PP - Floor Two: The Goblin King and the quest for Silver & Gold [Alkor, Argumail, Rue, Life] {COMPLETED}

[Life 0]

The bodies of dead goblins started to pile up still not vaporising into pixels "What was going on..." He thought to himself. He shrugged it off and cut down at another goblin carelessly, still blocking their half hearted strikes with the flick of his arm. One of the goblins however managed to sneak up behind him stabbing into his gut deeply causing him to start to bleed out. "You little runt!"

Alkor saw Rue struggling with the mass of goblins and quickly moved to place himself between their barrage of attacks and the young woman. He successfully got his shield in the way and intercepted a strike meant for the blue haired girl. He spared a look back to ensure that she was alright, then held Life in his golden gaze and regarded the question for a moment.

"The Lionheart Cloak is a crafted item," he said in a hurried voice as he flicked his attention to a goblin rushing toward him. "My shield," he huffed as he slammed the indicated item into an oncoming attack, "dropped when the Twinfire Phoenix fell on the ninth floor."

His blade swept through another goblin ferociously as he held up his shield and warded off another strike. "Not this time,"he murmured as he held his position between the onslaught and the rest of his group.

L looked back at Alkor in amazement again this time also noticing his golden eyes "So cool~!" He coughed shortly after to try and keep himself professional. He spotted two goblins fighting where Rue and Alkor was, one where Argumail was but where was the last one... He looked behind him, predicting his own rotten luck as the goblin that he had previously disarmed pounced onto his face punching him in the head rapidly with it's green nubbly arms. "GET OFF ME" He ripped the little trike off his face and punted it across the room.

Argumail looked up and said," Nature's Vampire link to Life!" Cedar then drained a goblin hp and gave it to Life. Healing him instantly. Argumail then stood in front of the lower level people. He looked," I take the hits, Alkor... Life you give this fools hell!"

"Tch." Alkor swiped at air with his blade as a goblin scurried out of the way. It was hard to miss in such close quarters, but somehow, he had managed it. Alkor let out a huff and held his shield fast to stop what incoming damage he could.

Though his block and attack were unsuccessful, he took no damage when the creature's strike collided with his armor. He regarded Argumail with a quiet look, but offered no response to the assertion that the other man would take hits. That was fine; so long as he didn't die, Alkor wouldn't worry too much about another strong player.

His focus was on the players who weren't quite at that level of confidence. "Just be careful," he muttered to no one in particular.

When the goblin backed away from him, it appeared to have been singed by the effects of his shield, and Alkor quietly admitted that having one of those things may not have been so bad.

Alkor misses. (No damage dealt)

Alkor takes no damage due to armor mitigation.

The pile of dead goblins started to get large as only three remained alive, it now had turned into a massacre. He ran over to the goblin he punted away previously and followed up with a strike from his blade, sliding it into the belly of the monster pinning it firmly to the ground. "Thanks Cedar!" The goblin yelled in pain flailing its arms around trying to break free.

Argumail looked at the sword come in and stab him in the stomach. The Goblin grinned and laughed. Argumail looked down at the blade and pulled it in. "Someone take the shot!" Argumail laughed. The goblin tried desperately to pull It out. Argumail just pulled harder.

L looked over at Argumail slightly confused but amused still pressing down hard into the stomach of the Goblin, there was nothing it could do in response until one of the other goblins did a flying kick out of no where when he wasn't looking and knocked him to the ground only dazzling him without serious damage. "Looks like we're all having a tough time trying to get some damage in huh" He said with a smirk

Alkor walked up beside Argumail and let out a snort. His blade shot through the neck of the goblin easily, and the small creature let out a gargling sound that almost became a scream, but died in the attempt. The beast staggered backward and let go of its sword, still lodged in the other player haphazardly. "You're nuts," Alkor commented offhandedly, but he didn't have the predictable reaction of freaking out about it. Arugmail claimed he'd be fine, and Alkor held him to it.

"Still," he said aside to the other man, "don't pull that stunt too many times." He walked slowly toward the goblin that staggered away, his bloodied sword dripping where it hung, mere inches from the floor. The creature trembled as it collected itself and struck at him. Alkor batted the strike away with his shield, and flames licked the pitiful goblin.

Alkor stared dispassionately down as it fell to a knee, beaten. Their eyes locked for a moment as he prepared his sword for a killing stroke. "It doesn't matter how many times you hit me," he said down to the Goblin. "You're all going to die."

L got up from the ground and walked over calmly to one of the remaining two with a bloodthirsty smile, his eyes and sword both glowed red. "They look terrified" He grabbed the goblin by its skull and lifted it in the air in front of him "It's exciting.." He smiled hungrily as his eyes gleamed with malicious intent piercing his blade straight into it's heart and wiggled it around just to hear to cries of the goblin. He slowly retrieved his blade back out from it's horrifyingly disgusting body and threw it to the others so they could have a turn.

"Nuts? Me? How did you know!" Argumail smiled and then he looked at Cedar and nodded. Cedar performed Nature's Vampire and Argumail healed. He looked upon the scared the last goblin. He laughed," Oh how precious!"

"Heh."

Alkor slammed his Anneal Blade down into the battered body of his prey, holding there for several seconds as the life drained away from it. The damage caused the beast to cry out uncontrollably, its pain rising with each second that passed.

When he pulled away, the Goblin flailed out in its death throes, trying in vain to take Alkor with it. He knelt down in front of the pitiful beast as it slashed toward him and caught its arm in a firm hand. The creature was mere inches from his face as he looked into both red eyes, filled with agony and terror. "I know that look," he said gently. "That's the look every player in SAO has in their eyes if you look hard enough."

His own had looked that way, once. Golden eyes full of fear. Kayaba had told them all about the death game, how they would die in reality if they died here. Then, Alkor had accepted it. Slowly at first, then rapidly once he found his calling. "You have to die so that the players can live," he told the creature, though it showed no understanding of his words. The fire from his shield burned at the Goblin in contact with his body, and Alkor let go of the little monster.

He slipped his shield back over his back, then turned away from the near dead Goblin. He'd let one of the others finish it.

Alkor deals 6 damage. Super critical.

Alkor takes no damage, enemy strike failed.

Goblin Horde takes 2 damage from Flame Thorns.

Argumail slabbed his sword in the creature's foot and slowly but, surely slid his sword upward. The Goblin scared in agony and kicked and flailed. He was smiled as the shook until it just stopped. It looked up at Argumail and bursted into pixels.

L walked over to the last goblin once again with a bloodthirsty smile and murderous eyes. "Accept your fate" He stomped onto the goblins skull pressing its cheek against the dirt. He position his blade high above the creature and let it drop. The cry of the goblin could be heard as it struggled under his boot. "Execution method #1: Guillotine" The blade fell just short of the goblins neck until he grabbed the blade and cranked it down like he was pulling a lever, severing the last goblins head. He kicked the bodies over with the rest. The red faded from his eyes and he suddenly felt lethargic and horrible looking at the bodies all piled up. "Was that.. really me?..Did i... do that.." A build up of golden light started to illuminate the room as all 7 goblins blew up, the golden particles seemingly being vacuumed into a crevice in the wall.

Argumail laughed and patted Life on the shoulder. He looked at him and closely though his laugh. "Well, yes you did!" Argumail said surely, "Where to next?" 

[Life 0]

He struggled to remember what occurred soon after the fight whittled down he started at his hands as excessive amounts of blood dripped from his hands until he blinked and they were once again clean.  He shook his head and tried to think straight. The game must have intentionally left the bodies to pile up so the masses of golden particles could lead the way to the next location. He weakly lifted his arm and pointed to the crevice in the wall "we're going to have to find a way to knock that wall down" 

[Argumail 0]

Argumail looked at the wall , he wasn't sure what to think but he walked up to the wall. He sized it up and then he paced back and forth,"Does anyone havea pickaxe?" He asked

[Life 0]

He shook his head "Unfortunately i don't. If only this game had bombs!" He smiled sheepishly at Argumail. "Lets examine the wall first.." He walked over to it and placed his hand near the cracks and listened to the sounds as he knocked it lightly with his hand. "We can push this thing down" He looked through the cracks and noticed something glowing gold on the other side "I wonder what that is.."

[Guest]

"Here," Alkor said as he stepped up next to Life and pressed on the wall. "Let me help out."

With a deep breath, Alkor conjured his strength and pushed. Though Life had noticed something on the other side, Alkor was determined to get there. They could figure out what was waiting for them when they got to it. "Come on," he solicited, "let's get this out of the way."

Though it may have been dangerous, Alkor had already witnessed the majority of the group following the tried and true method of "shoot first, ask questions later." Best to keep going with what already worked for them.
