[BR-F25] Paving the Way to Floor 26 [Shadow, the Malevolent]


Recommended Posts

The paladin's motivation overtook her hurt spirit. Up until this point, she had solely relied on the fact that nothing was capable of breaching her defenses. It was an idiotic assumption to believe that she would be invincible in this situation and she'll kick her own ass when this is all over. Even still she had a job to do, but she would need to recover first. Summoning one of the healing crystals she was supplied with, a wave of freshness overcame her, closing the gapping wound in her chest ever so slightly.

The tendrils of darkness that washed over every party chilled Yuki down to her core. What sort of monster was this? Unlike any other she had seen since she began her journey in Aincrad. However, if she didn't focus now and put her mind on what was in front of her she was going to see the end of the road for her journey, and all that road has at the end is a cliff.

The bright frozen-burning aura around Yuki melted the shadows into a goo at her feet. Little did she know that was just coincidental timing on her part, but it still rallied her spirit. The paladin shined like a lighthouse over the foggy ocean - like the north star on a pitch black night. Yuki gritted her teeth and yelled out at the top of her lungs. "Whatever you say will not tarnish my spirit! Your deception is nothing but gasoline to the fire that is my beating desire! You hide in the darkness like a coward while forcing others to do your bidding, nothing but a mice amongst lions! You have no right to analyze us!"

The comment of Bahr's girlfriend had caught her attention, or at least had made her double-take when it was said to Crozeph. Her eyes trained to Bahr and gave the man a smiled. She had no who his girlfriend was- Wait, now that it had come to her, she remembered seeing her at the boss meeting thread. They quested once, Lessa was her name? "Bahr! Don't let his pitiful excuse of a jest cloud your thoughts. He's a rat looking to get under your skin and kill you from the inside! When we've sent this demon back to hell, you will see Lessa again!"

The pinkette turned her head back to the minotaur, raising her gleaming sword to him. "Time to put an end to this! Someone switch with me! I need time to heal back up!" The paladin charged forward at high speed, slashing to no effect. Practically no damage, but that was the essence down of Yuki's capabilities. She always bit back when things bit her.

“I’ve noticed that you haven’t struck the minotaur a single time. Why is that?” 

It was cold. The shadows had coalesced into a sort of viscous sludge, swirling about Bahr and tugging at the peripherals of his coat. While the physical discomfort threw him off balance, it did not sting so much as the Shadow's taunting. It wasn't enough that Bahr was failing - the Shadow had made it its mission to highlight his shortcomings and bring them to the forefront. As the obsidian liquid oscillated about in revolting fashion, Bahr hung his head shamefully. 

“Is it all a part of your plan, or are you simply failing yet again? Failing, just like you failed to protect your friend from that goblin? Just like you failed to protect your girlfriend from me?”

Like a jolt of electricity, the true meaning of the words surged inward from all of Bahr's extremities to his core, then raced along his spine and straight through the top of his skull. Everything became hazy as he did everything in his power to inhibit his natural inclination to rush headlong into the heart of the darkness and square off against the heinous creature himself. To seize the Shadow by its neck and thrash it against every surface in the arena until nothing remained. Or were the welling tears in his eyes the culprit of his vision loss? Try as he might to understand, or decipher, or comprehend, he couldn't. 

The anger was the first thing he felt. Bubbling like a witch's cauldron, hot and unyielding, its ingredients hatred and unbridled contempt. As the concoction stewed, new ingredients entered the mix. Dismay. Regret. A fear unlike anything he'd ever felt. He himself had been on the brink of death before. He'd witnessed firsthand Lessa in an identical situation. None of it compared to the cocktail of dread he currently felt. Though, through all of it, the most familiar of the emotions roiled to the surface. A lens through which he was comfortable expressing the tension. 

Rage.

Eventually, he felt its heat in the palm of his hand. His eyes, both dyed in scarlet, flickered to the source of the numb throbbing it produced. Without having noticed, he'd charged up a Sword Art. How long its high pitched whine had been humming away was lost on him. Its crimson glow bathed the surrounding liquid darkness that had now gone tepid in an unsettling mosaic that only seemed to stretch its unnatural shadows further and further the brighter Dawn's Demise became. Smoky obsidian tendrils crept along the blade as streaks of ivory shot back and forth, both the weapon and its owner unsure which myriad of explosive energy to unleash upon the poor, misguided entity. Whatever moisture had filled his eyes moments before, too, had been boiled away.

Somewhere nearby, he vacantly heard someone trying to get his attention. Trying to tell him it would all be alright. But he was fixated on the steam that now rose from his glove, the odor it carried that of scorched fabric and flesh alike. Absently, he wondered how many health points were being wafted away with the smoke. There was no pain or buzz to accompany the damage - only the numbness that had pervaded his every pore since the initial jolt had passed. Twin fiery orbs remained fixated on this steam as though his life depended on it. And in a way, it did. Somehow, amid the violence and carnage and yelling and everything else that had filled the chamber with chaos, the self destructive burn was the only thing that kept him grounded. That reminded him that doing what he wanted to do would only lead to further self destruction.

And oh, did he want to do it. He'd held onto this Sword Art far beyond typically allowed. The burn was there to remind Players to allow the system to take them through the motion, else the Sword Art would be wasted. No doubt it was a powerful one. Bahr half expected that, should he find his mark against the Shadow's neck with an attack like this, he'd watch its head skitter across the shattered floor. His eyes left Dawn's Demise and slowly searched the darkness beyond, a dual red glow that could bring a ship to port in a storm. If the Shadow was there, it was imperceptible. There was nothing he wanted more than to follow through with this desire, even in knowing the inherent danger and risk it presented.

Nothing, except to make sure she was okay.

"Floor Seven," he breathed, voice barely audible to even himself. "She said she was going to be on Floor Seven today."

Finally, the glow subsided. The steam perished. Crimson flooded from his left eye, and he was left with the typical Christmas combination he'd come to be known for. One shaky hand reached into his coat pocket and produced a rectangular azure crystal. He stared at it for a moment, wondering if what he was about to do was the right thing. Would he really forsake the Frontlines, and the party that relied on him, for the sake of hearsay issued by a floor boss that was almost certainly contorting Bahr's whims to fulfill its twisted machinations?

Yes.

"Teleport, Nimbus," he finally announced, waiting to be whisked away in the following seconds. Instead, he was greeted with panel, heralding an insidious message.

What?

As his eyes repeatedly scanned the alert and burned its words into his mind, he could not fathom, nor comprehend, how this was the case. Nonfunctional? Was this also the Shadow's doing?

"Teleport, Florenthia." He'd use the stairs. If that was what needed to happen, then it was what he would do.

 

nonfunctional.png

 

Again. This was no accident. Something was going on.

"We're trapped," Bahr said aloud, as though anyone in his vicinity was actually listening. "Something's happening to the rest of the castle. The Teleport Gates are cut off." 

He dismissed the panel, eyes blank, mentally searching for any alternative to ascertain his love's wellbeing. After a moment of contemplation, an epiphany arrived. He summoned his menu, the typical chimes drowned out by the ensuing noise that encircled him, and immediately navigated to the friend list panel. He scrolled until he found Lessa, tapped on her name, then breathed a sigh of relief.

It was there. Her location data. She wasn't gone.

Immediately, the rage burst to the surface once more. The Shadow had lied to him. Referenced the passing of his best friend, then transitioned straight into a threat on Lessa's life. It was inexcusable. The tension had grown so powerful that it locked Bahr in place, frozen like a statue, unable to heed his instructions to charge forth and annihilate everything before him. But the moment Bahr took his first step, he knew it be over for everything that stood in his path.

The Shadow had just tapped into a fury of which it could not comprehend. Bahr wasn't sure how it knew the things that it did, but clearly it hadn't been paying enough attention. It would be smote by Bahr's righteous opposition the moment it reared its grotesque head for the chopping block.

Beat listened to the shadow who seemed to be trying to orchestrate the battle indirectly through coercion and deceit. Even what he seemed to be alluding to was true, it wouldn't make sense to trust him. Still, his words seemed to have an impact as the attempt at purification was made. Beat shot a glance towards @Shield as he was quickly reminded of the issues that occurred during the Elven Council fight. He had done his best to forget that some p-layers on the frontlines had forgotten that the npcs, monsters and bosses in the game were just data. 

Can you blame someone for losing perspective though? We've been here for so long...

Beat's spear began to glow as he eyes his target, charging towards the minotaur and releasing another barrage of strikes, his form multiplying and seeming to strike from a multitude of angles all at once. The young player took note of where he had struck and returned back to the safety of his party.

It was quite irritating to hear Shadow talk about so many things but it was understandable. "Those who like to sit on the back can only talk while the ones in the front do all the hard work" he muttered under his breath. He was still behind Yuki, his arms stretched forward, ready to cast a healing skill for her or everyone in the party. Yuki used one crystal already and if he uses a heal it would secure her on the safest spot they could make in terms of health points. 

Lots of comments about the players, what is this fight even? master chef? next top model? got talent? the list could go on but the azure-eyed player bit his tongue, there's a job to do and he needs to heal everyone now just to make sure. "shadows are approaching..." he felt wary of the shadows closing on one of his teammates, Bahr. It was a heavy blow to mention his girlfriend, Crozeph knew, he'd be losing the remaining sanity he had if he lost Yuki but not today and never will. "You might wanna make your insults a few levels higher, not even close to what George Carlin would spit," he told the Shadow with a smirk on his face. Crozeph's hand began glowing white and soon enough, a white band of light appeared around his party. 

Crozeph hand stopped glowing after the band of light disappeared and his stretched out hand was now clenched, with a middle finger for at the Shadow.

Your gentle wishes haunt me, I hear you calling...

Mari grit her teeth, why? Why was he targeting all the other players, taunting them? Fiddling with them - casting their shadows in whatever way he saw fit. Granted- one of which was Oscar wearing what appeared to be a frilly maid dress - Mari wasn't sure, the amalgamation of darkness was ever shifting, like a carpet of fetid maggots - and it was a struggle to see any clear picture.  Mari took a cursory glance over her shoulder at the Shadow. "Tch." It had...for the most part been ignoring her. But - in all honesty, that was for the best, right? Mari didn't care about its useless taunts. They had no real effect on her - but...what about the others? Concern filled drifting azure orbs as they danced over each player within her party. Their health had began to dwindle. Why was hers fine? Why was she left untouched? Unbidden? - wasn't she the one who had caused the most suffering here? THe player with the most sins crawling on their back? How was this fair? The one who didn't want to exist? When everyone else here had someone, something to fight for and waiting for them on the outside - why was she the outlier? Mari forced her eyes shut. Guilt ebbed at her, it seemed almost comical. Even now , in the heat of battle. Mari felt like she was just...there. Floating, existing, and yet not - at the same time. What a strange feeling. She felt as though she could walk away from the field, and narry a single person would blink an eye. How easy would it be to just keep wandering till she found the edge.


Each night I try to sleep - but I'm falling, failing.
 

But....if she did that, others would surely die. Another gaze at the health bars of her comrades, and Mari noted that the friend she held closest to hear heart was in trouble, his health bar blinking a warning yellow. Mari pulled out a crystal, and crushed it in her hands.

"There." Mari opened the palm of her hand and let the remnants of the crystal scatter across the unseen wind, sprinkled and glittering - the orange sands rested gently upon @Macradon's taught muscular arms - as his skin leeched in the soothing dust - his HP bar increased, but no - that wasn't enough. "It's about time I did some healing for a change." Mari breathed as she extended her arm high above her head, and with a twirl of her wrist - the members of her party all recovered 20% of their initial HP.

She noticed @Bahr miss again, and winced. The frustration and guilt he must be feeling...should she reach out to him? Say something? Mari chewed on her lower lip. What would the point be. He'd probably think she was just...tricking him or something. Mari's eyes widened then narrowed when she saw the shadows circling him like predator to prey. Fuck it. Let him be pissed at her. Mari had stopped begining to care what others thought.

With sure and steady steps Mari approached Bahr, unceremoniously stomping hard on any shadow her feet had the pleasure of stamping out - till she stood in front of Bahr. Mari tilted her head to the side, already, that confidence was fading. She chewed her inner cheek. Shit. What was she supposed to say to him? Mari was terrible at rousing words. She thought they were stupid. So, instead of saying anything, Mari simply reached out and gave him two small pats on the shoulder.

Pat-pat.

Everyone else was fighting, everyone else was doing their best. Even if Mari didn't entirely agree with healing or trying to purify Orgoth, she understood the desire to protect life, and couldn't fault anyone for trying. 

All she could do, was stand by - and wait.

“The limit of my powers?”

The ex-Paladin turned his attention from Bahr to the boss. “You truly believe that you’ve figured me out? That you have even the slightest idea what is actually happening right now? You stand there, so cocksure, insisting you’ve seen it all. You think you know what I’m capable of? You know nothing.” 

A small smirk appeared on his own face. "You're right. I know nothing at all. I'm just some ant that just aimlessly found myself unlucky enough to face you." He slid his weapon into its sheath. "The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows. You may be that shadow. However... that means in this metaphor we are the light!" The flame and void swirled inside of him. He allowed his mind to enter a state of complete focus and he became invisible to his own feelings and thoughts. His body and even the game would carry him through the motions, he just didn't need to let his thoughts get in the way. Even if just for a moment. 

Streaking across the battlefield, he unsheathed his weapon, his internal fire bursting as he followed through with a singular clean strike. Red shards poured from his victim which became consumed by his weapon. While normally he was a force of control, keeping his target down and unable to fight; now he was a force of self-sustenance. Dealing great damage while healing himself. 

He turned to his comrades. The tank had taken quite a few blows, but with the help of the party she was back in the safe. He looked to the man that had casted Field Medic prior. "You're also using katana, It siphons a lot of energy. This isn't the real boss, I'd quit attacking and save your energy for the real fight. We're going to be relying on your healing."

Shadow's taunts fell on deaf ears for the simple fact that Pinball found the AI talkative and obnoxious. 

Everyone seemed so focused on shelling out their life stories to this thing that it almost felt the cavernous void was full with the clashing of words rather than steel. Aggravating. Where he'd used to avoid the frontlines for fear of their "just retribution," now it was more because there was hardly a soul on the vanguard he could actually stand. People were egotistical. Stupid. Creatures of boring habit. It made him want to scream.

If these people were Aincrad's best, Aincrad's best were a joke, and he wanted out. But he still had something to fight for, so he couldn't leave.

His own hiding would have long since faded by now, so, with a practiced twirl of his weapon, Jack's Hellfire gave way to Cold Fervor. There would be no special tricks, no secret skills or traps that would come into play -- Pinball fell back on his old practice, his old style, and his old studied way of thinking. If there was an insurmountable creature to be fought, its strength oh so fearsome and absolute, Pinball would simply hit it until it died. 

A flash of light and flecks of snow would follow a flashy, blue and white assault. He could tell by the way his strikes registered on the animated minotaur that it was considerably sturdier than him (not that that was saying much), and that it was definitely built to handle a full raid team digging into it. It was strange, though. It must have a second phase. They'd barely started, and they'd already gotten it so low?

Orgoth’s twin axes came crashing down once more, the poor corrupted minotaur fueled by a shadowy rage that wasn’t quite his own. While the frontliners whittled away at its health, dropping it to a perilous low, Orgoth’s rampage ran them through, uninterrupted. The fighters’ attempts and pleas and all their blind gusto fell flat under the strength of the beast, whose inhuman power indiscriminately carved through armor like butter. Inky tendrils caressing its monstrous form, it seemed wholly focused on dissecting one pink paladin with two powerful chops… even to the point of ignoring the other attacking party altogether. Yuki would find that in an instant, her health had been reduced to little more than a fraction of what it had been a moment before. With any luck, it’d serve as a proper reminder for the mouthy tank to watch how she spoke to those above her. 

Bahr, spurred on by his imminent realization, quickly fumbled for a crystal to take him away from the locked, darkened chamber. But as he retrieved the teleportation stone, holding it triumphantly in the air, one thing would become immediately obvious: the crystal was dead. There were no sparkles on its surface, and no swirling light residing within its shining core. It was devoid of all color, siphoned of its mystical energies, a sickly, miasmic blackness crawling just beneath its surface. It wasn’t necessarily that its reception to a teleport gate was being blocked by The Shadow himself; in here, they just wouldn’t work at all. 

“Idiots~.” 

Where taunts and threats had fueled the atmosphere prior, now only a long, throaty chuckle resonated in the void surrounding them. Something very interesting had happened, hadn’t it? He wondered if the little realization would be enough to shatter their confidence. If so, maybe he should have revealed it sooner! The enigmatic figure did not speak with the same fervor with which he had before -- instead, he carefully chose to savor the chaos that was sure to ensue in the wake of their revelation. At least for the time being.

Oscar had tuned out the lion's share of the boss's gloating. There was just something about railing against a non-sentient entity that just didn't do it for him. So, instead, he focused on more tangible pursuits. Like continuing to heal Ariel who - at this point - was out of the danger zone. While Oscar was certain that another hit from Orgoth wouldn't absolutely demolish her, he wanted everyone to be as full as possible without overhealing them. Conscious of his energy value, he'd realized that the previous Field Medic had cost him almost the exact same amount of Energy as a full AoE cleave. Oscar simply couldn't sustain that level of healing output - least of all not without the literal mountain of Recovery foods that he had completely forgotten to add to his Battle-Ready.

Regardless, a single First Aid would get Ariel out of the danger zone and quell the "Friend Hurt" sensation that was radiating from his amygdala that was sparking over his brain. His hands took on a green glow as he approached Ariel. It wasn't until he was about to touch her and allow the healing energies to flow into her character that he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He quickly turned his gaze toward the thing. Then he froze for a moment.

It was him.

In a maid outfit.

And it was the sexiest goddamn thing he had ever seen in his life. His heart actually (not actually, his avatar was basically polygons) skipped a beat. He blinked once. Then twice. On some level, Oscar still hadn't forgotten that his goal was to heal Ariel. But it was purely subconscious in the face of this glorious sight. So, he did apply his hands to Ariel. Specifically, to her face. To push her out of the way so he could get to himself. As he stepped past Ariel, the mirage disappeared. Oscar frowned. Can't have nothing in this game!

But perhaps not. The Shadow had conjured this vision in an effort to mock Oscar. It had completely missed. Oscar may have not been able to add two more notches to his bedpost in some weird paradoxical mystic way, but he could definitely fuck with Shadow. Because that was his thing to the public at large. Jokes, memes, and hot dogs. Oscar grinned and looked up towards the ceiling at nothing in particular. He inhaled deeply and then bellowed:

"Joke's on you buddy! I'm into that shit!"

Because, honestly. If you don't have self-confidence, what do you really have? Is having the self-confidence to find yourself attractive enough to do bedroom stuff with not the goal? Oscar vaguely registered some noise about Teleport Crystals not working. Not entirely unexpected. But Oscar was confident. Not just in himself but in the fact that the group they had assembled was competent enough to not need to Teleport in the first place.

Vengeful Riposte Refreshed, Concentration CD [2/3]

A moment of pause, for something Bahr had discovered. The crystals had failed, and with it, they were trapped here? It seems the stakes had just turned up to 11. But a word spoken left a sour taste in his mouth. It was obvious it was addressing him, no other used that moniker here.  A step back and a twist of his head ever so slightly to his right. It was tilted as if he was second-guessing what he had just heard. “What did you just say?” Raidou asked Orgoth’s puppeteer. The world around him started to distort as his mind raced with thoughts of a little blue-haired girl wearing a smile. “Do you want to repeat that?” he goaded, ripping the glasses off his face, beneath those lenses that shackled him to his serenity. Oozing from his pores was a faint flicker of what was typically projected, his anger and this game’s form of drawing a creature’s attention. It was different in comparison to Raidou’s standard, it seemed thicker and wilder. “You have no right, you pile of filth. Claim whatever it is you want. Boast that we are the disease, and you know what. Fuck you.”
The nomad’s teeth dug clean into his cheek, he could feel him pulling a taste from the pressure. His glasses fall to the floor, exposing normally obscured amber eyes to plain view. Taking but a single step forward as he reaches into his pocket and removes a vial in black liquid and a single crystal. The healing crystal as given by Baldur, the other? A failed potion, it was food. Tightening the grip around both causes them to shatter as the glass cuts the surface of his hands. reversed fool.png Black like ink trickles down the back of his fist and with it a twisted showing of emotions better left hidden. “I wonder what sounds your bones make, how many times your head can turn around on your shoulders before it comes free. That little girl doesn’t deserve any of the shit this game put her through. You think I belong with the orange group, cute. They are redeemable, have a life that will continue on past this chamber.” barked out at a pace that sounds maniacal.
The black liquid drips down tapping softly on the rough stone beneath him. “Use your tricks, perform your taunts. They will outlive me. And you know why that is?” he asked rhetorically with a slight twist of his head to his left with a pivot. “Because when I die in here dragging your ass to hell, I’ll embrace it you egotistical sack of shit. Stop talking your trash and pick up arms.” Raidou leans low and with a slap of his hand across his face, that black ichor adheres in a sickly slosh as it connects. “Juiblex it's time for the big reveal. Let loose the dogs of war, let’s see what this bastard tastes like!” he yelps out as that red fume becomes like dry ice, parading in a thick fog around his feet in untempered hatred in excess. Drawing the Ebon Star up, that tar begins to take to cohesion. It forms a ragged array of serrated teeth that are obtuse and uneven. His skin takes on an organic thickness it what looks like syrup in its gloss. A sickening gurgle as it takes in his mouth and eyes. If pain were a thing in this place, it would seem almost as if it was being forced upon him. Staring back at the massive Orgoth is a creature fit to be his minion. But this one was insubordinate and wished to taste his skin for itself. Within a vacuum as both sprint and charge trigger, a reverberation and a vile hiss confirm a connection. And with that same breath, only a sliver of the red wanders health bar was missing.

Up62FMc.pngHello?

Um, hey, what the fuck?

 “Juiblex it's time for the big reveal. Let loose the dogs of war, let’s see what this bastard tastes like!”

 

She hadn't even had time to process the words of the boss above the scourge of noise their alliance had thrown up, right after she'd taken two steps back into the cloak of darkness herself. And immediately, when her mind returned to the battle -- what the intense fuck just happened to their party leader?

Was this normal? Tell her it was so. And then shell out the evidence, because NIGHT would never have believed any other player otherwise. This was, indeed, the same man who'd decided they forestall their strikes against the minotaur, now wrapping himself in a visage of shadows very much like the puppeteer of the boss itself? And it had teeth? What was it, a living parasite? Did he just smash open a potion bottle that contained such a beast within it, or was that but an enhancement to infuriate the strange monstrosity now eating Raidou alive?

Was this even legal by Cardinal's standards?

Probably not. But this past year had already been so goddamn weird, from the Sundered Spire to the mere appearance of her Gemini. These sorts of things might as well happen on a daily basis-- but NIGHT would still remain none the wiser even after her observation and conclusion.

It took her some time to recover from the shock. It took her even more to realize the boss had failed to properly register her both in its words and its strike, the pulse of damage neglectful of her own health bar as it rippled through her party members' instead. Little absence, she'd recalled the boss speaking, but only faintly so from the chaos of noise that their alliance had erupted with (of course they would, and the sounds could've bled her ears if they had that feature).

Well, if Orgoth missed her so much, she would grace it with her presence, then. A tear into reality, followed by the ugly splatter of liquid venom onto one of the minotaur's thighs. That downward cut along with its smear lasted but a second before fading away to Cardinal's tune. NIGHT retreated in a back-step, careful of shifting away from the capitalist psychopath.

No, she wanted none of that nonsense by now, if what was emanating from him wasn't instruction. She believed she had enough to toy with on her own plate.

"...more of Aincrad becomes... me." was the phrase that caught Ariel's attention. However she didn't have much time to rummage through its hidden meaning as the shadow seemed to target one its taunts at her. "Bring it!" she thought with a prideful and arrogant smirk. Taking advantage that she still maintained her parry stance, the blonde batted back at least half of the debris that came her way. "You seem to be yappin more than I do!" she stopped midway her intended reply as she heard a low chuckle.

Steeling herself to launch another attack, she nodded towards Oscar and offered a voiceless 'thanks' to the one who once again raised her health bar to a highly welcomed value. When she heard someone cry out that the teleport gates don't work, she pulled out her own crystal and saw that it was... unresponsive, no matter what she did. Their safety net had just been cut off but luckily the blonde took great pride in her abilities and had confidence in her team. Crystal still in hand, she turned towards the rest of her team and offered a cheeky sneer as she let it drop to the ground without a second thought.

"You're trying to silence me?! Crawl out of your damp hidey-hole and do it yourself, your minion here clearly can't." she claimed out loud derisively, still grinning as she pointed her weapon at Orgoth. Purification seemed to have failed and she would've plead to try it again when his HP drops in the red. but not anymore now that most, if not all the players were hellbent to kill the scout's saviour. She'll have to leave it to someone who is more influential to try to sway people into attempting it again. It tugged at her heart that she had to repay his sacrifice in this way and while it stirred some turmoil inside her, she was aware that the proud minotaur hero would probably prefer death over this kind of puppet existence... the lioness knew she would.

In that moment it clicked, this is what was going to happen if the minotaur wouldn't have tackled the shadow and she shuddered momentarily at the realization. "We came here well prepared to do something, the kiddy wheels are off now but we still need to accomplish our task. Whoever had some sort of change of heart, STAY OUT OF OUR WAYWelcome to the frontlines everyone!" she claimed for all to hear before dashing towards the only visible target with a predatory smile on her expression. Passing by @Raidou and his familiar, she gave him a wink as they almost attacked in tandem. Her blade engulfed in black flames as she unleashed her most powerful sword art across the mob's chest, each of her stabs hitting vulnerable spots with pinpoint precision.

The fact that the teleport crystals were not working hadn't been lost on Itzal, who narrowed his eyes and silently cursed Kayaba. Even as he swung his sword around cutting all of the shadow's tendrils before they could reach him, he was processing what was about to happen. Without teleport crystals, they only had one way to escape. Their priority needed to be survival first, and victory second. If someone's health was low, they would need to shift strategy to focus on protecting and healing them. Otherwise they'd need to focus on all out damage. However... The shadow itself hadn't even appeared just yet. Itzal did not have infinite energy, and he didn't have any energy recovery consumables. After he slashed the last shadow tendril, he knew he was going to have to say something.

"Teleport crystals don't work!" He yelled for everyone to hear. Specifically those who hadn't figured it out. "Don't let fear overtake you! Keep focused and on your guard! If we can't retreat, we need to give it our all to end this boss." Itzal grinned as he prepared to charge for Orgoth. "It's ironic. You may have wanted to share that bit of information to scare the sh*t out of me... But." He took a stance. "All you did was strengthen my determination. You're all talk. You want to make an impact? Stop hiding behind a shield and step out into the open!" Charging, he focused only on drawing the shadow out to speed up this fight. Yes, he noticed it mention spreading across Aincrad. That statement proved it was at least self aware. But that wasn't his concern right now. He needed his mind to be on the present, not the future. Thus he rushed up to Orgoth and struck him without a sword art. That meant only dealing one point of damage, but if he could save up his energy for the real fight, that was all he needed. Besides, most of his damage came from the DoTs. One of which he was able to land.

Focused Howl: 0/2

"So we can't run huh?"

He heard Orgoth's words, giving a small laugh beneath his helm, "Misses happen, even on the frontlines. It's not the first time it's happened to anyone, nor is it likely to ever be the last. Still, I need to get the aggro off of Ariel in order for her to fully focus on attack..."

"Whelp, it's like they say about a cornered animal...that's when you need to be the most careful. Guess this was going to happen eventually. If there's no way out but forward, then we're really got no choice but to push forward with all we've got."

He gave a small smirk at Ariel's quip as she charged forward, dealing a good chunk of damage to the floor boss, "Don't worry, no need to tell me twice! Go ahead and go wild, I'll keep things covered for now!"

Extending his arms to the side the deep blue armored knight clenched his hands into fists, bright blue energy gathering around his gauntlets like swirling trails, growing more and more intense with each moment until it almost seemed like Calrex had two small tornados for forearms. A metallic breath escaped beheath his helm, the Ultramarine Knight's eyes locking onto their coordinated target before slamming his arms together, the energy being unleashed in a reverberating sound blast from where he was standing, <<Focused Howl>> echoing for a brief moment before fading off. With Ariel's attack completing, he gave a small sigh of relief to have successfully taken the lead on aggro for their team.

"No need to switch to full defensive gear for now. If anything I'll need to stick with single-target damage for now. Let's just hope the buffs offsetting Achilles' weakness keeps up."

Even though she had used her banner, it seemed like her party members damage didn’t increase even a little bit. ‘’Wait what? What is wrong?’’ she said to herself. She took a closer look on the banner, she haven’t needed to say anything last times she had used it. Had something changed or what? When she dived into her own thougths, the battle around her was still raging on, the defenders of Aincrad slowly but steadily reduced the healthbars of the mighty fantasy creature they was fighting. The same creature that had helped her, Macradon, Morgenstern, Ariel, Baldur and Hestia when they was fighting the shadow the first time. Why was everyone attacking him now?

It was at that moment her focus fully turned back to the present. Not because of the battle between the players and the bull. No, it was a loud sound of snapping fingers all around her, followed by a familiar voice. “The fight’s over here!  Do pay attention, will you?  Funny how the pain doesn’t stop just because you do!” Her eyes went to the shadow. Followed by another wave of combatmoves, from Orgoth and his opponents. Combined with her previous speech, this lit her fighting spirit and her crimson eyes looked directly at where the shadows eyes would be. ‘’Pay attention you say? And that comes from the same thing that don’t even react when someone screaming at you.’’ She said with a cheerful voice and a smile on her lips. ‘’Sorry, but don’t have time for you right now, gonna join the fight you mentioned.’’ And with those words, she charged towards Orgoth.

But she didn’t held her axe in attack ready grip, nor charged up any sword art. Instead, she swiped thru menus onfront of her. A few meters before she was within reach, she stopped and turned around. With a smirk on her face she did a quick screenshot with the floor boss in the background. A moment later she continued her charge, charging up her strongest sword art this time, with axe in her hands. ‘’Hello mate, remember me?’’ she asked before the black axe cleaved thru the right leg of her opponent, before she disengaged and went back to her party.

"Trust your teammates!" Baldur called out to the raid in general.

He knew what this moment was. It was an inflection point. A... shatterpoint. In the fight. Bahr had broken and tried to retreat, it seemed something the Shadow said had gotten to him, but Baldur paid the words so little attention that he couldn't remember what it had said. Something about Bahr's girlfriend? Lessa wasn't here, so she was safe, as long as their line held.

"Everything has gone according to plan. Use your heal crystals to help top off your tanks!"

All in all, the battle had mostly gone as Baldur had expected, though he seemed to be operating about one beat faster than everyone else. They should have entered the second phase by now, but they were pushing up against the buffer of it.

"Tanks! Prepare for a hate drop as we enter phase 2!" @Shield @Raidou @Calrex @Ariel - The Crowned Lion @Zajcica @Morgenstern @ChaseR @Macradon

Baldur surveyed the HP of his party and saw that while Shield was uncommonly low, it was not the point where he felt he needed to be concerned about the tank. Raidou... Raidou on the other hand seemed to have succumbed to the Shadow's taunts in a way distinctly different from Bahr.

He turned to @Haine "Does he usually get like this?" he glanced to her and Kiluia, "Come one, let's finish this phase off. Maybe it'll clear his head with a phase change."

Baldur charged at the giant minotaur and activated <<San Ge>>, tearing another huge swath out of the monster's health bar.

Come on you big sack of hit points, fall already. Hopefully some forward momentum would energize everyone's morale.

His own little world had been interrupted with the notion that they were unable to escape from this place. A very serious unexpected turn of events. His eyes turned from person to person from each group engaging their reactions with his own. His mental state started to panic slightly as he had promised Asmura he would come back home to her. If this was his final resting place, he would end up breaking that promise to a girl that he adored like a daughter. Amber eyes glanced over to his beloved for a slight second trying to see if she could tell the position they were in. Baldur had spoken about Raidou and he glanced over at his boss. His eye brow perked slightly as he spoke to @Baldur"I've never seen him enraged like this except one time. It was when we found Haine. So..  don't think you'll see this often."

He lowered his gaze at his hands and then closed them into a fist. He would be determined to come home to her with Haine no matter what the cost. Body lowered down to a sprinters stance and eyes closed slowly. His breathing slowed down to almost a halt before unleashing full strength into the balls of his feet. A large trail of dust followed behind while he sprinted passed a variety of people from group to group. “Gotta make it home.”

Left leg pushed off and he was into the air. His trajectory had been overshot but he wasn’t going to let that interfere with his momentum. His right foot touched a wall and body crouched absorbing the impact like a spring back into action. Body was now on course with the back of the head of Orgoth. Both hands clenched into a hammer fist and smashed directly into the cranium of the foul beast. Let’s hope we can all go home. He thought to himself as he jumped off his head to land back to his group.

She was staring at everyone trying to piece the situation together. With the word of teleport crystals failing, her thoughts started to plunder down. Her blue tresses flailed back and forth trying to understand the chaos. Baldur had mentioned something in her direction. It caught her off guard as she answered. “Um. He’s usually calm and collected.” She thought for a moment. She hadn’t seen Raidou until the anger was felt radiating in her direction. Fearful, she turned slightly to see that her leader and pseudo brother was enraged. But the dread wore off as she watched Raidou. It was anger. Seething anger. That anger seemed to affect her behavior now as she pulled her new spear down.

“I can’t help… but feel anger as well.” Between looking at Kiluia and Baldur, she understood the severity of what was going on. The blue wonder took off after Kiluia who ran ahead of her. Blue and white streaked passed the party now as she gripped the hilt of her spear. Something drew her anger. What was this…? What was going on? Why was Raidou so angry and why did it trigger her?

With all the thoughts rummaging through her head, she watched as Kiluia slammed into the back of the creature’s head and caused it to stumble forth. Her assault spear lunged forward with full extension as the duo combined their attacks causing the spear to shred through the defenses of the monster. She was pissed. She wanted to go home to Asmura and love her. She wanted to calm @Raidou down and ask what was wrong, but she couldn’t with this bastard running around. The shadow seemed to be the target of their anger. She was going to rip out as much information as she could.

Passive [+3 EN] Holy Blessing [+72 HP] Battle Healing [+114 HP] First Aid [+397 HP] Vampiric (Defensive) ID# 179794 results: Craft: 12 [+90HP]

Action: First Aid > Party [Shield: -30 EN, Party: +20% HP]

The boastful words rolled off of Shield's shoulders. He had felt the tongue lashing of every half-wit field boss and floor boss since the day he had set foot out of the Town of Beginnings. He heard them, and he figured them into his calculations, but there was nothing to be done about the threat now. His course was set.

The incoming attacks were a maelstrom. As the last blow from Orgoth's axe slashed through Shield's form, he saw his health plummet. He even saw it coming, but he knew he wasn't going to be able to avoid it. Instead, he held out his hand, touching Orgoth's forearm as it retreated from him on the arc of its back-swing. As Shield's fingers withdrew, he pulled with it a single thread of red light that wrapped around his hand and snaked up his arm, absorbing into his virtual flesh.

His health ticked up a little ways. Then it ticked up more. And again, yet another bump as all of his defensive heals triggered at once.

The stalwart warrior gave his arm a flourish and slammed the tip of his sword into the ground, sending out a shock of blue light through the ground. His <<Field Medic>> skill sent waves of blue light up the legs of his party members, bringing all of them back to their full health. Well, nearly all of them. Ironically, Shield's own health bar was the only one left with any missing hit points. Still, considering the power of Orgoth's attacks, he still had to count himself lucky.

Don't worry, Lilith. I'm sure you'll get some work soon enough. For now, I have another heal sitting in my back pocket.

The cloud of dust that the chaos from moments ago had kicked up began to settle out of the air. He knew he had lost Hate after Raidou's attack, but  he had undone almost every little bit of the Shadow's work. He spat dust from his mouth and gave a sniff, clearing his nose of the stinging particles before leveling his dark brown gaze at the enemy.

He's on his last legs, too. Looks like we get to face this next wave practically at full strength, barring any death throes.

Freyd of Shadows2.jpg

In chess, every piece serves a purpose.  Each one has unique talents and potential that remains locked until they are properly arrayed.  You see, Takeshi?  They must work as a team.  From the mighty queen, right down to the lowliest pawn, any one of them can win the game, if given a chance.

Yes, grandfather.

They had no way out, and the Shadow’s maddening cackle reverberated in the void that surrounded them.  Freyd struggled to move, or do anything really, as tenebrous tendrils writhed inside him feeling like they were shredding his soul into metaphorical mush.    The thin, digital veneer containing it fractured as this vile bile bubbled inside and sought to twist his mind and body to its bidding.  So Freyd smiled, then chuckled, then burst into full out sinister-sounding... laughter?

“Bad move.  You just sacrificed your best piece.”  Shard-like flakes of flesh akin to those that lingered upon the death of mobs peeled from his skin, scoured from the inside out.  Freyd spoke through clenched teeth tainted by the play of pitch from within and trailing wisps of blackened breath that seeped out a little more with every ragged exhalation.  I have no intention of leaving, right when we finally have you right where I want you.

“You don’t get it, do you?”  Freyd convulsed, his body contorting unnaturally as a disturbing bulge pushed out against his back, thankfully to recede again.  “You literally just put your shadowy foot in it.  I’ve spent six months laying out the groundwork for you to make exactly… this… mistake.”

A sputtering cough splattered blighted vomit all over the broken, stony ground before him.  So this is what Orgoth endured.  His blackened eyes met the minotaur’s red ones for an instant, common pain connecting them in a torturous bond.

“Just like the Gemini,” he said, staring at the black goo that somehow popped and sizzled as it ate at the stone beneath it.  “I’ve killed mine twice, you know?  And a hundred more for good measure.  I’ve spent half my life learning how to suppress and conceal darkness within.”  His right arm jerked forward, stabbing his sword into the putrid puke, the holy seal of containment thinning as it struggled to contain the roiling, hungry void within.  “I’ve wrapped my hands… my real hands... around the throat of another living being and felt its pulse ebb until I thought it dead.  Real dead – not the type Kayaba tells us we inflict but denies us the ability to actually confirm.”  He spare a sideways glance at Mari and the other orange players, black on black, blistering eyes making no judgements, just as Jomei’s rapier struck true and severed the invasive tendrils that held him paralyzed.  

“Thank you, my friend.”  Mercy.

DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE, RAIDOU!”  The words roared out of him across the battlefield.  “Don’t you let that monster win.  Stay the course.  THINK!  Then act.”

Like a blur of motion in the dark, Freyd thrust Samael’s Pride deep into Orgoth’s abdomen, the sword’s seal shattering to bind them through the sliver of void that seemed to consume the Whisper’s hand as he cried out in agony.  So much for pain suppression…

A Fallen proc.  

Pawn taken.  

Checkmate.

“He’s overextended, trying to take too much at once!  GET HIM NOW!”  With his last bit of strength just enough to keep him standing, he turned and glowered at ChaseR.

“If he takes me, you do whatever you need to do.  I know I can trust you with that.”  Closing his eyes, Freyd focused on the one thing that might actually get him through this:  the image of a fragile and meticulously crafted copper rose, tinged with a deep patina of verdigris, sitting on a dresser in the warmth of a loving home, gleaming under the summer sun.  

Beautiful.
