Dameon

It was a bit of a cruel joke really for Kayaba to make the floor following the winter wonderland of floor 4 a desert. Though Dameon was always one quick to adapt as he trekked out along the dunes of sand that reminded him of his time in the US military prior to moving to Japan and settling down. He would scan the horizon and check his map as he made his way to a re-spawning field boss that he had heard about form one of the info brokers. He kepts his all black attire on, already used to such heat and the hood and cowl protected him from both the sun and the sand as he reached the peak of a dune easily able to spot another player in the distance since there was little to no obstructions. He paid it no mind and would continue to do so unless they just happened to be going to the same area. He started to slowly drink a bottle of water as he slid down the sand dune to where he thought the monster he would be fighting would spawn. Before he reached the bottom though he put away the bottle of water and grabbed himself one of the potions he had purchased earlier mitigation -9 potion. According to the info on the boss it was all he would need to solo it in time.

Taking this :)

Dameon had managed to dodge the goblin's own attack relatively easily. He had simply stepped out of the way of the attack not seeing a point to parry the attack. The attacked had been almost close enough to graze his shirt which was much closer than what he was used to on the lower levels. It seemed now he had to start stepping up his own game. Dameon ran forward once again with his long one handed sword trying to catch the goblin off guard yet again with another attack from his sword. Dameon would perform the same sword skill as before hoping to hit and kill it.

The goblin would take a lot of damage from the enemy in all black having been completely caught off guard by just how long of a sword that the enemy had. The goblin would be hit hard enough to be sent back a couple feet. The goblin would attempt a counter attack however the man in front of him was much more agile than he had suspected with such a large sword and his own attack had missed. It appeared as if the man in black was preparing for yet another attack as well.

Dameon was still on floor six wandering around mapping the area for the hell of it and trying to decide on a place to farm some mobs for col and mats. Even though he still had quite a bit of mats left he knew that he would end up needing more sooner than later. He sighed as he pressed on through the dense Jungle until he came about what appeared to be on old destroyed town that was overrun with blade wielding goblin like creatures. To his benefit he couldn't see anyone else around either. This was likely the spot that he wanted to be in. He tossed a rock at on goblin that become angry and attacked Dameon would attack as well. Using a sword skill he loved a lot <<Vertical Arc>> to deal a lot of damage to the goblin.

Dameon opened up his menu and went through his items and grabbed another bag of Col with 750 in it so he could purchase the mitigation potions. "I understand, you seem fairly busy especially since the next tier of items became available just a few days ago," Dameon said through his cowl as heplaced the money on the counter and picked up the mitigation potions. Ultimately they would do similar things just slower.

Dameon was also caught off guard for the moment when he saw the man there along the river bank resting. It wasn’t difficult to see that the man in front of him was a much higher level. ‘Oh so that is what happened to the mobs’ or at least that was what he would assume, after all the man look exhausted and had resorted to sitting in mud to relax. His gear was the biggest give away that he was a higher level and as a tailor himself he knew the man was at least nine levels above him. Dameon would continue walking toward the man his own gear crafted by his own hand as well as ordered from elsewhere and also unique at least cosmetically. “So what brings someone of your level down to floor six?” Dameon asked cutting to the point as he checked his map realizing it was all mapped out now that he had moved forward at least for the jungle they were both in. Dameon was curious to the man’s response that would be the best way to tell of the man’s level as well as his intent, though the green gem was also a relief seeing as he wasn’t a player killer, or at least not anymore.

Dameon walks back in to the store he had visited not so long ago. He looked once again over the wares that were available and waited for the owner. The last time he had been there he had placed a large bulk order but now he had already used up some of those items and needed a few more to replenish his inventory. He walked to the counter once he knew what he wanted.

"I was hoping to get 2 +3 Damage potions (tier 1) and 1 damage mitigation -9 potion and 1 damage mitigation -27  potion. I Just need to know how much first," Dameon said feeling a bit odd that he couldn't understand her pricing chart nearly as well as the others.

Dameon was tired of this fight and had been for a while now. Dameon didn't care if he had gotten hit on the gemini's prior attack and instead ran at him his sword changing colors as he prepared to use <<Vertical Arc>> against the opponent. This would kill him for sure and it was something he knew for a fact, so long as the RNG gods were in his favor. Dameon performed the attack the V being carved onto the Gemini's chest. The Gemini would howl before it exploded into fragments of data that evaporated in the air. Dameon sheathed his weapon in his cloak to be unseen as the menu popped up with his reward and his level increases.

Gemini had managed to survive another turn of being attacked brutally by Dameon. To be honest he had no idea how lucky he had to be for the paralysis to wear off twice before the speedy man could cut him down. Cardinal must have been attempting to make the fight harder for him since he was a higher level than required for the actual quest. Gemini supposed he could understand that as Dameon dodged his counter attack yet again as if he expected such a weak attack to land. If only he had an accuracy increasing skill he wouldn't have to worry about such things. 

Dameon came down with a strike but the effect of the stun had already worn off. Dameon swore again as he missed his attack and the Gemini rolled out of the way of the attack. During the roll he slashed out to try and deal some damage. Dameon saw this and simply jumped over the large blade avoiding being hit by the opponents attack. Dameon was becoming quite annoyed now, this fight could have been over by now but the RNG was not in his favor and it was annoying him.

Dameon had landed his attack yet again, this time it was a powerful uppercut which sent the gemini flying backwards and onto the ground paralyzed. The Gemini would swear in much of the same manner Dameon would. The gemini could not move as he wondered if the battle had finally come to an end. Though the last time he had been attacked while stunned the effect had worn off sooner. Though it looked like Dameon had learned his lesson as he was already hovering over the gemini to finish things once and for all.

Dameon had easily avoided the Gemini's follow up attack. Both of them looked like they had been fighting a while, exhausted but pushing on none the less as if nothing could stop either on of them. The difference he was that they both knew Dameon could now end this whenever he wanted and there wasn't much of anything he could do about it. Dameon's speed and evasion were so good even if the gemini tried to run he would be cut down in the process. Both of their sword of course were huge much like Hellion was anyways, it made it harder to avoid attacks. Dameon ran at the gemini again and attacked delivering the <<Uppercut>> sword skill paralyzing  the gemini again

The Gemini had been struck yet again and took yet another chunk of damage. He knew very well Dameon had the potential to kill him with that last attack but he hadn't. Perhaps it was because he had run out of energy, or so the gemini had thought at least. Even though he had been struck the gemini turned around and swung his blade, fueled by anger and rage, not wanting to accept defeat so easily yet knowing he stood no chance against this foe. Perhaps if the man in black had been less gear focused and more skill focused he would have stood a chance but this was not the case. Dameon had once again dodged the attack by simply bending out out of the way and not making a complete effort to care.

Dameon yawned as he looked at his HUD that popped up with the experience gain and his level up showing as he advanced yet again. Next the quest complete screen appeared and he wasn't exactly ecstatic about what he had gotten for it. Dameon re-ordered his items around and put his sword back away into the cloak that should no way hide such a large weapon. Dameon already started walking back toward the village again leaving Helios to himself. Dameon waved his hand back as a parting gesture not wanting to rest as he prepared himself to jump up a few floors after realizing he was a little too strong for this area now.

"Grats on not dying I'm going to floor six for a day or so," Dameon said as he continued the trek down the mountain the mobs that were normally around the boss beginning to spawn again. Dameon would have no problems with them but he could just absorb all the damage if they attacked.

Dameon was running low on energy now which was not a good sign but it would not stop them from winning this fight. Dameon watch Helios just barely miss his attack. It had appeared that the ice giant was starting to regain its footing and was moving just enough to keep it a challenge. That was more than what could be said about the boss wolf he used to just push off the cliff to kill. It seemed that their AI for higher monsters were indeed better. Dameon couldnt help but praise Kayaba but enough was enough. He knew he couldn't kill the monster but he could weaken it further so even a normal attack could end things. Dameon ran forward his sword turning green as he jumped off the monster and performed the sword skill <<Snake Bite>> on the monsters face hoping to knock it off balance. The attack landed leaving a large scar and making the monster off balance.

Dameon swore to himself again under his breath as he had another lapse in judgment. He wasn't giving the situation enough caution even though he knew he was nearly impossible to kill at least in the gemini's eyes. Yet if this was a stronger opponent he would be making too many mistakes to even deserve living. He sighed stepped back a good ten paces from the enemy as he calmed himself so he could go back into doing what he had been doing earlier which was more or less a rope'a dope. Dameon ran in again and attacked hoping to connect.

Dameon watched as Helios joined him in finally landing damage on the large field boss. Apparently his plan to back it up against the cliff edge was working. Now they were finally doing some damage to the damn thing. Dameon avoided another attack but it was a combo he hadn't seen yet and the large creature did a straight punch. The punch connected smacking into Dameon and pushing Dameon back against the we ground a few feet as he absorbed the impact of the hit. Though his posture stayed the same as if he wasn't surprised at all. It was apparent in this moment that Dameon gave no regard to his own life at all. Instead he stepped forward and performed the same sword skill on the monster that he had done last time. The damage causing enough damage to hack off the limb as it shattered into fragments.

Dameon had miscalculated where he had placed his hand and the Gemini only had to turn the blade and slide it out to do damage on Dameon even if it was only a little bit to the hand. The whole process though had also caused Dameon to miss his attack. The Gemini and Dameon would both step back to regroup before one of them inevitably went back in for another attack. The gemni knew he couldnt kill Dameon but it was not in his programming to simply give up. He knew the damage he could do and realized even if he performed a sword skill assuming he could know when he would hit Dameon it would all be blocked or not do enough to matter.

Dameon looked up and watched Helios perform his attack attempt of avalanche but it had missed the moment the large boss had moved to try and turn around. Dameon could see and get an idea of just what it was doing, the AI became clearer to him from his experience as professional gamer. Suddenly this beast to him was no longer a monster that could end their lives it was nothing more than a video game character that was meant to die and had already died many times by now. Dameon smirked as he kicked up off the ground mid slide and his sword lit up with a sword skill as he attacked with a vertical arc carving a large V in the ice on its chest.

Dameon had gotten too arrogant and that had hurt him. Not only had he missed the attack on an all too easy victim but he had also taken his first bit of damage from this opponent. Though he was glad to see it had barely touched him it could have still been deadly if he had been on a higher floor. He swore as the slice showed on his own chest. Dameon grabbed the sword and attacked again hoping to make it harder for the Gemini to move or dodge. He aimed for the creatures chest in a stabbing motion.
