Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 #1 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 "Okay I know this <<Cavern>> isn't the best place to bring a pretty girl like you Claudia but you need to trust me I've...." and with her partner for the day's extended hand in her face, Ariel falls into silence and waits for her to speak. She knew the crimson maid for a while now and like her hair color, she can become very volatile if she is annoyed. This woman was one of the few people in Aincrad that Ariel would actually listen to and respect, a very hard earned respect too. She was one of those prodigy kids that could fit wherever you put her and improve performance tenfold if left in charge. She wasn't sure if she was born this way or learned while growing up but right now, she obviously wanted the blonde in front of her to stop speaking and she would oblige her wholeheartedly. She took the pause to consume a couple of items she had specially prepared for today.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Author #2 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 "Just show me... " she simply replied and Ariel's face lit a bit up in the same time. Looking around them there were plenty to do, one could gather materials and pretty high tier ones to boot or one can go fish as she saw some pounds nearby that people already seemed to be casting lines. But she was pretty sure most of those that come to this cave are here to earn cash through sweat and grind, more precisely slaying mobs. The blonde sighted such a monster close to them: "Leave it to me, I won't take long. You should join me too or go on the gathering route, I think there are a lot of alchemist materials spread around here." Leaving the maid to her own devices, she spotted and proceeded to attacking a group of bats nearby. She charged them and hit all four of them with one wide 360º swing.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Author #3 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) The bats didn't seem to like Ariel disturbing their sleep and three of the winged rats immediately retaliated and managed to inflict a serious amount of damage onto her. It was at this time that the blonde noticed that her mitigation was too low to withstand a fight against a full party of high level mobs. She gritted her teeth and took the bats for another spin, the new Absolute Accuracy enhancements was like a god bless since how she was sure that she could hit her targets with more eaze. Or to put in in different terms, it seemed like the system didn't want her to miss anymore against mobs that had no evasion. Either way she gladly accepted the help and did her best not to get hit to many times. But it didn't seem to matter that much as her Hp was still filled to the brim.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Author #4 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Not long after the initial attack, two of the bats already dropped down while the blonde was still without a scratch. Looked like she didn't gauge her opponents correctly this time around. Out of the blue, she could hear Claudia's voice from nearby: "Finish the rest and come here! I found something more of your level!" The blonde had to stop spinning for a second make a short wave towards the maid to assure her that she got the message. She then turned back at her two remaining opponents and smiled: " Sorry but the boss lady called and I know firsthand how nasty she gets when I'm late to arrive so let's end it with the next attack shall we? I've wasted enough time already to warm up." muttered ariel as she was getting in position to release a lower rank aoe in hope of conserving some energy for whatever the maid had planner for her.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Author #5 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) To finish them off the blonde used a lesser Sword Art that did the intended job perfectly. As soon as their pixelated bodies vanished in thin air, the blonde turned around and made haste to get by the maid's side. "Took you long enough lady Ariel." was her cold remark paired with a stare that would freeze even the deepest bowels of hell. Confronted with such a reception, the blonde could only slump her shoulders like a kid that got schooled and send to the corner. Ariel didn't bother to make a case to herself as she knew this would only worsen her situation. Instead she looked past it and asked: "So, what did you called me here for?" The redhead smirked at her question and stepped aside, revealing what was to be Ariel's next opponent. One that, if she knew the maid well, would be more on par with her capabilities.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Author #6 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) A little excited, Ariel watched as the bespectacled beauty unveiled her opponent. At first she wasn't sure what she was looking at as Claudia was pointing at a wall with a few rocks around the ground. She was about to turn her head and ask if this was some kind of joke when one of the rocks on the ground twitched. Not really seeing it well, she got a little closer to see if it was her mind playing tricks or there was something there after all. Her suspicions were confirmed as she got closer and the rock moved again. By the time the blonde was within striking range the rocks formed a line that started undulating on the ground. The.. what she would assume was a head had a hollowed out section that acted as an eye. It tracer her every movement and reacted to it by moving the rest of the body. She concentrated on that moving piece and aimed for it while charging the mob.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Author #7 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) More grossed out than anything, the blonde initially charged the mob and unleashed her strongest sword art in hopes of finishing it in one blow but she soon saw that it would take more than that to kill the rock monstrosity. She could hear a small chuckle behind her and it wouldn't take a psychic to know where it came from. "I'm glad that at least one of us is having fun!" said the blonde while preparing for another round of consecutive stabbing that end up with a overhead slam on top of its stone body. It would still be around and moving even after the second round, which kind of ticked the blonde off. True, the bats from earlier take a few swings to kill as well but via AoE, her overall damage in halved. In a 1v1 scenario this thing should be able to survive this much time.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Author #8 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) "I wouldn't have come here if I it weren't something in it for me." claimed the maid but the blonde spear wielder she didn't come here for the materials she agreed to 'donate' to her master in exchange for her services. Claudia and Ariel had cultivated a wonderful friendship over time and they genuinely enjoyed each other's company. Even if the redhead had a sharp tongue, the frontliner like that about her as it kept her anchored more to reality. One of the things she missed was human interaction during her... 'vacation'. The maid was the one who would come with supplied on the 24th floor where Ariel spend her hermitage and naturally, they started bounding. That is why she didn't get annoyed when mocked by Claudia snorted at the fact that her latest attack left the mob with little more than a slither of HP, implying that she would have finished it off there.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 26, 2020 Author #9 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Spurred on by that one action the blonde used a lower rank sword art to finish it off, watching as the stones lost their magnet-like link and scattered around like peebles after her attack. Picking up the loot it dropped the blonde was pleased with the amount of it. " I told you this way it will be rewarding. " came a confident statement by her side. "And you didn't even take any damage. as i suspected, you're best suited for 1v1 scenarios against powerful foes. Fighting against groups is just wasting your time if you ask me..." were her companion's words and for a second Ariel thought about making a snarky reply like 'I didn't ask.' but decided against it. This kind of insight was welcomed and would benefit not only her but even maybe in a pre boss fight meeting. She filed that thought for the next time they'll hold such a gathering.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 26, 2020 Author #10 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) However the blonde couldn't take any breaks yet it seemed. The maid already motioned towards a similar rock formation that was nearby. Ariel watched the corner of her heads up display and before she could ask, an answer was already given to her. "It's more than enough energy to kill it, honestly to get your hands on a weapon with absolute accuracy like this." she couldn't he but smile as she listened. "It fits your aggressive playstyle very well and in the same time it optimizes your energy consumption." she couldn't see as she had already charged the snake but Ariel was sure that Claudia was checking over her stats as she continued. "You're only missing one weapon mod to have the best energy consumption. But before that you need to replace the keen enhancement from your trinket with something else, maybe Recovery to keep you going on even more time."

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 26, 2020 Author #11 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Seemed that the assistant got absorbed in her observations at the point that Ariel wasn't really sure if she was talking to her to to herself. Either way she knew that any bit of suggestion and information would be meticulously catalogued and recorded by Claudia, to be used analyzed after this little gathering. The blonde wouldn't have agreed to this if it wasn't the redhead who would observe her, in fact Dracul seemed relieved that she came instead of him. Ariel wasn't entirely sure how her combat data would benefit him as a alchemist but she was assured by the maid that the data will remain undisclosed and used only by the three of them, well four when she'll get a copy of it for herself. Claudia would probably handle the data treatment so Ariel was sure she'll get some well founded advices from her afterwards because right now, her bespectacled companion seemed immersed in her study.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 26, 2020 Author #12 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) "More than halfway through!" shouted the blonde in hopes to spark some sort of reaction from her alchemist enthusiast. A polite "Keep going!" was the only reply she managed to get out of her and now, slightly dejected, Ariel dumped all her frustration onto her current opponent. She tried aiming at the hollowed rock that seemed to act as the mob's head, to see if it would inflict extra damage or disable it movements, anything that would give the spear user an extra advantage in this fight. Before starting, Claudia asked her to fight like she always did and she was obliging that request. She would have prefered to do this on the 25th floor but her companion was against it saying that this quest area is more suited for a controlled test and observation. Ariel wasn't sure why that was true here but not on a higher floor but didn't give it more thought.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 26, 2020 Author #13 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Yet again, it took more than three sword arts to finish off the mob and the blonde could see why. Having Absolute Accuracy was very handy in having her consistently deal damage but it also reduced her overall damage output, which was a compromise she was willing to make. That didn't mean whoever that she didn't miss the Fallen enhancement activation effect that so far hasn't been used on this mob. She hoped that this last hit would satisfy her 'itch' of seeing the black flames crawl alongside whe pristine white feathers near her spearhead and attach themselves to the rock afterwards when her hit landed. Not to mention that this particular enhancement complemented her appearance and personality overall. Ariel couldn't imagine how it would be without using a weapon that had the Fallen enhancement. For her last attack against the mob she once again used a lesser sword art for the sake of energy consumption.

"That's really some nice loot, you got it's roughly about three days worth of our shop's income in just two mobs on this floor." said Claudia with a smile on her face, genuinely happy for the blonde. "Then again, monetary gains isn't the primary focus in master Dracul ambition." she added matter-of-factly. The blonde had to agree, having known the man for some time, he seemed to value social status and taste as if he already had experienced being rich already. Casting a glance around, she doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary or another mob to engage.

There was even a rock bench where players could stay while recovering. Ariel took a seat and stretched her legs in a very unlady like manner, earning a strained cough from the maid. "Honestly, what am I going to do with you lady Ariel? We cannot have you behaving like that! As one of our shop's main patrons your actions reflect onto our name and reputation. Please be more considerate of your status as one of the few remaining active frontliners." "One of the few remaining huh?" muttered the blonde while looking down, repeating the only part that got her attention. "What happened while I was away? Did... did people die?" she asked with a concerned look. Before she started guilting herself Claudia replied: "The last fights up there were very tough, I didn't receive any reports about casualties. But it seemed that a large portion of the clearing group was mentally drained after those fights. As I'm sure you can relate to that." she added with a piercing gaze.

The maid got closer and started rubbing her back in an attempt to comfort "Nobody is blaming you, yes people wondered what happened to you but right now I'm sure the frontlines are happy have someone who knows what they're doing back." Ariel had to admit, it was nice spending time like this and having someone by her side. "Keep this up and I think I might fall for you." she replied, smiling at the fact that her comment caught the maid off guard. She could feel she was all flustered as her face became red and her hand movement stopped for a second before becoming a little awkward. After taking a deep breath, the maid seemed to regained her composure and claimed: "If you're well enough to crack jokes, then let's get back to work! Your energy should have fully recovered by now!"

She thought that they would returned to the location where she defeated the stone snakes but that wasn't their stop, instead the maid guided them further inside the cave where the illumination was already starting to dim down. It looked like her small investment in the Night Vision skill was already starting to pay off as she could see her way without the aid of any kind of additional light, while the maid used a Glow Stick to navigate inside the cavern. Suddenly, the redhead came to a halt behind Ariel which didn't notice as she was too preoccupied looking around the cave's interior. She afterwards heard it too, the sound of multiple limbs scurrying on top of solid rocks. It was after concentrating on the source of the noise that she saw it. A massive beatle appeared from behind a rock on the ground. The blonde looked behind and charged it after she got a nod from her companion.

She usually wasn't disgusted with bugs and such but when you see something like a mutated bumblebee which is the size of a dog, coming towards you with the intent to end your existence... the blonde couldn't help and be creeped out by it. Keeping her distance, she took advantage of the large reach of her spear to deal damage from away. She would keep backing off with each step it would make towards her. "Stop right there!" came a command from behind and the blonde obliged, she already knew that she was backing off more than fighting the thing and Claudia didn't seem to approve.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted May 26, 2020 Author #19 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) And she was right, at this rate if Ariel kept backing off she would lose the mob's aggro its HP will replenish when it returned to its initial spawning point. So she made a mental effort to walk forwards, trying her best to dodge its multiple limbs that kept assaulting her. She felt a chill down her spine everytime she got hit and the feeling of disgust only spurred her onwards to finish off this thing as fast as possible. WIth newfound determination, she tried to cripple the mob by assaulting the source of her discomfort and slashed at the right side pair of legs. She was pleased to see her tactic work, the beetle tumbled to the side as half it lost half of the members supporting its body. Taking the opportunity, the blonde stabbed the overgrown bug and removed yet another significant chunk from its HP bar. She could swear she heard Claudia smirk behind her but didn't check to see for sure.

The made had finished writing something down over her HUD and was now watching the fight's final moments unfold. With the beetle's limbs still cut off, the blonde drew closer for the finishing blow. She thought about which sword art to use in order to finish this up. Luckily she had quite the varied repertoire. She'd reuse the lesser word art with which she killed the the previous snake; after a deep breath she performed a vertical sweep that separated the beetle's body into two half, effectively making it explode in pixels and lit the whole cave up for a brief moment. She used the recently aquired 'cat eyes' to spot the loot drops in the following darkness and let out a broad smile to see that it was similar to the last looting.
