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


Recommended Posts

Now things were just devolving into utter nonsense and chaos. Well, for the Shadow at least. Itzal almost started laughing when he heard the boss's reaction to Macradon's rapping. If this thing truly was the master of shadows, and could see Itzal's face, he'd see the huge smug grin he was expressing. This was the first boss fight where he was actually amused. Not frustrated, not focused, not happy, not enjoying. Just amused. Now that everyone wasn't really in danger they were letting they're fun-side show for real. He wouldn't participate in that himself of course, he had to keep Are's reputation going. It was important after all. All this being said, mentally at least, Orgoth was losing health fast. If they wanted to keep the npc alive, and Itzal kind of did as he wanted to see how it would affect the floor, they needed to step up their game and finish this fight as quickly as they could. Welp. "Bite of the ant" he thought to himself before charging at the monster. As he rushed up and swung however, the shadow became ethereal for a split second, letting his blade pass harmlessly through. Alright, alright. Fair enough. Itzal got lucky getting one of his very few critical hits during this fight. It was only right to assume that his luck would go sour after that. He just had to... Build it up again? It did seem odd though that he was so unlucky when it came to critical hits and applying DoTs while others were not.

The final bar of health was in sight. The tunnel at the end of the road was coming to them. He wanted to sigh in relief but, you should never count your chickens before they have hatched as they spoke in messages. They were all indeed tired. More tired than usual as he dashed off to the shadow. Mental fatigue or whatever they had incorporated sure took its toll on them here still. His hands were raised as pressed forward with energy. His eyes were still on the health bar trying to at least see the final edge of the fight.

His right hand clenched as he swung for the fences with this blow. His fist had overcompensated as he swung deep into that attack. While in mid motion, he corrected his footing and lunged with his left hand to correct the trajectory of his attack. He wasn’t going to allow himself to not get a hit on this sucker as it was time for them to finish this and go back to their lives before anything else happened. He was plotting to go home to where Haine and Asmura would be there to come back to even though his fiancée was right beside him. He corrected his footing once again to dash back with the group of people awaiting their strikes.

Faster. Her attacks had to be swift and fast and faster. The more time she'd spent dawdling about on the back of the line, the less time she'd have to pummel The Shadow's visage into itself, serving up strikes that would have it sink into a black hole when it finally had its health bar down to zero. One shackle broke -- NIGHT didn't even want to register any amount of thanks her party members had for her and went straight into cutting the tethers off the tank. No, she figured. They were having a bit too much fun with the chains and it was getting old.

And that goop thing on Raidou. She didn't want to be anywhere near it.

Another cut down on the trove of limbs in the corner. She'd wrenched back from its feeble swipes at her with a stumbled footing, before letting loose another blow to the mastermind itself.

Faster, she willed her body to move, preparing another sword art once she'd recovered from the system's delay. Faster.

" 'bout time!" mentally retorted the blonde with a grin as the raid parties were verbally recognized as a thread besides Orgoth. "But also too late!" she added verbally as she snapped her fingers and pointed at the boss once more. In a flash Ariel's familiar answered and acknowledged the target, the rest of the adds came second as they were in the final stretch of defeating Shadow. If all the players gave their all up until this moment, now it was time to squeeze out even more and deliver 110%. This was the blonde's intention as she lunged herself forward, a white streak by her side. 

She'd coin the thought of taking a vacation after exploring the next. They all deserved one after this fight that was pushing her near her limit, even if her stats said otherwise. With one, hopefully, final combo the blonde let out a long sigh as she looked at her white furred companion and let out an audible sigh.

This was it, the final stretch. It empowered her, gave her an extra pep in her step. No casualties, even through the hairy sides of combat when she feared for the worst. Her shoulders relaxed and a wave of peace washed over her. Sure, the thing wasn't dead, but it would be in the blink of an eye at this rate. She spared a moment to enjoy the rift between Shadow and Orgoth, like a scene out of some dramatic tv show. Riveting, oh how the tables had turned.

Shield approaches, a soft glow concentrating on his palms. The glow emitted on her skin, renewing a portion of her strength. Her body moved swift, an effect of the buff. "Alright. Let's kill this thing." She nods to Shield, and then, to everyone else in her party. She moved in overdrive, adrenaline taking over her.

All rationality out the window as she rushed in hasty, breaking the solid form she practiced. Pathetically enough, all it took to faceplant was a pebble in her way. Soles impacted with the pebble, rolling the soles of her boots backwards. Her weight toppled over and she fell over, palms digging into the dirt.

"Eugh. Well sh**."

Seriously?

How anti-climactic.

An outcry reached her ears as several players charged forward, most likely attempting to take the last hit for the reward. She wasn't too interested in such a reward, instead she was after the experience and col rewards. As someone who couldn't farm, quests and events were by far the easiest way for her to receive such rewards. 

Her health bar rose a bit as Mari used a healing crystal for her. A sigh escaped Hidden's lips. The act was pointless. It was over. Her eyes met Raidou's figure which still remained chained down. 'When he dies, you'll be free.'  She faced the Shadow, preparing to end him. He had done enough. Honestly, this fight hadn't been worth much. There wasn't any real struggle. With Orgoth at their side, it had been a cinch. An orange hue overtook her dagger before she darted forward thrusting her dagger into her enemy's back. "Sleep." She told The Shadow. With him gone, the influence of shadows would return to those who possessed the hiding skill.

This was it. The moment. He couldn't move, no matter how much he struggled against the system or the chains that bound him. Then Night blurred past him, taking out his shackle and laying into another horror on her way to Shadow. We was a whirlwind of darkness and definitely making her attempt at MVP for the party, but with Baldur out of the way, they as a team needed to rely on Night, Kiluia, and Haine for the damage. Particularly Kiluia and Haine for the single target damage.

As the chains disappeared around Baldur he fell towards the ground as weight and control suddenly returned to him and he leaned on his sword trying to push himself back up. Shield <<Sharpened>> Haine and she charged forward, but it seemed she tripped on the way there... it looked like one of those Shadow Horrors lashed out at her, and she lost the attack. 

We can get this guys. Press the attack now while we have the chance!

The time had come. The battle would end here. Ignoring his party member whom had just become chained, he would direct the rest of his energy toward The Shadow. A blue light glinted off of his katana before he charged forward, swinging towards the Shadow with all of his strength. It created a gash in his opponent, the light of his sword art dying out. Could they do it? Was this the end of it? 

The Shadow against the Labyrinth group had decimated them just the battle had just seemed won, would it be the same this time? Or was the enemy finally going to fall? Would death take it and finally allow them to progress another floor and bring them a step closer to home?

He drew back, taking a defensive stance. He had to be prepared if the boss would undergo a second wind. They had to make sure it would truly die.

Jomei looked at Macradon as he addressed the group, giving a simple strategy to allow a bit of slack off of Macradon. Jomei took little to no damage this entire fight, and he knew he could dodge the attacks of the horrors or the Shadow if need be. He was ready for anything... well, mostly anything. "Right." he said with a nod, before turning his attention to the main boss.

The Shadow horror that taunted them still remained, but with the end goal in sight, all hands were on deck for attacking the puppeteer behind it all. One after another, players rushed forth, their blades crashing against the blackened body of the Malevolent. Once Jomei saw an opening, after Hidden as Macradon had suggested, Jomei rushed forth. His eyes remained on the Shadow, trying to focus on just when to unleash his sword art to deal the most damage. Suddenly, Whack! One of the whipping tendrils of shadow protruding from the ground collided with Jomei's shoulder, knocking him to the ground. No damage, but his sword clattered to the ground just out of his reach.

Exhaustion.

That was what this was, wasn’t it? What else could it be? The way that Shadow’s breaths came more rapidly, each a bit shallower than the last. The erratic beat of his heart, sputtering and belching like an old truck’s backfire. Not to mention the fact that his minions, crafted so lovingly out of the darkness, no longer obeyed him. Shadow paused to glance down at his hands, confusion drifting across an expression formed of fog. Such weakness was so pathetic, so inexcusable, so human. 

“Shadow!” came Orgoth’s call a second time, startling the boss from his momentary hesitation. The minotaur’s gaze caught and held Shadow’s, all trace of the previous cloudiness gone. As the spectre weakened, Orgoth appeared to only grow stronger. The realization might have enraged Shadow once, but he found it difficult to stoke the flames of anger. Instead, a dull, throbbing envy enveloped Shadow. Orgoth had succeeded where he had failed. The life and the lives Shadow had sacrificed, the promises he had made, the darkness he had given himself over to. Yet all of his twisted magic could not save him now. 

Orgoth lifted both axes, twin guillotines poised to remove the king’s head, and he could do nothing but watch. These Players had stripped him of the power he had so desperately craved. Now, they exposed him for what he truly was - a fraud. A fellow mortal, masquerading as a god.

“You were a worthy adversary,” Orgoth murmured, standing only inches from Shadow. “Rest well.”

Shadow closed his eyes.

How did it come to this?

With a whoosh, the blades fell. The final blood-red sliver of health shrank before the bar and the boss both disappeared. Oddly, there was no explosion of pixels, nor trademark completion pop-up. If Orgoth registered such small details, the NPC gave no indication.

Shadow’s army did not seem to notice their commander’s absence at all; the Bloodlust Shackles still clung to their victims, and the Shadow Horrors continued their onslaught. And much to Orgoth’s dismay, the pools of dark sludge in the corners of the room began to grow. The slow trickle built to a steady stream, surging forward to splash across the boots of unsuspecting Players. While this was not as potent as the sea that had swallowed Aincrad, an effect of Shadow’s weakened state, it still chilled those who touched it to the bone. Though the minotaur had no idea what the black liquid was, he had no interest in finding out. A rumble of thunder echoed off the confines of the boss room. “Finish this,” he commanded of his own troops, “so that we may escape this strange storm.”

Spoiler

A mechanical change is in play. All players are invited to attack any enemy, regardless of the party it is assigned to, within the same rotation round. All players will have 72 hours before the next rotation occurs.


NOTES

  1. The boss room is flooding with black water that chills Players when touched. This has no mechanical impact, but may be used for narrative purposes in posts.
  2. Players may attack enemies across parties should they so choose to.

  • [As If It's My Last] - Until all Shadow minions and Bloodlust Shackles have been removed from the field, Shadow will refuse to die. Shadow is also untargetable.
  • [Forced Hand] - If [Dark Nova Eternal] is removed from the field, a Shadow Horror will be spawned to confront each party every other turn.  Disables when Shadow's health falls below 20%.
  • [Malformed Data] - Debuffs have no effect on Shadow. Any debuffs used against Shadow are thereafter applied by its own attacks for the rest of the battle. The effects last for 2 turns and can be refreshed. 
    • [INCARCERATE] and [MISPERCEPTION] are active.
  • [Disablement Immunity] - This boss is immune to Paralysis, Stuns and the turn-losing effects of Freeze.
  • [Bloodlust Shackle] - If Shadow rolls a CD6+, Shadow binds the Primary Threat Target on the current active party with a [Bloodlust Shackle]. The target loses all hate values on any targets and is stunned for the duration they are stuck in [Bloodlust Shackle]. When bound, [Parry] is negated on its targets.
    • [Tethered] - Any attacks made against the Bloodlust Shackle will not miss.
    • [Bloody Tether] - For each rotation the Bloodlust Shackle remains standing, the target will suffer unmitigated 300 DMG. All other players in their party will gain a stack of [Shadow's Bloodlust].
    • [Shadow's Bloodlust] - Bleeds the target for 36 DMG for the next two turns. 3 stacks max. Stacking will both increase the potency of the bleed and refresh its duration.

Beat's vision had been blank for an unknown amount of time. Occasionally he would get glimpses of his user interface, but it he guessed it was some kind of glitch. At first he had believed it to be an effect of the boss fight, but a distinct lack of menus and the utter duration pretty much ruled that out. 

Damn it! Talk about the worst time for this to happen! 

With no way to interact with the game other than listen, Beat had two options: fight blindly using sound as his only guide, or teleport away. The former wasn't something he immediately dismissed, but he couldn't count of the glitch affecting other parts of his ability to fight. He clicked his tongue as his hands slowly performed the motions to summon his menus. This was something he could do in his sleep and his teleport crystals were in a specific place just in case of something like this. He summoned his crystal and was relived when it material in his hand. With a squeeze of the item, he was whisked away.

What a storm, perhaps victory is still far away

Crozeph ran as much as he can, there are only a few openings to hit Shadow and seeing the monster struggle to breath was his cue "time to end-" everything seemed to become too chaotic. The shackles are still binding Bahr, some kind of weird goo is flowing steadily to where he is, and he is to far away still to hit Shadow. "Damn it!"  he muttered in frustration. 

Such opportunity was taken and he knew only one thing to if he can't cut down the boss, deal with the minions. He jumped forward, his katana aimed at the shadow horror in front of him. "This will only tickle you" he told it before he landed. The attack was swift and soon enough he was able to deal a good amount of damage to the grotesque creature "Yuki, what is this black goo?" he told her as he tried to pick up a handful. There was a strange feeling to it like it was cold, a chill he only felt when facing powerful enemies "wait is this Shadow's sweat?" he told them.

Jomei propped himself up onto his arms as he watched Orgoth's blades swing down atop the Shadow like a guillotine dropping upon a helpless victim. Everything went silent as the large axes cut through the air, finally resounding as they slashed through the boss' body. The Shadow hung there, not attacking, not responding as if suspended in between life and death. The horrors it had summoned still wandered the field, as well as any of the shackles placed upon his companions. 

Reaching for his rapier, Jomei hurried to his feet. "Finish off the rest of these creatures, and free those stuck in the Bloodlust Shackles! We have this win in the bag!" Jomei called out, turning his attention to the Shadow Horror that barely clung to life. With the whipping tentacles less of an issue, Jomei's feet carried him towards the nightmarish creature. His blade connected with the monster, tearing it to shreds with a swift array of slashes and jabs. Almost there... he said to himself. Almost there.

Itzal watched with honest surprise as Beat teleported out of the battlefield via teleport crystal. Had the nullification only been a temporary thing? How did he miss that?? Well... It didn't really matter at this point. He watched as the shadow lost the last of it's health, though he didn't sheath his sword. If there was anything he'd learned from other bosses, it was that you should never assume the boss is dead until the big words pop up on your screen telling you it's dead. And even then Itzal would be wary of a trick. Woosh. And there it was. The monsters were still here, as well as the shackles. Then the boss came back, only he was glitching out. At this point the shadow was reminding Itzal of a virus than a boss. Apparently he was going to rely on his minions now. Well, Itzal wasn't very good at dealing damage, but others in his party were... His attention went to the shackle bound on Calrex. He activated the charge skill only to close the distance between them, not as an attack as he didn't need it for this tiny thing, charged up his sword, and thrust it into the shackles, shattering them and freeing Calrex. He would simply nod to his old friend, even though Calrex wouldn't know it was him, before rushing over to Zandra. "Hey, I recommend using your biggest AoE you can to help finish off the rest of these small fry. It seems all that's left is the cleanup."

This was it. Orgoth took the head off of Shadow, and with that, the last hit bonus. Baldur wasn't terribly wrapped up in getting it himself, he just wanted someone to get it. He wasn't quite sure what would happen now, but given how powerful the boss was, they probably lost out on something truly special. An anger fueled by annoyance at himself and at their situation flared up inside of him, but Baldur merely fed the emotion into the flame that filled him. Tranquil as a forest, but a fire within.

Once he found his center, he turned to the last remaining <<Shadow Horror>> that plagued their group. Now, they were sure to win, but they had to clean up the last of these adds...

When water began to fill the room.

Tsk.

Shadow didn't seem to die yet though, and his supernatural shadows still lingered in the room.

"We need to hurry up and kill the adds, lest there be some annoying flood mechanical, or Shadow is able to resurrect himself from the remnants."

He struck the stone of the floor link a flint and steel and coldfire blossomed from his blade as he turned his sights towards the monster. He swung his sword and a curved arc of blue fire shot from the sword and struck the  <<Shadow Horror>> the blue, crescent moon of energy split it in twain and the two remaining wire mesh halves burned until they shattered.

Then Baldur let out a deep breath and surveyed the room.

And now was the final phase, if it could even be called that. The boss was almost dead, its minions being the only tether keeping it still in Aincrad. And they were going to chip away at it right off the bat. People were already killing the rest of the Shadow Horrors left in tact and making sure to free their teammates.

Chase DBP Default.pngNo reason why Chase couldn't do the same. "Let's finally finish this.", he muttered and split off from the party once Jomei finished off the Shadow Horror that was terrorizing, or trying its hardest to terrorize, the party, making a run for Raidou, Bahr and the two horrors left next to the fellow two-handed sword user. Raidou was free as soon as the horror beside him fell, and then Bahr's shackles took a hefty amount of damage, as did the Horrors. "Kill the horrors and we're done!"

Focused Howl Refreshed!

"Finish this so that we may escape this strange storm." A trumpeting voice caused the whole place an echo that could be felt in ones bones, a rather large titan who had been fought. Pacified. And Freed. From foe to ally with intentions and the refusal to accept. What was supposed to be, choosing instead to alter the fate of the chamber. That same shout played down the long hallway of Raidou's psyche, that same intense stare shearing lines through the malevolent's frame as he continued to weaken.

To become desperate.

     To fade away.

The shouts from comrades stormed through as well, but they were distant. Hollowed and distorted as if spoken underwater. Chase paled through and sliced as his chains, and he could hear his voice although he could not hear the words spoken.

"Thank you. And well done."

The player rockets to the next in sequence, as the others continued to spin and storm throughout the chamber like hornets. Cutting the remaining forces down in droves. But not the wanderer, taking his steps toward the thing that had produced this nightmare. The rattle of broken chains still clung to his appendages, the links banging together as he walked. Fraying at the edges as they began to fade, small bits of pixie dust from the bottom upward. Chains broken, a symbolic victory akin to the physical one.

Next to Orgoth still crushing that thing beneath his massive heels, wading through that black ocean that mirrored the lake that night on Coral's shores. Before Skalaugh was spawned. A cold numbness on his shins, as that boss began to mourn the hole within its chest and glanced to it. Raidou would smile, and rip the braces on his wrists forward in a shove.

One after another *splash, splash* they hit that ink in tiny rings. A thin red film screaming from his clean hands and beginning to mix with the air. A lift of his hand to his brow and a flick of those tiny pair of glasses. He had seen this coming, since the very beginning. These constructs were not human, and the mistake was underestimating them, as he had before and was proven wrong. A phrase that he could not hear, but found it fitting within this moment. The Shadow's final moments, like a rite before it was laid to rest.

"You never stood a chance."

Time to mop up!

The last of the enemies were dwindling, and Shadow had dropped to the bottom of his health gauge. Turning to the stragglers, Shield brandished Vampire's Kiss and slashed through the lot, taking a pittance of their health, but hopefully grabbing their attention in case the need arose to defend.

With each of his targets now aware of his commanding presence, he cast aside his axe and shield, replacing them instantly with a chipped handaxe and a much more familiar aigis. Manticore Mask proudly adorned his arm, its once fiery eyes now cold and angry after the threatening quality had been removed and put onto his new armor. Regardless, Shield felt a relief as the heavy and familiar weight of his namesake on his arm

"Last rally! Let's finish this!"

With a slap of his axe head on the face of the shield, a sharp clang rang out over the din, spurring those remaining to action.

With clashing blows from both sides, it was finally over, the shadow’s health was finally reaching zero, they won.

Yeah right, if only it was so easy. The shadow lingered on, remaining chained to this plane of existence by the chains he had brought upon this battlefield. It was quite ironic, how those chains that pained him to such a state he wasn’t aware was possible in this game, would be the final stand between him and the shadow.

It was quite the melancholic feeling, like saying goodbye to a friend you made on a vacation, someone you might have had a few laughs with, but didn’t really know that much, might’ve even been with a lot of bad memories from it, but the fact that their journey together is being severed for good got Macradon to hesitate to follow through with the plan, but he couldn’t be selfish, shadow’s implication would mean that the rest of the floating castle was battling against an army as well, Macradon must end the suffering labour others are feeling, he can’t let his own emotions get the best of him.

The battlefield nearly flattened out as all parties somewhat paused for a short while, but before he even got to realize what was actually going on, people were already on the onslaught against shadow’s remaining minions and chains. “Can’t just sit back and do nothing, can I?” he muttered for himself and went into assault as well. With a quick Charge and route planning, Macradon cleaved through a whole bunch of enemies, finally arriving at @Bahr who was chained down, and with his ending parts of his Sword Art, Macradon severed what bound his friend to the ground in a near helpless state. “You’re welcome” he said with a grin and a chortle.

Something felt wrong.  Like, if you ate one too many jujubes and they were all protesting violently in your gut, kind of wrong.  Whatever he'd connected with in the early stages of the fight, when Orgoth was still Shadow's puppet, was making a vigorous comeback.  Now, the minotaur stood triumphant and Shadow disincorporated, cast away forever into a void of his own making.  The same darkness pressed in, unfocused but no less dangerous as it encroached upon their tiny, flickering refuge.

Wet, black droplets fell upwards from Freyd's eyes while one hand rose to wipe them away.  Pulling back from his face, he found it slick with the same oily stuff he'd felt inside him while trying to help hold Shadow in his place - The Checkmate Gambit.  Now, the price was due.  Every last pawn was being sacrificed, and he had made himself one of them by choice.  Not the greatest way to go, but maybe it had made a difference.  

"If this is how it ends..." 

Pursing his lips, Freyd gripped his own personal sliver of nothingness and went to town on the last remaining shadow horrors.  The same black bile seeped between his hands and the hilt, causing them to stick to each other like warmed molasses, even as it oozed from his pores, everywhere.  Soon it was gushing out of his cowl, from his wrists and boots, choking him from the very darkness he'd come to rely on to provide separation and comfort.  

Don't worry.  I'm here... Freyd.

Montjoy, being the herald once more?  Is this my Agincourt?  

Perhaps.
