SP-F4 <<Avalanche>>

[Reusririasuir 0]

Reu took a long look around. He had cleared all the Ice Elementals from this mountain-top and was now standing completely alone. Deciding to do a search, Reu activated his 'Search & Detect' ability, and looked for anything suspicious. At first Reu didn't see anything, then he looked up at the rock grotto in front of him. Hah, Reu laughed to himself, it was right there the entire time. Bounding up the rock grotto, Reu walked up on the treasure chest which was now plainly sticking out at him.

Reu couldn't believe his luck, he walked up to the chest feeling elated. Still, he was ever-cautious and check the chest for traps. Excited that there were none, he popped the lid! Inside was the mother-lode! 400 Col and 3 Materials, Reu couldn't believe his luck! He excitedly added the items to his inventory, and then took a seat next to the Treasure Chest, trying to figure out what to do next, or where to go.

Suddenly, the rock grotto beneath him started to move.

 

"What the?" Reu pondered aloud. The entire earth was moving. Realizing this was NOT good, Reu rand down the side of the grotto and turned around, facing the grotto.

 

Suddenly from the middle of the grotto, erupted a massive Ice Elemental. Two Health bars appeared next too it, and as Reu read its' name, it erupted with a terrifying cry of 'AVALANCHE!"

 

Reu stepped himself back, this wasn't going to be an easy fight, but he was here now, and they were about to throw down.

 

Reu : 18 / 35 (+1 out of combat healing)

Reu activated his Concentration skill and rushed the gigantic creature Avalanche. Doing so, he ran up the side of the Ice Elemental's arm and ripped his blade into its ribs, lethally. Hopping off at the elbow, Reu was now behind the creature and thought himself safe; but to his surprise, Avalanche suddenly swung its massive arm over and around and slammed Reu with a giant frozen paw. The speed with which Avalanche moved surprised Reu and he was reeling from the attack. Reu became much more worried then he had been, looking at his health bar, he realized...he might not make it out of this battle alive!

His senses beginning to recover from that sordid strike, Reu again attacked Avalanche. This time running right up too it and slashing at its stomach. The beast cried in pain, reeling from the heavy blow Reu landed. Expertly, Reu performed a series of well-executed jumps to avoid the resulting smash frenzy Avalanche attempted to hurt him with. So far so good, Reu thought to himself, as he eyed his health gauge, and then Avalanches.

Charging forward again, this time Reu dodged Avalanches slam attack, and ripped into its arms with his sword, the Apotheosis Unto Mars. As he tore into Avalanche, Reu sprayed ice-blue snow across the mountain-top. Having no time to stop and admire how pretty the colors were, Reu continued bouncing around the mountain-top, buying time for his Battle Healing ability, doing his best to avoid being struck, and doing his best to avoid a slippery fall to his death. One slip, one slip and it would all be over.

Eyeing his cooldown timer for his Concentration skill, Reu noted that it would still be several more seconds until it was ready. So instead, he focused on making the best timed attack he could without it! Darting in he ripped the blade against the monster's belly again, and once again, managed to evade the counter-attack, though just barely! This fight was way too close for Reu tastes that's for sure! Still, Reu had almost gotten their HP to equal, for that, he was proud of himself.

Pushing forward, Reu continued a frenzied assault against 'Avalanche'. Slashing left, right, down, and then left again, Reu managed to slip his sword inside several times. Avalanche might be bigger then he was, but Reu was here to show that size wasn't everything!

 

He ripped the creature asunder, and then he dug his blade into the wound again with a spinning combination attack. The blade pulsed as Reu struck, indicating that it was critical strike! Avalanche was reeling from the pain, it feel backwards, and when it went to strike Reu, he was easily able to dodge the big, slow, telegraphed counter-strike.

Launching another assault, Reu ripped his sword left and then came up in a beautiful uppercut slash. As he did so, he flipped off of Avalanches' stomach and kicked him in the chin. Ha, take that ya big oaf! As Avalanche went to counter-strike, Reu easily avoided another attack, and this time, felt the warm battle healing ability kick-in. Even better, he glanced at his cooldown timer and saw that his Concentration ability was now fully cooled-down. It's good to have it if I need it, he thought to himself!

The mighty Reu attacked Avalanche unafraid of the monster. Rushing in recklessly, he ripped his blade across the creatures chest. As he did so, Avalance laughed and used his massive arms to trap Reu in the center. Suddenly, Reu had no way out! Avalanche then used its giant icy paws to smash Reu between them, sending Reu reeling while his battle healing ability attempted to heal the damage done to him.

Reu bounced around the battle-field. His acrobatic abilities is what gave him such great evasion so far during this fight, Reu wasn't exactly going to let it go to waste. He jumped up Avalanches left arm now and ran his blade alongside the beasts ribs, sending it reeling with pain. As Avalanche went to counter-attack, Reu simply did a simple back-step off the edge of Avalanches arm and easily avoided the attack. Hitting the ground, Reu resumed his battle stance.

Reu again attacked the large monster known as Avalanche. Sending it down to its last HP point, Reu was feeling great about this battle. So far, nothing had been outside his ability to control, so far, Reu was the one IN control. He easily avoided yet another attack by Avalanche, and prepared to end this battle.

Suddenly, Avalanche struck out of nowhere with a giant whirlling snowball attack! It was a critical change in its attack patterns! Reu wasn't surprised so much as he was simply taken off-guard. Many monsters would change their attack patterns when they were low on health, still this one was hard to dodge being an extremely powerful area of effect attack. The entire area of effect encompassed the entire mountain-top, Reu had no-where to run as a giant snowball smashed into him, and then several more did the same!

Reu was in a panic now. He couldn't avoid the extremely powerful attack Avalanche started. Not having any time to run, Reu did the only thing he could think to do. It was stupid, it was suicidal, but Reu was both of those things, and more. Charging at Avalanche, Reu smashed into the creature and hacked and slashed until the monster was on the edge of the cliff, finally, Reu threw himself against the beast, and the two went into a free-fall down the mountain. 

 

To an outside observer, it would have been mere seconds, though it would have seemed like hours as they went tumbling over the edge; but to Reu, it was over before he knew it. With a ginormous thud, Avalanche smashed into the ground, and Reu smashed into Avalanche. Powdered snow filled the air. Avalanche wasn't moving, it was clearly defeated. Finally, at long last, Reu sat up.

 

"Almost thought I bought the farm with that. I can't believe I'm still alive." he somberly expressed to no-one but himself. Checking his HP gauge Reu was right, he survived the fall with only one health point remaining.

 

Once he saw that he was in fact, still alive, Reu went to checking the loot drop. "1 Material, several experience points, and 1 alchemical salve."

Standing up, Reu checked his inventory for the entire journey and then walked to the edge of the lake, reflecting on the fall and the full journey.

 

They always said us Bondurant boys was indestructible.

 

Wordlessly, Reu started dancing a silent jig.

 

Then, he fell in the lake.
