[F10-PP] Weakening Steel (SoW 2)

Tearing the very field asunder in a storm of white smoke, Setsuna draws a single line through the pack. Only one manages out of range, while the others detonate like explosions rigged down a line. They pop one after another.

*Pop*, *Pop*, *Pop*

That bitter cold assaults the field, that spray in red washes the cloud of white in a pinkish hue for but a single moment before fading. In a strange fizzle and fade, Setsuna joins that smoke like a specter. Fading into the small lines and trails of mist, she all but disappears seconds after becoming visible. She was on the hunt, her target was known. She'd wait for Alkor to make his move, as before. And once that moment arrived, she'd be there to follow his attack with her own. She trusted the man, more than one would expect for her to. Something he'd said or done, had purchased her respect.

He spun through to get closer to the last warrior standing, breaking its guard in a fluid motion. Before he could capitalize on his movements however, a hideous hand grabbed the warrior away from him and Alkor looked on as the Lich consumed the last of the warriors that had spawned with it. They had been warned, but it still took him by surprise that the enemy turned on its own in such a way.

What a brutal mechanic. Aincrad is absolutely savage.

He took a hop step back as two more warriors emerged from the River, and Alkor suddenly worried that an endless army of the Undead was rising to meet them. While they were superior in total strength, the numbers did not favor them; if the boss continued to swallow these things, it would quickly grow out of hand, and they would have to fall back.

"Looks like we have a problem," he stated. Setsuna was visible now, and the boss appeared to have become targetable. Still, somehow it seemed stronger than before, and they needed to factor that into their strategy. "We can't let it keep eating them, nuke it and I'll take care of the adds."

He sprang forward once again, activating his AoE skill, but one of the Warriors managed to deftly dance away from his blade. "Damn!" he hissed. "I missed one! Sorry!"

Fading away like smoke, the girl becomes that ghost of floor 4. The beast exposed, she drives it to a scatter of bone and flakes. A hallow gasp as it disperses, doing its best to roll back into a solid form and continue to fight back. The pieces she connected with explode like shrapnel, like fireworks tossed like baseballs. The glimmer on her katana as it slides back into its sheathe. No matter how many rose to face them, Setsuna would cut them down. Even more so with Alkor ripe for the attack able to hold his own easily against the whole.

In a blinding tear the girl unmaterialized, becoming one with her own mists. The pack was on its last legs, the boss in question could hardly stand against their collective might. It was struggling immensely to keep toe with the rate at the pair were cutting them down. Like wheat in a field, it looked as though they had hardly broken a sweat.

Alkor landed on his toes from the last attack, crouched low as Setsuna rushed through and smashed the Lich, such that it was unable to eat the remaining Warrior. Without hesitation, the dark swordsman slipped between the two enemies and turned a corkscrew in the air, tight to the ground. His attack launched quickly, before either creature could move.

With a powerful screech, the Lich shimmered faintly before exploding. Alkor landed on one knee, blade out to his side. After a moment, he settled back into a standing position, wavering slightly as he turned to find Setsuna, sheathing his blade in one quick turn of the wrist.

"I think that takes care of the second quest," he told her.
