Despite it's giant size, the mob was agile enough to bridge the gap between it and Ariel in a mere second, making a downwards slash in the same time. It left a deep crimson mark from Ariel's unguarded chest from her left shoulder to her right waist. Gritting her teeth Ariel managed to back away while Kimba tried to attack the new opponent. her efforts however were unsuccessful as she lashed at the giant's left leg with her claws but didn't manage to deliver any damage at all. "Kimba stay back!" shouted the blond. her previous grin turning into a furious gritting. "I see going silent isn't going to work with you. Very well then bring it on bonehead!!!" she said while entering her defensive stance for the first time since she entered this floor.

While clenching her teeth as hard as she could to withstand the pain that surged every time she moved the prideful blond didn't even let out a sound giving away her pain, as she closed in on the Undead captain and thrusted her rapier. Luckily this mob was more visible in the dark due to its initially white clothing and giant-like size. So it was pretty easy for Ariel to see where she had to strike. The first thrust was aimed at one of its decaying foot in a attempt to bring it on a lower level so that she could aim for the head more easily. But she was foolish to believe that it would fall so easily from only the first hit.

But that didn't discouraged her, by instead helped vent a little of her anger as she saw the figure wobbling for a second before regaining it's composure. The Captain attempted to attack the blond but as soon as his massive arm, that wielded an equally massive katana, was raised she had already made a couple of steps to the right evading the incoming downwards slash. "Strike me once..that's okay. Slash me twice, shame on me! or however that saying was." she said while closing in and striking at the mob's other leg. Luckily its tree trunk-like legs were easily spottable with the relatively white clothing.

As she was backing off the mob surprised her again by spinning his massive 180º, turning its blade upwards and performing a upwards slash right in the direction of Ariel's left arm. With her instincts kicking in the blond use the left vambrace to deflect the incoming hit. She smirked as she saw that it did no damage at all and initiated a counter attack at it's exposed left side, skillfully aiming her blade towards the Captain's underarm, ignoring the chest piece. This time the mob let out something like a broken howl while Ariel could swear that his eyes gained a red spark inside of them, just for only a second.

By now Ariel's rage subdued, reverting back to her initial state, the normal 'battle-mode'. Since she didn't receive another blow and could see more or less her opponent this time. Since the mob's initial strike Kimba had remained uncharacteristically silent during this battle. So Ariel, while putting enough distance between her and the mob, took a quick glance behind. The she saw a white blur starring back at her with a pair of golden eyes. To others, this sight would appear something that could be encountered in a horror story but to Ariel it was reassurance that her companion had obeyed her and stood out of the battle as she now struck the mob one more time in the leg. Making it loose it's ballance for a couple of second.

Taking advantage of that opportunity Ariel lashes herself at the mob, thrusting her blade in the mob's right knee joint with all her might. The tip of her rapier could be seen exiting on the other side as the massive mob, unable to stand up entered a kneeling position. The blond then quickly retracted her rapier and grinned at it's face now that it was at her level. She extended her hand and rearranged the cap on its head so that her next struck would hit for certainly where she wanted to. "Any last words?" she asked in a cold voice while doing that, getting in response only a couple of low growls.

What was she expecting, to plead for its 'life'? was it even aware that it had one? In the end the mob in front of her was only a large combination of 1 and 0. But still something bugged her, she had fought many opponents like that and as much as she doesn't want to admit it her companion wasn't any different. She wasn't smart enough to find a logical explanation to back up what she was about to say but still said it: "These are not just simple computer programs!!" she shouted as she thrusted her rapier with full force, directly between the mob's eye sockets and kept pushing until more than half her blade sinked in. Then with a 'thud' the mob simply exploded into polygons, once again illuminating the surroundings.

After collecting the loot left behind by the mob, Ariel looked around for her companion. She saw a white blur walking away from her in a random direction. Shaking her head to dissipate previous thoughts she followed her with a light stride, as she catched up the blond didn't have to ask where her companion was going as she saw it herself. In the distance, a strange glowing thing could be seen. Once they reached it Ariel kneeled only to observe that it was a flower that had some kind of natural fluorescence. She extended her hand to pick it and in the moment she pulled it from the ground the flower transformed into a powder that contained a fluorescent powder, labeled: 'Firefly essence'. " 'Firefly',huh? I guess the name of this flower contained that part, a very convenient thing to find out here. Maybe I can make some armor that would do something about this surrounding darkness. I feel that my hits aren't landing as usual at this floor."

As she summoned her inventory, in an attempt to store the fluorescent bootle, Ariel heard Kimba roar loudly once again. 'Another one?' she asked herself while turning around. The bottle was till in her hand as she drew it beside her right hand illuminating the place in front of her. There she could see a giant, no different than the one she just slayed: "Another one indeed, well buddy I'll have to send you to your friend right now.Don't hold it against me okay? it's business." she said smirking while engaging the mob in combat. It tried to perform a down slash on her but having experienced that already she easily evades it and attacks it's unprotected leg again.

As expected it didn't affect him very much on the exterior but Ariel could see its HB bar dropping. With a smile she launched herself to the Captain once again. Aiming at his unprotected neck, hoping to end it quick or at least eal some major damage but the mob managed to evade her by stepping to the left. Not entirely as her rapier managed to pierce the captain's right shoulder stopping its  incoming upward slash. She then retracted her blade and stepped back for a few paces making sure that it didn't continue its attack.

Seeing that the mob didn't have any intention of attacking after his initial attack was parried, Ariel once again dashes towards him making a feint to the left and striking it at its raised and now unprotected right underarm. The mob let his hand fall the swing was easily deflected by the blond using her left vambrace while retrieving the blade from its flesh. She let's out a smirk: "Guess that arm isn't going to do you any good now, will it?" she said taunting it.

As if getting hooked in her taunt the Undead captain let out a few growls followed by a roar and a attack that took her off guard. She manage to evade and deflect most of the damage but she still got hit on her right side. Gritting the pain to yet another surge of pain she once again didn't let out a single moan of pain. She just hold on with her left hand to the place, dropping the glowing bottle in the process. After the majority of the pain had diminished she lashed herself at the mob once again stabbing it in its right leg, making it wobble for a couple of seconds.

But it quickly regained its footing, slashing at Ariel who barely managed to deflect the strike. "Feisty one aren't you? Is it because I danced with your friend earlier...Oh my, Are you gelous dear?" she said mocking him while backing off. All jokes aside she experienced its strike firsthand and she wasn't to eager to sense it again. So until she could predict his movements and find a gap in its defense, she decided to play in defence for a while. But nobody said that she wouldn't try to taunt it into losing its calm..if that was possible.

The Captain charged once more in its 'rage?' at Ariel, but his massive sword didn't proved a thread anymore as the blond skilfully evaded the blow deflecting only the tip with one of her vambraces. The mob then winched and retreated a few steps, the blond looked at her equipment to see it was still in one piece. With a smirk she addressed the mob: "What happened? Did you lose the strength in that arm, it was bleeding earlier..you should see a doctor before something bad happens." The mob again let out a couple of low growls, fixing his now red eyes on Ariel.

This time she didn't wait for it to attack as she dashed towards it, keeping an eye on his katana. It didn't seem to react to fast as Ariel went and struck the mob's left leg with full force, making her opponent wobble a couple of steps before kneeling in front of her like the previous Captain. It tried once again to do a upward slash with the massive katana but the blond once again deflected it with her left vambrace while letting out a sigh. "A persistent one aren't you? Don'0t worry I'll end it soon."

She stared the Captain into the face to see if there was a trace of 'something' in them, she wasn't expecting 'humanity' but at least self awareness to some level. But there was nothing there, only a couple of red eyes that looked at her proud and defiantly. "Somehow they managed to give you that scary look, those Sword Art Online developers knew their stuff. This game keeps surprising me, in the good sense." she said while flicking off the captain's cap, revealing a hideous head that was almost entirely bald with a few spots where rotten flesh could be seen. The blond gritted her teeth and thrusted her rapier while exhaling.

The blade went through it's skull, exiting on the other side but the mob didn't explode into polygons instantly, like the first Captain. Instead it felt backwards and laid there on the ground. The blonde frowned and and looked at the mob's HP bar: "1 HP??? Are you kidding me?" she shouted then stabbed the mob in the right leg, this time the mob did as expected and dissipated into polygons brightening the nearby area and leaving behind the exact loot as his friend did earlier. Turning her head towards her familiar, Ariel had a displeased face for some reason. She then looked at her own HP bar letting out a faint smile: "So all this fuss and I only lost half? I hope the next floor has more powerful mobs." she said.

Receiving in return only a couple of low growl, Ariel turned back to where the Captain fell and picked up the loot it left behind. A piece of white material and a pouch of col. "At least they drop a pretty good loot" she said while storing the stuff into her inventory, then turns around once again to face her companion. "Ready to go back? All this darkness is tiring me. Let's head back to town for now and then we'll see what we're going to go. What do you say?" she asked and as a response got a subdued roar of approval.

The blonde let out a faint smile then knelt down to pick up the fluorescent bootle she dropped in the fight. It wasn't much but it was enough to brighten the nearby area so that Ariel was able to see more clearly what was around her. In the distance she could notice a similar fluorescent light. As she drew closer, brandishing her rapier she could notice the same type of flower she picked earlier that resulted in her gaining the bottle in her left hand. While sheathing her rapier she picked up the flower.

As the previous one the flower turned into a bottle, exactly like the other one she already had in her left hand. While storing the new one Ariel rose and took a quick look around to see if there were any others. But that was all the luck she had as not even a dim light could be seen anywhere except in her left hand. She the looks at her companion and with a nod checks her map and heads back to Yomi town. "You know? even if this is japanese themed I prefer we leave our shop where it is right now. what do you say? I think the undead here might scare potential customers." she asked her familiar which simply let out a roar.
