[F21;SP] Hunting Drakelings | <<Trouble in the Mines>>


Recommended Posts

The creature had begun to falter with each step, seemingly losing energy and the will to fight as Nari slowly tore away at its outer core. It continued to roll towards her, every few seconds. Continued to try to assault her, to take her down with it. Were this anything but Aincrad, Nari almost would've felt a moment of empathy with the creature. Even in its dying moments, it wasn't willing to give up, to give in to the fate that it must know it now faced. Instead, it chose to fight on. To continue forwards. Just like you did.

She shook the thought from her mind, twisting around and peeling another layer of scales from the drake's body with her scythe. She didn't need to be comparing the thing to herself. Didn't need to be thinking about how similar it could be to her - it was nothing more than a computer program created by Cardinal. Nothing more than something hindering her from being free in the real world. That was all it could be, all it could ever be. 

"You just need to die now. Then we can both go on our ways, never to bother one another again." She spoke in a whisper, not even sure at first that she'd said it aloud. The thoughts had startled her, concerned her. She didn't want to give into them now, but as she felt her blade drawing along the side of the drake once more, she felt herself wince - a moment of weakness that she knew could cause her regret later.

Divide and Conquer | Drake Matriarchs will always move to surround their opponents and attack from both sides. Because of this behavioural pattern, it is impossible to attack both at the same time by way of AoE. Additionally, Hate acquisition skills and mods such as Howl and Focused Howl will only affect one Drake Matriarch at a time.
Metamorphosis | When one Drake Matriarch dies, the other will sprout wings and take flight. This provides +25 DMG and +3 EVA.  This effect is permanent, once triggered.

The thoughts drove her to finish the fight, not wanting to be alongside this creature any longer than she had to be. Nari pushed forward, driving her scythe into its side before wrenching it back out. She twirled around, letting her blade gain momentum as it went, before bringing it into a downward slice. She only noticed the creature's fallen form as the head bounced off the floor twice, before the entire thing exploded into shards before her - leaving herself and Mio standing in the quiet of the hallway, alone once more.

She paused, breathing heavily as she waited for something, anything else to jump from the shadows. When she was sure that there was nothing left, she let herself relax only slightly. Turning her attention to the kitsune, she spent a few moments pawing over the little creature, making sure that it hadn't sustained any injuries. She stepped back and away from it only when Mio gave a hiss of annoyance, smiling at the response as she realised how overbearing she'd been. "Sorry...I was just worried. That was our first big real fight together and..."

She left the remainder unspoken, knowing that it didn't need to be said. The kitsune gave her a look for a few seconds, one that told her that it was accepting her apology, before trotting off in the direction that would lead them back towards the main settlement. Nari couldn't help but agree with the small creature's decision - as ready as he was to leave this place behind for the time being. She gave only one last, brief glance over the open area before following, trying to leave the memories of her thoughts and concerns with the now deceased drakes.
