[SP:18] Scouting the 18th Floor


Recommended Posts

Teayre watched as the last Spartan fell dead, the doors before her opened up. Stepping through them the red head made her way onto the eighteenth floor. As she looked around as far as she could see was a forest before her. It almost reminded the girl of the swampy floor below. However instead of mangroves it was birch trees. Her feet began to trudge through the soft grass, squelching as they pressed against the mud that seeped over her boots.  Looking up all she can see is dark clouds above her, a small patch of sun before it disappeared again. “This floor… The darkness…” She muttered quietly to herself before walking forwards. Coming to a river Teayre looks up and down it trying to see if there is a way ford it before stepping through. Unable to find a bridge she sighs, and trudges through the murky waters that came up to her hips.

As she waded through the water, the red head looked up and spotted some movement in the trees ahead. A few wolves had already sniffed her out and began howling. Sighing Teayre shoots forwards her blade drawing spinning in two half circles she cuts the four wolves down. Not before they had dug their own claws into her though. Letting out a small gasp before her flames clawed back at them burning them eradicating them with her half circles. “Gen Getsu.” She mutters under her breath. “It’s been a while since I’ve used you.” Glancing up Teayre looks at the dark rolling clouds, no sun light breaching them. The murk that covered the floor caused a smile from the red head. “So this is darkness.” She grinned, “It’s nice. It’s good.” She says quietly. Savouring the light wind that breathed across her taking the mugginess of the floor away. As she stood on the bank, the girl looks around trying to see where to go next.

The sound of howling from the distance reached her. The girl couldn’t help but smile, there seemed to be more wolves in this swampy forest than there were on the first floor. “I should go back to my original idea and get a wolf for a familiar…” She mused quietly her mind casting back to when Lawfer had abandoned her when she had taken the quest on the 15th floor. “I wonder.” She says quietly before breaking into a sprint heading straight towards the howling. As she arrived she leant against a tree, looking over one of the narrower rivers where an old bridge was sat, the timber appeared to be rotten. Another four wolves were opposite her all much larger than before. Their grey coats shimmering in the dim light. Stepping onto the bridge it creaked as the wood began to take her weight. She pushed off carrying herself over it her blade drawing. However she came to a halt a short distance from the wolves as they did her.

The wolves had surrounded Teayre and leapt in towards her. Unable to do anything the girl parried the attacks. Spinning and twirling doing everything needed to avoid being killed. Sparks flew as her katana met their teeth. She wasn’t able to get an attack off, her energy draining. Jumping backwards Teayre manages to manoeuvre onto the bridge. Goading them towards her. The larger one leaps over the stream, and lands at the other end of the bridge. “Great.” Teayre mutters sarcastically before closing her eyes. Casting her mind back to when she was in stick situations previously the red head had found that she was often trying to survive by killing first. Swallowing she opened her eyes. “Time for a new tactic” she says and begins stands on the broken, water logged rail of the bridge. “Come and get me.” Jumping she lands in the water. The wolves howled following her.

Teayre didn’t hesitate as she hit the water jumping up she spam her blade lighting up as her sword art Iai activated. Cutting through each of the wolves in one smooth motion the girl  landed bank on the bank. Looking at the window she sighed, as she didn’t receive much in the way of loot. “Although that’s to be expected, they’re just paltry trash.” She wanted something more. No she craved it. Grinning she looked around this floor was exciting her. An archway could be seen not far away. “The Tower.” Teayre says, running towards it the girl presses on the door pushing it open. “Now to find the boss room.” The easy bit was done. She now needed to locate the boss room, and without any of the dungeon mapped out it was going to be a hard slog. Her blade back in its sheathe at her hip she set off.

The cold walls of the dungeon were high around her, long white crystal like trees lining the paths. Teayre kept her eyes out for mobs however they were all keeping quiet it seemed. As she pressed her foot down a loud clanking sounded. “What the?” She asked before jumping back, narrowly avoiding an axe that swung across in front of her face. “Seriously?” She mutter before rolling her eyes, “Why am I not surprised Kayaba. So standard a trap in an RPG.” As she looks ahead Teayre spots some Kobold sentries into front of her. “Wolves, now Kobolds? It does sound like the first floor all over again as a swamp.” Without hesitating the girl dashed forwards her blade drawing , <<Charge>> skill activating as she uses her beloved Haku Senpu. The wind whipped around her knocking the kobolds flying as they burst into pixels. “Can’t waste much more time. Who knows what else is around here.” She mutters quietly to herself.

Without waiting Teayre continues to shoot along the corridors, her head turning left and right as she dismisses several turning before finally making a sharp right. Not stopping she draws the Muramasa and cuts the Giant Kobold and three of its subordinates in front of her clean into two. She let out a gasp of pain however as they each manage to score a hit on the girl causing her flame thorns to activate burning their pixels to a crisp as she finishes landing. Looking ahead Teayre had reached a T-junction. Unsure of which way to go she opens her inventory and takes a single coin of col out. Placing it on her fist she flicks it up in the air. “Heads I go left.” She says catching it in the air and slapping it onto the back of her other hand. As she removes her hand the shape of a lion’s tail appears beneath it.

“So I guess I’m going right then.” Teayre mumbles to herself as she looks at the lion’s tail that lies below the palm of her hand. Looking down the red head spots a small alcove on her right and two door on her left. Without hesitation she kicks the first door open and walks into a room with seven pillars in, each inscribed with a different animal. “Well now….” Clicking her tongue the girl begins to trace the hilt of her blade with her fingers. “Right.” Stepping up she looks and inspecting each of the pillars, the girl finds they all have a roman numeral on them. I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII. “One to Seven Eh?” She begins to walk from pillar to post pressing the numbers in order. As she presses the last one a satisfying click comes from the wall opposite the two doors. “Well now,” she says walking forwards and finding a material in a hidden compartment. “Not a bad find at all.”

Her hands running along the back of the compartment she had just found Teayre presses a small button. Jumping back, she begins to breath heavily as the heavily slabs of stone in front of her begin to move. “So what’s going on here.” She manages to get out. As the hidden door finally slides out of her way. Teayre steps through to see a pool of water, at the bottom of the pool a green glint could be seen. Looking around to make sure there were no more mobs around the girl keeps her blade tightly sheathed before diving in. Her muscles aching as she hit the chilly water. She begins to go straight to the bottom of the pool and towards the green glint. Luckily it wasn’t just a fake and Teayre was able to scoop up a handful of the stuff before pushing and kicking back to the surface.

As she broke the surface of the water Teayre began to gulp in air. Her wet hair plastered to her face she begins to slowly paddle across to the edge and pulls herself out of the pool. “Hopefully this will be something useful.” She mutters as she begins to look through the handful of items that she had just grabbed. One of the items as she inspected it appeared to be a fake, nothing worth using carelessly she tosses it over her shoulder letting it plop into the pool again. She looked back and the door she had entered through was now shut. Sighing the girl glances up at her energy bar and sees that it has just about fully regenerated. “Good time to kill some more mobs.” Smiling she leaves through the door to the east pressing against it she steps through it, to only have shivers sent down her spine from several ghostly howls.

As her eyes looked over what was creating the howls Teayre couldn’t help but laugh. Four wolf pups were sat in front of her. Their howls however changed quickly to growls as their noses twitched and they saw her. Grinning she charges forwards cutting the four in a single movement. “Iai. Such a simple attack and yet. Devastating.” She mutters looking at the pixels floating in the air towards the ceiling. “Still no closer to finding this boss room though. Guess I’ll need to thin the guards out a bit more.” As she moved to go down the corridor a door to her left shone and opened. “Well perhaps not that way.” Turning she enters, only to see two pillars set back into Alcoves. “I wonder.” She muses quietly looking around the room she spots the tribal art work on the pillars  and gently runs her fingers over them before stepping away.

As she finished inspecting the pillars there was another even louder howl from behind her. “So here’s their parents.” Four large wolves now padded in. Their hackles all raised. The low growl from them told Teayre that they knew that she had just killed their beloved kin. “Get over it.” She mutters, before starting her attack. Shooting forwards her blade drawing across the large bodies she lands again sheathing her blade. Teayre looks at the floor of the room she’s in and a large tribal pattern can be seen stretching from the pillars and up and over the large double doors set in between the two alcoves. “They probably open that. How do I activate it though?” The red head quietly muses sitting down nestling her back against the wall as she looks around the room. “I wonder.” Her knees are bent as she drums her fingers on them. “What can I do?”

Teayre looked up as blood began to drip down from the ceiling. The wolves’ pixels hadn’t quite dissipated yet. Her eyes narrowed as the drip turned into a stream and landing in the centre of the room began to fill up various cracks within it. The blood was seeping towards the pillars Teayre was holding her breath as she waited to see what was happening. The blood began to wind its way up the pillar causing the dungeon to shake as she slowly stood up. The door between the pillars began to open. “So what’s inside you I wonder.” Peering carefully, her right hand gripped around her sword. “So… Let’s do this.” Stepping forwards a loud roar came from within the doors as one of solid stone doors where smashed down and a giant brown bear stood on its hind legs a good twenty feet in the air. “Well, at least it’ll be a fair fight.”

The bear charged at her Teayre didn’t hesitate either. Meeting eyes she waited for the bear. The beast was almost on top of her when she rolled forwards, her battle healing causing a soft white yellowish glow around her as her health restored itself. “Is that all you can do?” She taunts the bear before beginning her sword art. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated.  Zekkai. The blade drawn straight along the bear’s flank from its rear to its snout. Flicking the muramasa with all her might at the end Teayre destroys the bear. Peering through the door it had come from there appeared to be several twisting chambers leading down. “I need to hurry.” She whispers quietly to herself. Without hesitating the girl heads off. Small drips could be heard all around her. The darkness started to deepen even more, the low ambient glow gave enough light to fight in but not much else.

In the darkness Teayre swallowed. Openning her inventory she equipped two of her best items for finding things. Finder’s Keepers and Searcher's Eye. Akuma’s Vein and her Finding stone went to her inventory. Suddenly the area around her lit up. Smirking to herself Teayre knew she was on the right track. “Finally. Something’s going well.” As she plodded along, she drummed her fingers on her thigh. Keeping her eyes peeled for mobs as well as materials she found the silence bar the dripping chilling. It sent shivers down her spine and caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up on end. “Seriously, I wonder what this boss is going to be.” She thought back to the town that she had seen on the horizon. “Not that I could enter it anyway.” Shrugging she turned several more corners and found herself at a dead end. “Damnit.” She cursed.

Huffing Teayre turns on her feet, walking back the way she came the red head looks down one of the passage ways. “Maybe down here?” Running forwards the drips becoming louder the girl stops. In front of her was yet another pool. This one however looked much more naturally formed, there were blood stains along the cave walls, piles of fur had been shed around the cave and then moved to one side. “What could live here?” As if in answer to her question a loud splash came from the pool Teayre dove into a pile of fur and began to search through it. Finding a tusk she adds it to her inventory. “Guess it’s my lucky day for Materials.” Teayre says quietly. Peering out she watches as the beast in front of her walks around fur sopping wet. It begins to stroke it with its long claws. Pulling clumps out.

Gripping her weapon tightly. Teayre lets out a loud cry as she charges towards the creature in front of her. It turns and quickly parries her initial strike. The red head grunts as she renews her attack. With one claw the beast manages to fend off the brunt of it, with its other it strikes the red head clean in the side. Grinning she activates her sword art San Ge. Six slashes. The glowing sword forming a six pointed star as she defeated her foe. Panting heavily Teayre doubles over, after several minutes she straightens up again and sheathes her blade. “Right then.” She glances over to the pool “Guess there’s only one way.” She takes a deep breath and dives head first into the water. With powerful strokes of her arms and legs she quickly speeds through the underwater tunnel and pops out the other side. Gasping for air.

As the sweet air filled her lungs Teayre began to slowly tread the water looking around moving forwards towards the ledge she lifts herself out of it. The dim glow of the dungeon was back and she couldn’t help but squint as her eyes adjusted to the light. Was that an altar ahead of her? She had to be sure. Keeping the Muramasa close to her hip Teayre ran forwards. As she got there in front of her was indeed an altar. A four stepped pyramid was in front of her. Torches at each level on each corner. At the very top was a pedestal that seemed to have several deep brown stains on. Slowly she began to climb the altar. As she reached the top she knelt down and inspected the side of the intricate art work. “First Norse and now Mayan.” She mutters, “What’s going on with this dungeon.”

As she was inspecting the artwork on the pedestal a low grumbling came from around the room. Her fingers gently running over the jewels. Taking the muramasa Teayre places it next to one of the gems in line with the socket, applying pressure to the hilt she quickly pops the sparkling crimson garnet out of its socket in the altar. Smiling she sheathes the blade and swipes the material into her pocket. “Right then. Boss room time.” Jumping down she can hear a crackling coming from the passageway in front of her. Gently jogging forwards the red headed girl spots a small lava pool. It was almost like the one she had seen when she had been fighting the Pyro Scuttler with Oikawa back on the second floor, yet it seemed hot. More fierce. Keeping her weapon close she slowly edges her way around the pool. Before making it to the other side.

Glancing to her left and right there were two guards by this door. She didn’t have a choice drawing her blade Teayre dances and quickly cuts the kobold guards with Sinonome. The three strikes combined with her battojutsu, caused the guards to disperse before they could even land a hit on her. Walking through the archway she is faced with a tunnel with much like an ant hill. Pressing her hands against the wall she taps at the sides of them listening to the echo’s before deciding to head down one of the right. The dripping got even louder, as well as the temperature rose very high. She could feel the sweat slowly running down her forehead and dripping off. Reaching up the girl wipes the sweat from her forehead. “Great. Just what I needed.” She mutters sarcastically as the tunnel’s darkness envelops the girl. The sound of her boots clacking on the floor is all that reached her ears.
