[SP-F5] Blood in the Sand

[Shanok 0]

Shanok was wandering about in the desert of the fifth floor. He had heard about a field boss that was supposed to spawn in the area he was now in. The boss was described as a shark, swimming in sand, yes, swimming. Shanok was confused when he read that sentence, he thought it was weird that they had employed the word swimming there, but then again, he was in a game, in which anything could be possible.

As he was thinking about all that, the Sand Shark appeared behind him, jumping over a sand dune and diving back in the sand, leaving only his fin to be seen above the sand. Shanok quickly turned around to face the fin, he drew his sword and waited for the shark to surface again.

As soon as he saw the shark surface he tried to hit it but miscalculated the distance and missed. The shark flew over him as it tried to hit him with his fins but it failed horrible and went back under the sand.

Shanok waited for the shark to surface again, which took a bit of time since the shark just stayed under the sand for a bit, but as soon as it came out, Shanok went for the hit, and he missed again, the shark had dodged the attack and tried to bite him. As the shark went down on him, Shanok rolled to the side, easily dodging the shark's jaws. I have a feeling that this'll be going on forever... he thought.

The shark quickly went for Shanok again and this time, Shanok had done everything correctly and hit the shark right in the face, "Take that Sharky!" he said as the shark also hit him for a bit of damage before falling and flopping on the sand and then going back under it. Shanok focused on following the shark's fin to predict where it'd come out from to make sure that he wouldn't miss his next attack.

The fin had disappeared, the shark had burrowed deeper under the sand, hiding himself from Shanok. It seemed to have learned that by showing his fin Shanok was able to see where he would come out and therefore, hid itself deeper. It jumped out behind Shanok and tackled him, dealing a bit of damage and diving under the sand right after, leaving Shanok no opportunity to attack the shark. Damn it, it's hiding its fin under the sand now... Shanok thought to himself while trying to come up with a way to know where the shark was going to come from.

The shark came out of the sand right in front of Shanok and tried to tackle him again. Shanok easily dodged and tried to hit the shark with his sword but he missed the shark just by a few inches. This really is going to be a long fight after all he thought and sighed at the fact that he was going to be stuck here for a while.

Shanok waited for the shark to appear again, but he didn't see him coming as it came from behind and tackled him again. Doing once again just a small amount of damage as Shanok's armor was too strong for the shark's attack. Damn it, I just keep either missing or it comes from behind...

The shark jumped at Shanok again and this time, Shanok saw it and managed to land a good hit on him and so did the shark. They both hit each other at the same time making Shanok trip and the shark just flop to the ground. "Take that!" he shouted as he finally managed to hit the shark.

Shanok watched closely as the shark's fin moved above the sand. This time, the shark didn't try to jump instead it show a bit of its face and spat sand at Shanok, who managed to easily dodge the sand and attemp to stab the shark. The attempt ended up in failure as the shark dove back under the sand leaving only its fin to be seen.

After missing its last attack, it seemed that the shark didn't want to use that attack again seeing how easily Shanok dodged and so it went back to its old jumping and diving. This time it tried to hit Shanok in the back again but Shanok turned around as soon as he heard noises behind him, indicating that the shark had come out of the ground. As he turned around he quickly slashed at the shark hitting it from under and making it miss the tackle that it was about to try to Shanok with.

Shanok attempted to hit the shark again as it soared above him, missing yet again. The shark also missed its attack so no harm was done. "Hey Sharky, you need to get on my level, look at what you've done to me, and what I've done to you. Clearly, I'm better than you, just give up!" he said out loud even though the shark couldn't talk and probably couldn't even understand.

The shark made yet another attempt to tackle the obviously superior player and failed miserably. Just as it tried to do that, Shanok also tried to attack the shark but failed yet again, but that is only because the shark failed so horribly that it went out of range, if it weren't for that, Shanok would've hit that overgrown fish.

The shark tried its spit attack again but failed as Shanok once again easily dodged it and went for a hit. He managed to stab the shark inside its mouth making it flip violently on its back before diving back under the sand. That was a good hit!" he thought to himself as he watched the shark go under the sand.

The shark quickly resurfaced and hit Shanok where it hurts. That's right, he tackled him right in the balls, leaving Shanok kneeing on the ground in pain before jumping above him. As he was kneeing on the ground because of his reflex of feeling pain, Shanok saw the shark fly right above him and saw an opportunity to attack it and so he did, landing a critical hit on the monster. "See? You're the weak one here Sharky!" he shouted to the monster.

The shark made yet another attempt to tackle the player, this time, hitting him again but at the same time Shanok slashed his sword at the shark, making it fall to the ground before disappearing in a flash of light blue crystals. "See? I told you I was stronger, Sharky" he said before reading what was written on the window that had appeared in front of him. "Level up? Sweet!" he exclaimed as he felt the joy of leveling up after such a long time.
