[SP-F4] A test of strength <<Avalanche>> [Complete]

[Life 0]

L stood over the paralysed beasts body, it looked up at him, despair was in its eyes. "I'll to make this quick and painless for you" The beasts angst only grew bigger "I was never in doubt of the outcome, but you did give me a good run, i thought i might have actually died" In a desperate time of need everyone has an ace, he was wondering if the beast also had one. As of this moment however the beast was helpless and so he continued to slash at the beasts open chest with all his pleasure and glee to take his advantage.

The beast was free and knocked L back with full force jumping forward to follow up. L spun mid air and landed firmly on his feet, the blow to his chest stung and he found it difficult to breathe. The beast still charging for him roared with determination, it wasn't going to give up that easily. It grunted and snorted as it threw yet another punch, L wasn't going to simply take it this time. He smiled as he noticed the angle, something like that would have led to a critical hit if he had not spent so much energy in the zone. Instead he lazily dodge using the opening to his advantage to carve a deep gash into the beasts armpit.

L prepared to end the fight, the beast was so cut up it could barely move. "I guess it would only be fair to put you out of your misery this time, don't you agree?" Avalanche didn't answer this time, it looked at him with hopeless eyes, it was pathetic really how such a mighty creature would give up so soon. He continued to crush the beasts spirit with his words, something that always proved effective nearing the end of his fights. "Just look at you, the mighty Avalanche all cut up and bruised. It must hurt knowing a player such as myself could defeat you so easily" He walked over to the beast, looking it dead in the eyes as he continued to spit his venom, entrancing the boss with merely his words "I'd say I feel sorry for you but i don't. However i do respect your power. You were a formidable opponent, considering Im a weak and insignificant human" The beasts head dropped low, he was losing more than just one battle now "How pathetic" He placed his blade firmly onto the beasts neck and slashed straight across it kicking the body to the floor in the process. "Just accept defeat and die" The beasts health dwindled to a mere 2%, the next attack would be fatal.

L stood over Avalanches body, looking down on it with his amber eyes, usually calming they now seemed to be set on fire full of confidence. His victory today meant a great deal for many things. He looked around him as some of the other monsters looked at him in awe. "Let this be a lesson to the rest of you all" He pressed his boot against the beasts chin and kicked its jaw to the side. He bent over and picked the beast up by the throat, blood still spilling from it. "Your head is mine" He thew the beast up and severed its head off from its shoulders causing its body to slowly fade away in his hands into particles. His attention then drew over to the cave, the boss was dead, but what was the cave hiding.

The awards screen popped up in front of his face, the quest was complete but he wanted more.

+3 Skill Points

 

Additional loot: 250Col, The head of Avalanche, Red diamond

 

He began to walk into the cave, he was sure he would find something useful in here. The cave was like the insides of a giant igloo, nice a cool but not cold in the slightest. "I wonder what's inside here.."

 

 

Id: 200     Ld:19 + 2 = 21

[Life 0]

The walls of the igloo was smothered in blood and an endless supply of dead bodies sprawled across the floor. "What in the name of god..." He continued to walk through the frozen tomb and came across an icy crevice large enough to pass through. He sighed woefully "Nothing ventured nothing gained.."  He ignored the stench and pressed through the rocky ice, what he saw on the other side was more horrifying then anything he had ever seen. It was so horrifying and disgusting that he almost puked.

[Life 0]

The stood another alter. Far from where he was standing but he could tell it was an alter make from human skin. The room was circular and had a cross like platform with a very large drop underneath it, the alter was on the other side and there were two rooms off to the side. He knew if he wanted anything out of this he would have to sacrifice something. He didn't even have to look at the large drop below him to obviously know it was filled with corpses. He stood in the centre of the room, he wasn't going to make the mistake of going to the alter first, he would need some sort of compensation for it's trouble, much like with the other one he had spotted on floor 3, those who didn't give blood were impaled with spikes. He didn't feel like losing any skin to add to its collection so he looked to his left and right.

[Life 0]

On the left was a large open room, it  had banners covering the walls and weapon racks. It was predictably a test of strength, he wasn't too sure of what these tests were but if he could remember correctly the tomb he was in last time had banners on the wall when he slew the Ancient Black serpent, this battle would be harder but he didn't think it would be any more difficult than avalanche was. To the right the entrance was cut off by an icy corridor, it was hard to notice but he could tell there was a feint glow of red light. "My oh my, which one do i choose. Potential death or potential death" He grimaced at the thought of it, he wasn't sure what the room to the right would hold but he knew once he had found what he was looking for the alter would collapse along with the icy wall behind it leaving him free to go with a reward, or at least that's what he hoped. His shinigami arm guards were a testament to his findings and they seemed to humm violently at the presence of the other alter. Perhaps enemy territory?

[Life 0]

He decided he'd wait it off a bit, he needed to recover. Luckily he had some bread and water left, he didn't want to 'cheat' but these kind of tests where unpredictable. He took a bite, it was as dry and distasteful as always, he washed it down with some of the water and got up once he finished. It wasn't the best meal but it gave him the stats. He turned left giving a soft sigh before he made his way into the battle room. It was just as he expected, it was set up like an arena, with weapons mounted and banners flying caused by the icy wind coming from a moderately sized crevice at the top right of the icy cave. There were three gates and a large medallion shaped platform with some kind of keyhole on it. "I guess avalanche won't be my only test of strength.." He sighed and readied his weapon slowly stepping onto the platform.

There were three gates in front of him, each too dark to see into. The platform and his shinigami armguards both hummed in anticipation as he heard a whisper inside his head. "He's the one... we must test him! What if he fails? Then he is not worth it and he must be destroyed" Voices like that were always appreciated inside his head he thought to himself. The gates opened and a sea of enemies poured out from the side gates, two read gleaming eyes peering out from the shadow, it must be huge. The beastly gremlin like creatures grabbed for their weapon and surrounded him "If you wish to be obliterated so badly then allow me to oblige" He swung his sword around to warm up a bit as he examined the horde of enemies. The ranked up his curved sword skill, this would be interesting.

~Mysterious figure: ???/???

The horde bashed their steel together chanting gibberish. None of it made a difference to him wether there be 40 of them or 40,000 he would eliminate them all. It was the figure in the background he feared the most, as they say fear the unknown. He got into a stance and yelled from the top of his lungs "BRING IT!" The horde of beasts charged with their weapons raised into the air, he slid his feet across the floor as he examined each enemy approaching planning out his attack pattern. The first one was a sacrificial piece so that the rest could pile on, he merely stepped it and worked on the inner workings of the font line cutting three down with ease. The first one grunted as to not to be ignored, he got what he wanted as its head popped off its shoulders. Two more came from behind, a simple and meaningless rush he backflipped over them swinging his blade at the apex slicing through both of their heads in one go. The front lined seemed to be in a ruckus from his strategic placements and attacks.

A small squad made a rush for him, another pathetically feeble attempt to trick him. He ignored the first two jumping off their heads and kicking the other two to the floor as he executed them with a single stroke of his blade. He turned swiftly to meet the surprise attack of the two behind him, though it wasn't much of a surprise to him at all. He pushed them both back and darted forward stabbing one of them in the throat and cutting the other down with a lazy blade in quick succession. It was happening all in just mere seconds, explosion after explosion of golden light.

The beasts began to grow tired of the small skirmishes, they were growing desperate. They sent a full squadron in for an attack completely surrounding him. "You want to see overwhelming odds? I'll show you!" L lowered his stance and raised his blade in front if his face. He waited for them to get close and released his tense muscles blowing away the attackers in a spectacular fashion of blinding light as his arm. 4 of the beasts went flying blowing up into millions of particles, the rest of the horde backing of slightly

The hordes numbers began to lessen as he continued cutting them down left and right. He was enjoying himself greatly and the mysterious figure seemed to give off a deep satisfied chuckle his eyes still gleaming off in the shadow. L didn't take notice of the malevolent laughing and cut down two more beasts. Another two ran from behind and he simply turned and cut down both. The mysterious figures laughter continued and talked to itself "Very, Oh so Very Interesting" His amber eyes flashed a glance at the shadows, unsure of the mysterious figures next move or its self indulgent in the situation.

He was once again in the zone, this time not from intense concentration, but from blissful slaughter. It was the mysterious figures exact intentions, for this to happen, for him to be consumed in battle. Ecstasy filled L as he cut 4 foes down at once, an insane wide mouthed smile spread across his face. He was panting heavily wide eye'd, adrenaline rushed through him it was beautiful. Show me more.. more.... The mysterious figure edged closer wanting to get a better look at the beauty of his madness, still in the shadows.

The mysterious figure couldn't help but laugh more as blood and guts splattered everywhere, it seemed the gore feature was permanently on for this arena. The foes he felt were much too weak, it was almost like whoever made this wanted him to go mad with pleasure. He was a like a demonic blur slaughtering one foe after the other with a swift and elegant flick of the wrist extended through his blade. The explosions were like fireworks being set off every second, he was afraid this time he would go mad with glee. One, two dash three, four, five, flip six. It all happened so fast and the numbers of the enemies began to dwindle.

Blood covered Life's face and body like he was painting something messily, a sick song played in the background to match the scene, quite but dreary hums, a choir of the angels of death singing to him as each for he cut let out a cry the rest of them lost the will will to fight completely, it was a one sided slaughter since the beginning.

 

 Absolutely beautiful.. This time he heard the voice clear as day, it was inside his head. L looked around still noticing the two red eyes inside the shadows, it hadn't moved at all. The was a soft moan of sadistic pleasure, it wasn't a male as he had originally thought, the eyes lowered and shrunk as the woman walked out of the shadows completely baffling him. His eyes where still wide with blood smeared on the sides. Do not stop now.. The voice said with a sick twisted laugh.

 

The small beasts continued to charged when they saw their leader on the battlefield only to be abandoned and slaughter by L one after the other. The female put a soft hand on the boys shoulder trailing he long fingernail up the side of his neck leaning in closer to the side of his face, inches away from his ears and whispered into them, kill the rest of them.

The woman was a like a succubus without the exaggerated 'assets', she had purple lips with gold dangling earrings and a long red dress embroidered with golden material, on her head she had ornamental horns, they looked very real, he couldn't really tell if they were or weren't, she didn't have a tail as far as he could tell and she also bore no wings. She was no longer visible to him, she was like a blur in the background whispering to his ears kill, kill,kill! As he continued to slaughter them one after the other. The horde had become two small gremlins scared out their wits for their life.

He struggled against the words in his head, it wasn't right at all. Kill them! I'll grant you power beyond your wildest dreams! No... he was going to kill them all right but.. "IM NOT DOING THIS FOR YOU, YOU COY [censored]" His voice boomed throughout the room scaring the life out of the two remaining gremlins he turned in frustration trying to hit the woman but there was nothing there. Had he officially gone mad? He collapsed to the floor grabbing onto his head as visions of death flashed through his mind "[censored] not now... please not now..." The sharp pain in his mind increased to grow as the visions became worse, it was the worst it had ever been this time the woman accompanying the slaughter in his mind. "please... get out... please...." His voice became a pathetic whimper as his warm amber eyes transitioned into a dark red, it seemed as though every time he had one of his visions his eyes would mirror the blood splattered everywhere.

The woman smiled as her prey succumbed to her subterfuge, each word she spoke hammered into his mind like a drum clouding his thought. The whole room was a permanent crimson, the walls oozed with blood as he eye'd the last two enemies enjoy yourself with them.. "Yes... m'lady" He sauntered over to the last two gremlins, terror in their eyes as he towered over them. He reached out to one of the with a wide palm clasping its head firmly and lifted it high. He gave off an evil smile as he squeezed the beasts head harder his eyes widening as it squealed in pain "Pop" He put his full strength into it, the gremlin giving of a small yelp as its whole body exploded in his hand. He looked over at the last one, he was going to have some fun with that one. He picked it up and inserted his blade into its stomach cutting it open wide allowing its entrails to spill he bit its neck and licked the blood off spitting it back in its face as it cried in torment "DIE" He severed its head from its shoulders, its body dropping a bit before exploding into polygons. Great work.. my pet... the voice mused as he breathed heavily still wide eye'd and insane the pleasure of killing had got to him as the woman clouded his only voice of reasoning. Now like a good boy you'll get your.. reward, take the small medallion in the centre and bring it to the alter..
