit her attack. Worst case he could follow up with an attack next turn and finish it off.

"Final push!" Wulfrin yelled as he pivoted ready to strike. "Kill this thing and lets move on!"

Ciela followed up Wulfrin's attack. As she went in for her attack the Nepent slithered out of the way and swiped at her and Wulfrin with one of it's vines. They both managed to get out of the way off the attack. She wished that she had a way to get hate so that the extra damage on her armor could proc and it would die sooner. She looked at the Nepent and shuddered as it was too human for her liking. The human lips and teeth with the plant body and vines for limbs just made her unsettled.

"It healed a bit! You should be able to get it. Just don't miss." Ciela then stepped back a bit and looked over to Wulfrin to finish off the Nepent. "After we're done here let's go home." She smiled at him. She was ready for some rest since there was so much excitement today. She couldn't wait for the wedding though, her cheeks reddened thinking about it.

Unfortunately Wulfrin was having no better of a chance at hitting the beastie. He thought he had accurately planned his assault, but he didn't account for the terrain. As he rushed the boss hoping to impale it with his Vorpal Strike Sword Art, his foot found a loose rock directly in his path of travel. Wulfrin ended up losing concentration on the Art and rolling his ankle, sending him tumbling past the boss into a nearby tree with a resounding BONK. It took Wulfrin a minute to return to his feet. He rubbed his head where it had collided with the large oak tree. He swore he could hear the laugh track of an onlooking audience, no doubt Cardinal playing a cruel joke on him.

Luckily Solaris seemed to still be able to get his licks in. The flaming eagle orbited the vile mutated plant beast, lashing at it's hide whenever he had an opening. At least one of them was having some luck.

"Try again." Wulfrin groaned as he made his way back into the arena. "Don't let it heal back too much of it's health."

The two of them were having worse luck than ever as the Nepent's health grew lower and lower. It seemed as if they were never gonna actually land an attack on this uncanny valley looking creep. Ciela watched Wulfrin activate his sword art, and covered her mouth as he tripped on a rock. She watched him roll, "Are you okay!?" Then she heard the loud resounding BONK. She stifled her laughter, looking Wulfrin over and making sure he was alright before doubling over laughing. "I don't mean to laugh but that was literally bonk.mp3." She finally calmed herself and remembered the task at hand.

Reinvigorated she activated her sword art and as a pink trail followed her sword she laid into the Nepent, hoping she would kill it. Unfortunately she didn't do enough damage to kill it. Solaris came swooping in and finished the Nepent off before it could regen any more health and it scattered into a million tiny little fractals. All that was left behind was a small plant like egg. Ciela picked it up.

"Trust me," Wulfrin groaned still recovering from his collision with the tree. "It felt about as bad as it sounded. It wasn't all bad though, I think I saw something off in the woods. I'll just be a sec."

Partly looking for an excuse to leave the conversation, Wulfrin trailed off into the forest in the direction he had tumbled when attempting to hit the Nepent Variant. A couple yards from the clearing was a small nest that looked like it may have belonged to their now felled foe. Upon a closer inspection of the site, Wulfrin saw a decent sized treasure chest ripe for the plundering. Carefully he retrived the large wooden box and carried it back to the clearing where his companion waited patiently.

"See?" Wulfrin said with a large smile. "I found some loot to make up for the fact we couldn't loot the boss itself. Watch my back while I try and get it open? I didn't bring any keys with me nor am I any good with picking locks so this might take a second or two."

Wulfrin sat the chest down in the center of their small base camp in the boss arena. A timer floated above the arena, likely the time they had before the boss respawned. Better or worse Wulfrin wasn't planning to stay long. He focused on the chest and slowly began to methodically fiddle with the lock hoping to get it to pop open.

As Wulfrin returned with the chest he had found, she placed a soft and gentle kiss upon his head. "Does that help?" She smiled and gently petted his head. 

She nodded when Wulfrin asked her to watch his back, "Of course." She scanned the area diligently, making sure no enemies were coming up behind them. She peeked at him every so often, attempting to see if she could peek at what was in the chest.

They were in agreeance that after this they were going home and she couldn't wait. She was tired and spent for the day. She was ready to curl up in Wulfrin's arms while reading a book.

She was planning in her head what they were gonna have for supper. She planned that she was gonna make a simple dinner of pan fried salmon and shrimp, with mashed potatoes and broccoli cheese soup for sides. Her mouth began to water. She knew Wulfrin would be excited when he heard what they were gonna have for supper, but she kept it secret for now.

Wulfrin fiddled with the chest for a bit before popping the lock using the pommel of his sword. Inside the chest was a meager amount of Col and Mats. The few items that populated the rest of the chest were more his speed. Either the items will have some unique enhancements on them, or they would be additional Col in the pocket of himself or an appraiser. Was it worth the trouble of hunting down the field boss of Floor One? No. Did it put him closer to recuperating the money he dropped on the wedding? Not even close. He would have to go on a much larger grinding spree if he intended to make up what he was spending on this.

"Not much in this one," Wulfrin sighed. "Not that I expected there too be. This was just the Floor One field boss, but at least the items scaled to my tier, so it's not a complete wash. Come on let's head home."

Satisfied with their hunt, the duo returned to the cozy cabin on Floor 22, one step closer to a life together.
