[SP - F4] Damn this cold! <Avalanche> [Complete]

[Macradon 0]

Macradon had heard of a giant ice elemental dropping a rare drop. He was intrigued by this as he had already fought his way through Minotaurs, Sand sharks and alike to get some valuable loot, so why not also take on this challenge. He would walk the long way to the 4th floor where it was a so called "Winter wonderland". Sure it was snow white, as was his hair so that was somewhat pleasing. He would walk into the town, the main settlement of the floor "Snowfrost" he said as his eyes saw the first pair of buildings.

As he walked into the village, everything got warmer, the torches, the bonfires, the happy aura everywhere. This was truly a wonderland with all this cheer and joy. He would go to the first villager he could come in contact with.

"Uhm ... Hello there" he would start out "I'm looking for a field with ice golems" he said to an elderly woman. "Oh, it's not too far from here. Head north and you will see them up the road" she said and took a quick glance from top to toe. "Won't you freeze in that light clothing?" she asked. "Why yes ... it is indeed cold but I haven't found a place to buy some good warm clothes yet. But thanks for caring" he replied and ventured up towards north.

As she told, it really wasn't very far. He only had to walk around 3-5 minutes before he saw a small group of 3 ice golems. He would try to stay out of their aggro range and wait for one of them to isolate itself so he didn't have to bother with all of them at once. He would wait and lurk at them, waiting for one of them to make a mistake. 'This takes forever ...' he thought as he just sat their in the cold waiting for one to make a move. He would just sit and watch ... sit and watch ...

'There' he thought as he saw one of them going too far from the others. He would get into a straight line of sight towards it and prepared for an attack. But it seems like it went for it as he entered the radius of where it would pick up aggro. It charged at him with might but missed. He would run away, trying to kite it even further away.

He would kite it away. Kiting was a technique used in games where one would like the one using a kite, making it go that way the one using it wishes. The same thing was done here. Macradon would kite the golem away from the rest of the flock to isolate it even more, just in case the others would randomly get close enough to draw aggro. When it got to a reasonable range, he would turn around and draw his blade. He would get into a pflug guard and point the point of his sword towards the charging golem. He would use the <Charge> skill and rush forward. He struck it spot on, now he was able to see hoe much health it had. '25 .. that's a lot for a low floor mob' he thought as he saw an attack come from the golem. He would dodge it quickly and roll away to then get up into another guard, the neben.

As the golem got close, he would try to get the attack off. From his neben guard, He would rush forward and go for a lower strike from his lower right to his upper left. The golem would stop up quickly and slam its to giant ice fists together on Crusader and hold it tight. Macradon tried to pull it back but the grip was too strong. The golem used its monstrous power to swing its arms over its head and swing Macradon with him as he was still holding the sword. He was however able to recover from the strong swing and land on his feet as well as still holding his sword.

The golem would continue and pick up a faster pace to attack, it went towards Macradon in a fast pace, faster than Macradon could reach by sprinting. He would try to dodge the oncoming attack, but the golem was just too fast. 'Why is it so fast being a golem made of ice?' he thought as he was pounded into a rock formation by the strong and fast ice golem. Though his armor would take a lot from the hit, it was still an incredibly strong attack. Macradon did not understand how a golem at this floor could be so fast. Low level players would be demolished by this creature.

He would get into vom tag guard and prepare himself for a downwards cut from the upper right to the lower left. As the golem came close, he would clench his hands around the sword and take a deep breath. When the golem came close enough for him to reach, he would strike down with the strongest might he had. Even though his attack was strong and fast, the golem somehow managed to dodge. While it was dodging it shot out a riposte, as strong punch towards Macradon as the golem sidestepped the strike. Macradon was though fast enough to dodge that as well. Jumping forward and rolling down in the snow. 'That was close, it could've hit me hard' he thought as he would catch his breath again.

'Alright, I have to try to strike this one down' he said and prepared himself for a strong strike. He would get into a neben guard and wait for the golem to come close. This tactic has been useful for those with long weapons that aren't mobile, more of like a counter to the shorter weapons whose purpose is to be quick, but lacks the range. He would get down in a lower stance with his legs and focus energy on the upswing of his attack. The golem came close as expected and Macradon's sword would light up, as he rushed forward, the light would dim out and then disappear, he did not succeed in an attack that would've killed the monster. He would strike upwards either way, but the golem would bash the sword aside and then go for a punch at Macradon. He would quickly recover from the attack by pulling the sword up and cover his side a a shield against the bash. He would be pushed down but no real damage taken.

Macradon would get up and see the golem rushing forward, it's bashing arms swung around, trying to get a clean hit at Macradon. He would quickly get away from the attack range and parry the attacks with his sword as well as blocking many of the punches. At last he would get back up in the fighting pace, going for a zorn hau towards the head area of the golem, in which it responded with a block with its big arms. Macradon would continue the attacks by going to a zwerchau which the golem also responded with a block.

Macradon would continue his flurry of attacks by going to a lower strike, quickly shifting to a middle attack and then back to a lower attack. Shifting different strikes so fast eventually the speed and the defense of the golem was being outmatched. And truly, the strikes became cleaner, faster and following the sword's momentum. 'Your sword is your friend, let it lead the way' a phrase he heard once about fighting with heavy weapons like this greatsword, if the sword wants to go a way, let it. He would just keep on swinging and eventually one of his attacks cut the ice golem. It flinched just briefly but it would recover and go for a straight punch forward. Macradon would follow the sword's momentum and step aside from the punch.

Even after these quick and strong strikes, the golem wouldn't go down, in a rage it flung its fists everywhere. It would soon hit Macradon and push him so far away that he had difficulty getting up, but it wasn't lethal because of his helpful armor. He would try to get his mind clean again from this hard attack and get up, but as he got up the golem was already before him.

In a quick response to the quick golem he would turn his sword to the false edge, the sword lit up and he would unleash an attack. He would strike it on the torso area and fling it backwards. As he got it in a reasonable length he would the proceed to stab forward with his sword. As his sword entered the golem's body by the stab, it would freeze and turn into pixels that slowly vanished. He would pick up the loot which was just some col, but it's something. He would then proceed to the next golem.

As he picked up the loot, a dim light brightened up before him and an announcement came into sight. He was quite confused as because of the sudden announcement but also shocked because it was so random for him. But as he read it, he finally understood what happened.

Congratulation!
You have leveled up to level 18

'Ahhh ...' he thought as he would close the announcement and see his EXP-bar start from the bottom again. His health had increased as well and his health had gotten up to full. 'Now it'll be easier to grind these golems' he thought and proceeded to go back to the 'camp' the golems were at.

He would see that one of the golems had already respawned so they were up to 3 golems again. Once again, his tactic was to kite one out and go full ham on it until the big golem would spawn. Though, as he walked up the the group, something big roared out and the ground began to shake. He would look around on guard, confused of what was happening. "Wow" he said as he saw the gigantic ice golem coming forth. The smaller ones ran away from the big one, like it was the big bully from school. Macradon would look at it and be amazed. "This is exactly what I wanted to fight" he said.

[Macradon 0]

He would grab his sword and get into position and charge forward, going with the highest combo attack he could think off straight from his mind. He would use his <Charge> skill and rush forward, as he came into the range of his sword art, it would automatically unleash after the <Charge> skill had ended, chaining them together. He would execute the <Cyclone> sword art and spin around 4 times cleaving into the giant golem. It would roar in pain and begin smashing down onto Macradon. He would deflect the first pair of blows but soon realized he wouldn't be able to keep up with this and ran out of its melee range.

He would look at the giant golem as its movements were slow but quickly gained momentum to smash even great rock formations in one bash. He would try to kite the giant golem away, but it was just too difficult, there were no open spots for him to strike at so all he could do was to run and dodge as much as possible. The giant golem threw its fist at Macradon and smashed him dead on onto the soft snow which the transited into rocky hard ground underneath the snow. This golem was not only faster but also stronger than the other golem. He would cough on the damage dealt to him, trying to sustain himself in the fight.

'Damn you' he thought as he got up again. He saw a big swing coming from the golem, just downwards at the same spot where Macradon was laying. He would get up quickly and parry with his sword at his right side covering the side of his body and blocking the blow out. The friction between the giant ice fist and the steel from the sword made a few sparks, not something which damaged the ice golem at all, only a bit aesthetic pleasing for the sparks to jump around like that. He would rush off again to a spot where he could regain some energy to get a good blow off again. 'I'll get you this time' he thought, panting for air.

This fight was getting more difficult than he was anticipating. He roared as he would raise his sword and prepare himself to do a sword art, but before he could even get into position, a giant fist slammed his sword on the side so it would be pushed away and then another fist smashed Macradon into the ground. 'Dammit! Dammit dammit!' he thought, struggling to get up from the hard blow. 'Of all the creatures beating me, this one is a giant mess' he thought as he slowly tried to regain his durability and attack focus.

'Dammit' he thought as he got up again, he was bruised and couldn't really move that well without too much pain. Even though his armor took so much of the damage, it was still not enough to keep him at his prime. "Arrrgh!" he roared out as he got close enough to unleash a sword art at the ice golem. From the neben at his lower right to a upwards cut diagonally followed by a upwards cut from the other side diagonally and a cut from the side horizontally and to finish it off he slammed down directly down through the golem. He could see its health bars slowly falling down, he was below half already and it was great, because he was sure he wouldn't be able to withstand many more hits.

There he stood all open, triumphing that he already got this far alone, but it wasn't over. He would soon see a fist going fast towards him. He would parry it with a strong swing to keep it away from him. Surprisingly his swing was enough to keep the golem's fist away from him even though the golem could smash rock with ease. He was confused, not knowing what to do now. 'Think think think!' he thought as he tried to find a thing to do, a sword art or another block, but from where.
