(VR MMORPG)Story of Creation:ruins of symphony part 6
| "I-Is it strange to speak like so?"
> Aria was taken aback by the notice Nova made.
| "Well, i think it's cool."
>Shima is giving Aria a complement
| "Thank you, but perhaps I have not been taking this form of speech in a while — thus, I may be confusing you."
> There's no sign of her drowsiness anymore, Aria seems to have elevated herself out of it.
"But is this not quite fitting? We are heading for a battle that may very well be the last in this raid."
> She smiled at the rampaging beast behind the doors.
"—And to abolish a resenting beast is such a knightly task to uphold."
| "HoHo~ I'd rather you be my princess. But a female knight is respectable as well"
>Golden laughs heartily, In stance with his(her) shield prepared
| >Beryl having already equipped the armored maid outfit from earlier, stands far to the side watching calmly
| "Well..looks like this is the last part of the raid. And the last boss is a fierce beast..cool"
>Shima became more spirited
"Thus, fighting a fierce beast is better than fighting an ugly moving statue."
>Shima cast some buffs
[Battle Aura]
>Increase 15% physical dmg and 25% magic dmg
[Evasive Aura]
>Add +15% rate to successfully dodge an attack (+3 dice roll for dodging)
| >the boss bust out of the gate.
>it was horrifying, it was shaped like a giant spider entirely mechanical,where its eyes should be there are ruined decapitated statue heads,its legs made of statue arms and legs, each individual limb still writhing trying to grab whatever it can, its body was not made out of any statue components but entirely ruined, exposed electric wiring and broken looing machinery covering it,it was horrifying.
(1/2 pls dont replie untill then)
| >it let out a roar,unlike the last 2 it was *DEAFENING*,as if a storm of lost souls simultaneously screamed it ones ear, the entire time mechanical whirring with it.
>in its mouth it looks like each tooth is a serrated chainsaw.
Ahur dios criste!
>nova yells in shock
Reina suppression tactics!
>nova and his maid then move in to a flurry of attacks,none of wich seem to do damage but they do open up opportunities to strike.
ITS OCCUPIED HIT IT!

| (2/2 yall can replie now)
| (I won't roll, but I'm making Aria fail here.)
> With only a blink, Aria had charged forward, leaving her other party members behind.
"—Fall!"
> Aria desperately tries to harness a strike with her sword, but none of them returned any damage.
> Instead, one of her strikes had thrown her back, as the metal clangs against the sword — it leaves her defenses wide open.
| >Shima is surprised by what Aria is doing
"Wai..Aria! What are you doing?!"
"Gah, don't just charge in like that!"
>Shima attempts to get the boss's aggro
"A quick spell should be enough i think"
>Shima cast a spell and aims it toward the boss's head
[Light beam]
(20)
>It hits perfectly at the boss's head, but it only does a very small damage
"Wha..that doesn't do much?"
| "Have you forgotten what I'm here for"
>Golden unequips his tower shield to cast [Challenge]. A pair of magnificent, shining white birds flip from his hands. They glow an insulting brightness
| > Aria attacks yet again, dealing absolutely zero damage and gave only scratches to see.
"—Ugh."
> She kept trying and trying, but nothing works for her.
| (we need some information about the boss's HP and if possible include some weakpoints)
>Shima speaks to Golden
"Ah Golden, good timing! I don't know why Aria is doing some kind of suicidal attack"
"This gimmick..usually bosses like this has some weakpoints on their body"
>She then looks at the boss, carefully scanning the horrifying body, hoping for finding some weakspots
| >>183591
(I second the HP information, but Aria will keep doing the blind attack anyway.)
> One strike, two strikes, three strikes. At this point on, Aria had wasted all of her Stamina on delivering mindless attacks.
"—Once more."
> Her swipes have done nothing, the scratches on the boss is more apparent, but they all deliver approximately little damage to the boss, way too insignificant to count.
| "Normally she would've taken a mote cautious, strategic approach. At least some use of her [Clairvoyance]"
"I wonder what has overtaken her"
>Golden thinks out loud
| > Seemingly in a frenzy, Aria has covered a large portion of the boss' legs with scratches, like a key scratching a car's coat of paint.
"Again!"
> She quickly refilled her Stamina in a jiffy, striking deafly at the points she scratched. She uses the best out of her agility and her [Sharpen], slashing out more smears of scratches in the boss' legs.
| >Shima yells loudly towards Aria
"HEY ARIA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"QUICKLY BACK OFF BEFORE THAT THING KILLS YOU!"
| > But Aria doesn't listen, she has burnt about two stamina potion by now, doing nothing but actively dodging and slashing the boss.
"—Once more!"
> The boss' HP barely drops, not even a 1% drop can be seen.
| >Shima is confused, seemingly at loss of what to do
"Gah..this is bad.."
"Aside from the boss's hard body, Aria is doing some barbaric actions..which is pretty unusual of her"
>Shima is thinking
"If a brute force won't do anything, then there must be a way to deliver damage to the boss.."
| (gah sorry i was stuck on the father gascoinge fight.sorry
>morphine)
(Corrupted automaton lvl 45 10000 HP) (roll D20 for weak spot info)
| (gah sorry i was stuck on the father gascoinge fight.sorry

| (16 -Ryz)
| (Golden wouldn't know)
| >>183689
(Not rolling because Aria blind attack. Also, spam those music box away!)
"Gah—.."
> Aria has downed her third potion despite contributing nothing to the fight. Her barbaric attack returns after her stamina recovers.
| "this is actually getting pretty sad. Shall I pull her back?"
>Golden looks to the rest of the party
| (blah blah blah something or other causes shima to learn that the boss has high DEF but is weak in the eyes)
>nova and reina continue to distract the boss
| > And then, finally, after the boss was distracted, Aria stops attacking.
"—I trust every single one of you to finish the boss off!"
> She stays still, calming her panicking breath.
"NOVA! LEAD IT TO ME!"
| >>183724
(kk cool >>183722 is retconned)
I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!
>nova then baits the boss towards aria.
| (i'm sorry, i need to go sleep now..you guys can just control or put my character to bot mode -Shima)
| >the boss is then near aria.
>it looks like its about to charge her.
| >>183728
"LET'S HOPE SO!"
> Aria begins chain-activating some of her skill, rending her stamina and mana to a near-zero.
> Sparks of electricity encircles her and her sword. Her mouth is moving, possibly quietly casting a spell of her own.
"O Thunder—"
> [Lightning Rod] was activated to ensure a electricity buff, but instead of striking forward, she points her sword up front—
| (12 for Stun attempt and 18 for Paralyze attempt.)
"—At hands of your foe—"
> Electricity begins building in the boss' legs — it all builds exactly where Aria scratches the boss!
"—Strike them to despair!"
> [Thunderstorm] is activated in a brink — Aria plans on completely disabling the boss of its movement!
| >the boss looks like its malfunctioning due to the overdose of electricity.
>its legs stop moving but the hands that make it still writhe
| (I'll be AFK, this is a nice place to leave the fight.)
> Aria fell to the ground, only supported by the sword planted in the ground.
"Agh—.. Not now—Ugh..."
> She weakly recovers from her real-life drowsiness, but it's apparent that she is still suffering from it.
|
|
|
| "GOLDEN, BERYL, REINA!"
> Aria shouts, seeing the opportunity to launch the plan she has been having.
"PIN THE BOSS TO THE NEAREST WALL!"
> With the boss largely disabled due to [Thunderstorm], it wouldn't be able to object to being pinned even further.
"SNIPERS AND LONG RANGE ATTACKERS, DELIVER FURY ON ITS HEAD!"
> Aria herself knows not of the weakness of the boss: she was merely guessing through process of elemination.
| >although perplexed under the helmet, Golden might as well try. He runs inti the boss with [Overrun]
| >Beryl however, is locked to stay out of combat
| >>185336
"—Curses. I forgot he commanded Beryl that way."
> Aria says, under her breath as she sees Golden charging forward onto the boss.
| >nova and reina cannot help amy farther then suppression.
| >nova and reina cannot help amy farther then suppression.
| >>185430
> Aria looked at Nova and Reina, who seems to be unable to help along the plan.
"—I need a replanning now, ugh."
| >The thing is huge. Golden doesnt really manage to do anything besides crashing into it
| >the boss looks like its legs can move again soon.
| "Improvise. Improvise."
> Aria kept mumbling, opening her skill list every now and then.
"GOLDEN, BACK OFF! WE WILL NEED TO RETHINK!"
> Her tired expression has been wrenched to form that of a mix of panic and seriousness.
| "ho~ why not try that thing Nova does. Chant and all"
>Golden lumbers backwards
| (Irl shit happened)
"REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED"
>Trapped shouts, after somehow losing thr party again
| >>185496
TRAPPED THANK GOD! NUKE THE DAMN THING, PLEASE!
>nova says while struggling to keep his defense up
| >>185496
TRAPPED THANK GOD! NUKE THE DAMN THING, PLEASE!
>nova says while struggling to keep his defense up
| >Trapped smirks, though, from where she's standing (very far away) it's hard to see what she *can* do. She is however, spinning in circles
"CHEW ON THIS"
>She throws her giant sword at the spider's face
| >it wreaks its face by a good sum.
>(7840/10000)
| >The sword sticks into the spiders face, and Trapped shrugs
"Well shit, i'm out of swords, anyone got any ideas?"
| >>185518
>nova cast [ether thether] on trapped sword.
>the sword flys back to its owner.
(roll to catch pls)
| >>185518
>nova cast [ether thether] on trapped sword.
>the sword flys back to its owner.
(roll to catch pls)
| >>185518
"Throw the smaller assemblage you keep around?"
>At this point Golden is just standing around by the monster
| >>185525
>the boss gets back up.
>it looks like its about to charge at aria with its chainsaw teeth.
| >Golden. Having run out of things to do jumps into its mouth
| "Oh shit"
>nat 2
>Trapped is impaled by her own sword, not instantly killing her thanks to [Enduring] But still. Not fun
| >Golden spams [harden] while inside. Also pondering his life and choices
| >>185542
>nova was too far to see that.
>>185539
Hentai jesus Christ golden what are you doing?!!?!
>nova says in shock.
>the bosses chainsaw teeth gets stuck and stop completely because of goldens supreme tankieness
| "I WENT TO ANALYZE MY SKILLS AND WE'RE ALREADY AT ZERO DEGREES"
> Aria both sarcastically and in panic, shouted at the party's doing.
"Okay, this is it."
> Aria drank the last mana potion she had, and slowly, the air starts circling around her hand.
> Unequipping her sword, Aria grasps the air, in turn, calling for her [Sword of Air]
"—Okay, eyes. Work on me now."
> Before she lunges in a desperate attempt to attack, she collects more of the air around her.
| "Ha- I- dis- -abled -easts -atck-ack- ha- -ah"
>Golden manages to stick out a thumbs up from inside its mouth
| >>185598
Du brillanter verrückter Motherfucker! ich werde mich an dich erinnern!
>nova says in surprise at the sight.
| "—Okay."
> For some odd reason Aria isn't going forward with the attack? She stands still in a tranquil, collecting more air — at this point on, the air around her forms a small vortex in her hand.
|
| (waiting
>morphine)
| (waiting)
-Golden
| (Very late, as usual.)
> As the more air gather, the gust becomes clearer and clearer — stronger than ever.
"Spare me some more minutes!"
> Aria shouted to a particular nobody, anyone that can give her the time is who she is looking for.
"—And believe in the luck I have! This is going to be very stupid!"
| >>186738
"Zeroing in.."
> Aria waits for that exact second to launch her assault; she steadily waits, letting the spider have the first roll.
"Come now, fiend!"
| >>186745
(13 roll)
>The spider recklessly charges in at aria,the each of the individual arms composing its legs try to grab and strangle her.
| >>186745
(13 roll)
>The spider recklessly charges in at aria,the each of the individual arms composing its legs try to grab and strangle her.
| >>186762
(11 for dodge, and 15 for actually sprinting and climbing the spider)
> Aria was able to barely barrel roll and sidestep most of the attack, although damage was still inflicted upon her — her HP drops rapidly to 1150 from the resulting near-miss attacks.
> And as a leg crashes in front of her, she uses the chance to slipstream forward with the air behind her — climbing her way up to the spider's abdomen.
"—THIS LOOKS LIKE A SANE PLAN TO ME!"
| (regards from Golden chillin in its mouth)
| >>186778
(Okay, so, can we have Shima do 'Explosion'? It's the only thing missing from this KonoSuba episode, haha.)
| (I forgot to visit the tread yesterday, sorry)
"Finally..i was able to identify this grimoire"
>Grimoire ; Amplify the user's magics and changes magic behavior when equipped
> +50% Magic damage
"Sorry guys, i'm late!"
>Shima shouts
| (10/10 would actually love getting exploded)
| >Trapped groans
"Sure, leave the loli impaled to this wall, what could possibly go wrong..."
| (It got hot and sweaty so she needs air)
| >>186782
(Explosion sounds like an A+ creativity.)
"SHIMA, DO YOU KNOW ANY WEAKNESS OF THE BOSS?!"
> Aria shouts to Shima whilst rodeo-ing her position in the spider's abdomen.
"I DON'T THINK THIS PLAN COULD GET ANY STUPIDER!"
> She scans the boss' abdomen, trying to see if there is any kind of place she can impale it with her [Sword of Air].
| >>186793
(Uh-huh, I know that, but Aria doesn't, and Shima hasn't told anyone, and can we please stop for a moment and think about spider rodeo? *shivers*)
| >>186786
>Shima scans around before proceeding and just noticed that Trapped was impaled in the wall
"Wait..what, sorry, i didn't notice you there!"
>She quickly approaches Trapped and attempts pull the sword
"Hngh..!"
>Trapped is now free from the wall
"Umm.. you don't need any heal, right?"
>Shima is going toward the boss
>>186791
>She shouts back
"I DON'T REALLY KNOW! I WAS THINKING TO JUST BLOW UP THIS THING WHILE TRYING MY NEW GRIMOIRE!"
| >>186798
(Was wondering as well. My spider anatomy scale only goes up to Goliath Birdeater.)
>>186797
(14 for impaling the sword down.)
"HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW?!"
> Deciding that a stable position is more important, Aria stabs the sword down to the boss' abdomen — possibly piercing it deep.
> She holds onto it as the air forms an even stronger vortex around the boss — actually worsening Aria's stability.
| "Err.."
>Shima is lost in thoughts, recalling what was happened when she attacked the boss before
"(Hmm..when i attacked the boss..it doesn't deal much damage. What possibly could go wrong..? Oh wait, i think i saw something white when attacking..was it the boss's eye? Usually, bosses are weak in the eye.)"
>Shima then shouts at Aria
"ARIA, TRY ATTACKING THE BOSS ON THE EYE!"
| >>186811
(17. Okay, I'm going to keep rolling for stability even after this.)
"WHAT?! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!! I'M IN THE BACKSEAT — I'M TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE EYE!"
> Aria complains in a loud voice, she struggles to stay on, as the air is still whirling around her, knocking her stance easily.
"TRY SHOOTING SOMETHING TO IT! I'LL KEEP IT DISTRACTED IN THE MEANTIME!"
> A bit of the air was dispelled, forcibly pushing the Aria in the process.
| "Let's see.."
>Shima opens her skill menu, and scroll through the skills
"Hmm..? what is this?"
>She noticed that there is a new skill acquired from equipping the grimoire, the skill name was [Meteor Crash]
>Skill info ; Call a gigantic meteor from the sky, Dealing a very large AoE attack. Requires chanting before activation
"Wow, gotta try this"
>She then learns the chants
| >>186822
(12. Ugh.)
"WOAH—NONONO!"
> Aria was almost sent off by the strong turbulence, the air becoming nigh-uncontrollable, and the spider itself tries to yank Aria out.
"—CHANT, CHANT, CHANT!"
> In a panic, Aria has nothing else to say.
| (Sorry i just came back from dinner, and also, it's quite busy here)
>>186822
(I decided to change the skill, since it's plain and almost present in every RPGs kek)
>[Stellar Showdown]
>Call down a rain of huge stars from the sky
>She then starts chanting (Requires 3 rolls above 15 to succeed, 10 lines in total, Additional follow up attack for 20)
(i'm suck at creativity)
>She starts chanting
/O dear thou stars in the sky/
/Thou shall hear my call/
(50)
| >>186844
(18.)
"SHIMA, I LIKE TO HEAR YOUR ARIA AT A MUCH FASTER TEMPO!"
> Aria complains, as she rotates steadily in an orbit to the whirlwind her spell has generated.
"I DON'T THINK THIS ROLLERCOASTER IS FREE OF POSSIBLE INJURIES!"
| /Thou stars shall fall/
/And rain down to the surface/
(6)
| >>186846
(i feel like doing some pain today)
>some of the hands form bodys and climb to aria and attack.
| /Every living shall extinct/
/Leaving everything at nothingness/
(17)
| >>186850
(11 for staying, and 7 for dispelling the hands.)
"I LIKE NO SENTIENT HANDS IN MY ROLLERCOASTER!"
> Aria focuses on her [Sword of Air], letting it charge before dispelling it wildly — like a fire from a shotgun, from which every direction is pushed equally.
"SHIMASHIMASHIMA!"
> The push however, may have done nothing, seeing that it had only pushed Aria.
| /Heed my call!/
/And pour it down!/
>A magic circle appears beneath her
(12, 2 more lines)
| >>186856 >>186860
>the beast lets out a deafening roar.
>shima is put back 2 lines
>>186857
>moar hands try to grab aria
| /EVERYTHING SHALL EXTINCT/
/RAIN IT DOWN AND WIPE THEM ALL!/
(8..oo my gosh)
>A giant magic circle appears in the sky..but it does nothing
"What the..did i forgot a line?"
>>186865
>She got pushed back
"G-Gah! Why is this thing so loud!?"
"At least the circle is still there, i got to try random chants"
(note that the magic circles is still there)
| >Trapped groans, fumbling around fot a pottion. She eventually findd one, and gets to het feet
"HEY, HANDS OFF HER"
>She throws her sword... again
| (roll)
| (Gotta roll a 18 or above to succeed)
/GATHER AND FALL!/
(15)
"Eh..gotta try another one"
| >>186865
(16 for staying, but I dropped this to 13 to make up for the hands. 10 for air dispel again.)
"OFF ME, YOU MONGRELS!"
> Aria charges the air, forming a focused whirlwind — she releases it in a strong blast, equating to an explosive vacuum explosion.
> It throws Aria off her hold of the sword, one of her hand is now being grabbed by the sentient hand of the boss.
"GUH—CURSES!"
| >Shima tries another chant
/BLAST THEM ALL!/
(10)
"Uh..not this one either"
| >>186872
>nova is now trying to help pick of the hands with his sniper while reina is harrasing the boss.
>MOAR HANDS
| >And another chant
(2/4 tries until failed)
/EXPLOSSIOOOON!/
(10)
"Well..of course that wouldn't work.."
| >Chants again
(3/4)
/RAIN OF JUDGMENT!/
(1 rly)
| >>186882
(I rolled 9-3; 6 for staying, and 19 for the whirlwind "attack".)
"UGH—AAAAA!"
> Aria was barely staying. Barely. Some of the sentient hands were knocked off but her grip on the raging winds are loosing off.
"THIS IS BAD!"
> She charges the wind again, letting the air collect as the whirlwind spins further — digging into the boss' abdomen even further.
| >Shima is frustrated
"Gaah! Why is there none of it works!?"
"I'm already running out of ideas!"
(4/4)
>Chants for the last time
/MAKE IT RAIN AND WIPE THEM ALL!/
>She failed to cast it and then the magic circles vanishes
"...I can't believe i wasted all of my MP for nothing.."
>Shima shrugs
| >>186896
(12 for staying still in the rodeo.)
> From across the room Aria pulls out a mana potion from her inventory, and lunges it to Shima (or to a direction near to her — the wind isn't helping.)
"PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE MORE TRICKS UP YOUR SLEEVE!"
> On the other, literal hands, Aria is still unable to regain a better position. She is freely hurled in the direction where the boss and the wind pushes her to.
| >>186900
(12 for the potion)
>The potion lands near Shima, with the enough distance between her and Potion, it was able to recover her MP
>Shima shouts at Aria
"ALL RIGHT, I GOTTA TRY ANOTHER ONE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE POTION!"
>She opens her skill menu once again, and found another new skill
>[Archer Stance] Changes your staff into a magic bow, and changes other skills into ranged skills
"Uhh..another one that relies on aiming? well..doesn't matter.."
| >>186905
HURRY UP THERE ARE TO MANY HANDS, I DONT THINK ARIA CAN HOLD OFF ANY MORE OF THEM!.
>nova yells
| >She then cast the buff
[Archer Stance]
"I gotta kill this ugly thing"
>She cast a skill
[Charged Flash Arrow]
>She charges the arrow
(13 for charging)
>She aims at the boss's eye
"I'm suck at FPS, sorry!"
>She then shoots the charged arrow
(17)
>The arrow hits the boss's eye, right almost to the middle, making the boss screaming in pain
| (10-3. 7, ugh.)
"I'M STARTING TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE!"
> Aria comments on either the hands, or the fact that her lithe body is shaken freely by the wind.
| (L - L e w d)
| (Is Golden just stuck there jammed in its teeth like floss in braces or does he take immense damage?)
| >>186916
(13-3. 10 for the staying. Why do I suck so much at this?)
> The sentient hands started holding off to Aria, weighing her down. From her left hand, up to her shoulders, and her face. At this point on, Aria is grabbed in all various not-so-comfortable places.
"I DON'T REMEMBER SIGNING UP FOR THIS!"
| >>186923
(lewd)
>Shima sighs
"..looks like i was the only one available attacker in the moment"
>She readies another skill, still in archer stance
"I really suck at FPS tbh, this is the same as relying in RNG"
>She aims at the boss's eye again
"Here it goes.."
[Detonating Arrow]
>Skill effect ; cause a large explosion upon detonating
(16)
>The arrow hits and attached in the boss eye
>Then she do a cool pose and grasp her hand while shouting
"EXPLOOSION!!"
>KABOOM
| >>186933
(I rolled a 3. Well, down we go.)
"I'M TRYING TO—AAAA!"
> The spell Shima casted had thrown Aria, and the grabby sentient hands, out from where they were.
> Aria is flung meters away from the boss, carrying a few of the persistent hands with her (or more accurately, along with her.)
> As she landed, she was unable to break it, resulting in her flopping her landing — her HP drops to 1000.
> Some of the hands are still attached on her body, oddly enough.
| (I was wondering, if there is actually something that covers the boss eye from attacks, since it seems always open)
| >>186939
(Because spiders don't have eyelids, let's assume that the boss' eyes are also always open.)
| >>186941
(Although, with creative endeavours in mind, I think that could be twisted to fit some kind of strange demonic eyelids.)
| "HAH -AH -its -grip -n my kid- -neys weak- -nns!"
>Golden laughs through being tangled in the beast's teeth. Voice cut around from the monster's thrashing which takes Golden along
| "—Ugh.. I'm... alive."
> Aria stands up, noticing the few hands grabbing her legs and one in her left hand. She trashes them all to let go of herself.
> The [Sword of Air] was still planted in the boss' abdomen, but it is getting progressively weaker as it loses contact from its caster.
"Curses—.. I don't have any mana potion strong enough to recover that."
> She notices her inventory of mana potion going low — only the numbered weaker ones are available.
| >>186947
>Shima yells at Nova
"NANI THE DUCK ARE YOU SAYING!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD!
>Shima take a potion out from her inventory and chug it down
"Heh..it tastes like sprite"
>She throws one at Aria
"There, catch it"
>Shima turns her magic bow into a spear, nullifying the previous stance
[Throwing stance]
"Time to make some changes.."
>She then throws the spear to the boss's eye
[Gungnir]
"HEAAA!"
(9)
>The spear missed the eye and hit the body near the boss instead
| >>186956
"Thank you but—"
>>186957
"Code red! It's doing something!"
> Aria prepares another cocktail of sparingly stupid plan, but her weaponry is limiting her options.
"Shima! Can you do the launching spell again?!"
> She quickly gulps down the potion, regaining some of her mana.
| "HAH HH NNN- -FINE -THis -is- F- -NE!"
>Golden waves his wrist to try and send the message that he's fine
| >>186960
"Are you sure..?"
>She then looks at what the boss is doing
"Oh..i think i know what you were planning."
>She readies her spell
"Are you ready?"
>She counts before casting it on Aria
"Three, Two, One, GO!"
[Vortex Blast]
>Aria was send away to the boss by the spell
| >>186961
GOLDEN IST ES KLAR NICHT, SELBST WENN SIE UNBEHANDELT SIND, SIND SIE HIER NÜTZLICH NÜTZLICHER.
>nova says in german again.
| (That was actually a fun sudden twist I hadn't expected, haha — I had to rewrote my planned post because of it.)
"NO, NOT ON ME—"
> Aria wasn't quick enough to retaliate; she was already sent forward to the boss — but if she can angle this..
> She quickly equips her sword and points it straight forward, trying to slightly target the boss' eyes.
| >>186970
(18 on the 'hook the sword to one of the eye.)
> 'CLANK!'
> The sword pierced one of the eyes, and along with the sword was Aria. She is hanging loose, not wanting her sword to be lost again.
"This is bad—"
| >>186972
(3000/10000)
>it sews together 2 strange adds. One is made entirely out of hands.the other entirely out of scrap metal.
>(aberration spawn (2000 HP)
| >>186977
"Yeah, you guys are dealing with that."
> Aria sees the Aberration Spawns, not wanting to deal with them in her current state.
> She checks the view around her, trying to find a way to pull herself up to the boss' head/thorax.
"Maybe I can sling myself up?"
| >>186970
>Shima yells again at Nova
"LONDON MADAFAKE, DO YOU SPEAK IT!?"
>>186970
"Ow..damn, looks like i have to confirm first before acting from now on"
>She dashes to the boss in order to get her spear a.k.a staff back
(17 for dashing to the boss)
>She was able to avoid the boss potential attacks and went without any issue
"Guess throwing away your weapon was a bad idea.."
>She jumps and attempt to pull her spear
(1..what)
>She failed to grab her spear and fell down
| >>186980
NEIN. NEIN ICH WEISS NICHT ENGLISCH SIE UNKULTURIERTE SCHWEINE!
>nova yells in german, cleary sarcastic.
| >>186980
"G-Gah, i didn't expect myself to do a stupid mistake"
>She quickly gets up and attempts to do it again
"Hup!"
(19)
>She was able to pull out the spear quickly, and then she cast a buff on herself
[Battle Stance]
>Physical attack will also deal magic damage
>>186979
"Gotcha, i'll deal with it"
| (8 to the possible Momentum Burst damage. I consider that as no damage.)
"Okay, I can't do anything here—"
> She activates [Momentum Burst], letting her sword burst a strong light before it pushes Aria in a backwards motion, down towards the ground.
"I'll have to deal with the eyes here."
| >reina moves in to support shima.
>nova starts harassing the boss while shouting Germanic slurrs.
| >Trapped left to go get more swords, obviously
"something something... Reinforcements have arrived!"
[Improvised skill: Rain of swords!]
(All she does is just lob a ton of swords in the general direction of the spoder)
(15)
| >>186999
"HA! Trapped!"
> Aria had a better plan now: shooting swords with wind!
"Do you still have more of those swords?"
> Aria goes to approach Trapped after she has finished lobbing the swords away to the spider.
| "Huh? oh yeah, i filled my entire inventory with them"
>She opens her sack and dumps put copius daggers, swords, axes, other pointy objects
| >Shima charges toward the 2 enemies, and then tries to attack first
[Circle Strike]
>She spin herself with the spear and does a 3 hit spinning combo
(13)
>It successfully hits both enemies
| >>187007
"This is good enough— I have another stupid plan."
> Aria drank a lower-tiered mana potion, recharging her mana enough to do another [Sword of Air].
> She takes a dagger, and puts it near her — just right behind her arm's reach.
> Circles of air started forming, she activated [Sword of Air], but this time, the wind pushes in a direction forward towards the boss.
> As the air becomes stronger and turbulent, the dagger is picked up and it was lifted to the air—
| >>187016
(8, but I wasn't counting on this to actually hit anyway.)
> Slowly, and slowly— the wind builds up, it became a vortex in a sure time, and then—
"—GO!"
> 'BOOM!' an explosion was sounded. The air collapses in a tightly focused spot, making a makeshift cannon powerful enough to shoot the dagger away like a bullet.
> It wasn't able to hit the boss, however. It misses wildly, but it shows Aria's proof-of-concept.
| >Shima looks at the two enemies that were killed by trapped's sword
"Nice..that saves the trouble"
>She then looks at the boss
"Hmm..i wonder if there is a way to rescue Golden.."
"Guess there is nothing else than a brute force"
>Shima dashes toward the boss
| "Do you get what I'm going for, Trapped? I'll need you to put the weapons behind me — I'll focus on charging the blast and firing it all at once at the boss—"
> Aria smiles optimistically at her stupid plan.
"—This is barbaric, but it's the only way we can utilize an innumerable weaponry like this."
| >Golden thinks to himself, It's not a bad position to be in. There's an exciting view of his teammates attacking in his general direction. He's preventing the boss's main attack making him feel rather satisfied, even peaceful. He wonders just how helpful he's being and gauges it against how pathetic he might look. He then moves his thoughts on how he can convince his party members that he is a man.
| >Trapped smirks
"Well Reinventing the cannon seems fun enough, I'm in"
| >>187041
>nova quickly puts some grenades near aria.
Hope this works.
>he says before distracting the boss again.
| >>187041
> Aria replies with with a chuckle of her own, before collecting more air for her [Sword of Air] — which is more apt to be called [Cannon of Air] now.
"Let's go then! Let's strike the aberration down until nothing is left from it!"
> The wind in Aria's grasp is building stronger, but not yet strong enough to pull anything inwards.
"I'll let you be the guest on picking the ammo—"
| >>187026
>Near the boss, she jumps, attempting to get to the top of the boss.
>She stab her spear into the boss's flesh, And attempts to do another jump in order to get to the top by spinning in her stabbed spear
"Hup!"
(14)
>There is quite a problem, but she managed to climb it, and then land on the top with a decent balance
"Whoa, i think i almost made a mistake.."
| >>187045
"Thank you for the patronage!"
> Seeing the grenade, Aria loudly jokes to Nova.
"Okay, one grenade is good. We can do more!"
| >Trapped more or less indiscriminately tosses weapons behind Aria, though it appears to be a *lot* more spears then anything else eight now
| >Shima takes a glance toward the Aria's group
"Hmm..what are they doing there?"
>She then looks back to the boss
"">Shima takes a glance toward the Aria's group
"Hmm..what are they doing there?"
>She then looks back to the boss
"Looks like they're gonna do some shooting to my direction, i gotta do this quickly.."
| >>187060
"Ha! Golden will be proud with how much damage we may be able to dish out now!"
> She gave a figurative nudge to Golden, who has been stuck on the boss' mouth since forever.
"SHIMA! YOU MAY WANT TO START GOING DOWN!"
> Aria loudly shouted at Shima, still charging her [Sword of Air] to lift the load of the weapons thrown by Trapped.
> Added to that, she is gulping an enormous amount of low-tier mana potions, it barely fills her with mana.
| >>187062
(wadafak, double paste)
>She then jumps over the eye and cast the skill while mid air
[Patroshe Break]
>Does a 4 combo attack and the last attack throws her spear forward while knocking her back
(14 for the 4 combo)
"Hea!"
>She throws her spear
"Ha!"
(18)
>It hits right in the eye
(20 for landing)
>And then she lands perfectly on the ground
| >Shima shouts at the group
"OKAY, IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS NOW"
>She dashes towards the group
| "—Okay.."
> The [Sword of Air] starts forming vortices; separating Aria and the weapons. Some of the lighter spears have been lifted, and is randomly clashing into one another in the vortices.
> Aria takes a deep breath, strengthening the vortices, allowing it to lift heavier swords and axes.
> The howls of wind are starting to become irresistibly irritating now, but it shows that it can lift a large number of weapons dumped by Trapped.
| (Gotta sleep now, it'a already 11pm and i need to wake up early :x
>Shima)
| >>187087
(Good night!)
> As more and more of the weapon becomes airborne, the separation becomes a wall — behind Aria is a fog of weapons — an intimidating fog of weapons, in fact.
"More—"
> Aria had already gulped 20 of the low-tier mana potions, but her mana kept draining quickly.
> The sound of the wind blends with the sound of metals crashing into each other; the wall of weapons, dissonant of any beauty and elegance — a barbaric tactic to behold.
| >With a porcupined golden in tow
| >>187145
(I haven't shot anything though. I'm anticipating a bad roll, so I'll do a three-phase attack to make three rolls.)
| (Rolled a 13 on this.)
> The left-hand side of the wall collapses, forming a compressed tube — a horizontal hurricane, from the looks of it.
> Aria 'aims' at the boss, the [Cannon of Air] is more so than ready to be launched. The eye of the hurricane is filled with only one: numerous weapons loaded as bullets!
"It doesn't matter where it hits, as long as there's enough weapon—"
> The sound of the hurricane stops, before it was shortly replaced with a very deafening boom!
| > Countless of weapons: swords, daggers, knives, spears, halberds, axes — everything Trapped put behind the wall — was forcibly shot in a powerful impact. It wasn't a cannon — it was an army of cannons, firing an undeterminable rate of fire.
> The weapons spread, hitting everything and anything in general direction; piercing them, both shallow and deep.
> The boss was no exception either, it was struck by a good number of the weapons.
| >>187170
(ok now this >>187145 >>187150
Happens, minus the golden part.
Unless you want to be nabed by it.)
| >>187174
(And a 17.)
> As soon as possible, Aria had already collapsed the right-hand side of the wall; yet again, a vortex was made. Its color dark, blotting the fact that it heaves pointed weapons, capable of being arrows themselves.
"—As long as there's enough bullet, a damage will always be done!"
> 'BOOM!' — another shot was made, the volume of this dwarfs the previous [Cannon of Air] — Aria had given no chance for the boss to retreat at all.
| >>187179
(Since Golden is stuck between the teeth, wouldn't that protect him? But I think the weapons are in Trapped's possession, so I don't know what she actually has in store.)
| >>187195
(I assume that means it's deader than ded.)
> With the remaining weapons at hand, Aria decides to do a relatively stupid trick herself.
"Ha! It's clear that the best offense is to strike a billion bullets at the enemy until their will falter!"
> Aria points the last part of the wall — the center wall — to the sky, letting it fall, she then shoots it out in a fashion similar to fireworks!
> Apart from the loud boom, the weapons were thrown afar by the hurricane.
| > The weapons are then impaled to the ground, and to the walls, and to basically everywhere it can go that isn't near the party.
> The whole field becomes a desolate land of weapons planted to the ground. It may perhaps killed any NPC or enemy around the party as well, but Aria didn't mind that.
> —Of course, that is before she collapses into the ground due to the lack of stamina.
| >>187204
>nova just does his signature. 'i smack you in face with potions'
>aria and the rest of the party is somewhat better condition.
(is golden now captive of the spider?)
| >>187218
(Was a question I had in mind before making the Unlimited Blade Works reference as well.)
| >Sorry i'm late, they shouldn't pierce Adamantine but that can be left to you)
| >>187246
(So, Golden basically made the mouth of the spider impenetrable. This is not KonoSuba at all. -xnbc)
| >>187258
(Good thing you've watched some of it, at least.)
"So, what else is there?"
> Aria stands up from her tumbled position, stretching her hands up afterwards.
"My whole body feels amazingly broken thanks to the rollercoaster ride."
| >>187264
Hey that was your own doing Fraulein.
>nova exclaimed while reina is healing everyone.
Where is golden?
| >>187264
Hey that was your own doing Fraulein.
>nova exclaimed while reina is healing everyone.
Where is golden?
| >>187273
"Hey, it pinned the boss — at least it was enough for Shima to mishmash a plan of her own, and for me to be transported to Perihelion — those hands were not the best kind of hand, okay?"
> Aria commented further, before noticing that Golden is also missing.
"Wasn't he—.. Oh wait. Where's he? I thought he was nearby when I launched the attack."
| >>187280
(Nope, but I wrote that as a joking reference, since Perihelion will, from what I see, be a lewd-fest game.)
| >>187293
"Agh—.. I can't believe I would use an idea that barbaric to defeat the boss."
> Aria slumps tiredly, her status has gone up to normal, but her player might be at an off situation.
"—Admittedly, if I can keep using that for all the battles, I would; although, I do have concerns for how I would even be able to stack my inventory with weapons."
> She looks at Trapped, as the loli herself was the one who provided the weapons used as bullet.
| >>187296
You kidding? That was bleeding awesome!
eher kreativ von dir auch.
>nova says.
(also before you say it yes English was my first language)
>>187297
(thats fair, but the GM was trying to keep it pure)
| >>187300
"Vielen dank, freund."
> Aria replies in a half-broken German.
"Thank you is literally the only expression I know of in German — but really, thanks."
(Ah, I didn't know the Perihelion GM was doing that. Let's hope it won't turn out as lewd as I think it would.)
| >>187311
hmm dein deutsch braucht arbeiten, aber es war eigentlich verständlich so ziemlich gut ish.
Anywas ya seen any drops around?
| >>187321
> Understanding only a few words from the German-speak of Nova, Aria simply nods at it.
"Drops? I'm not sure. I didn't pay close attention to my inventory."
| >>187327
Hmm ok lets look around.
(imma leave it here while i flesh out the of the raid .sorry i want the story to have quality is all sorry.
Lets continue tomorrow.)
| (i await)
| >loud metallic clanging is heard as something shifts from under a pile of blades
| >>187873
"Not again—"
> Aria readies her sword; the land might be filled with weapons spread over it now, but her sword is the only reliable weapon she have in her hand now.
"—Don't tell me there's more."
| >Golden bursts out from below as the pile of swords are pushed aside
"Ah~ It's finally over"
>Golden humms sounding quite satisfied
| >>187928
"..."
> Aria was unable to react as to what she is seeing; her only response was a sigh of relief.
"—At least you're still alive, Golden."
| >Golden raises his head up high with his closed fists at his waist. His too often used pose with his too often used hearty laugh
"HAH HAH HAH"
"That took quite some time. I do hope that despite my non-movement I was useful throughout oho~"
| >>187935
"Ah, indeed. Everyone has taken a great part in the battle, even if it takes us more time than usual — we still come victorious over the beast!"
> Aria remarked as she gave a little snile of her own.
"—I think there is more at hand, however. If that is the case, then I can firmly say I have ran out of resources to optimistically defeat them."
| >Trapped kicks a bunch of swords aside
"Not here... not here... Where the fuck is MY sword!?"
| >>188010
"Uh.. I'm—I'm sorry."
> It dawned on Aria: she had amassed and threw everything dumped by Trapped.
"M-maybe we can search for it together?"
> But with how wide and how spreaded Aria fired that last wall, only doubt is painted in her face.
> This isn't counting the piles in front of her; the one she fired directly to the boss.
| >Shima was also searching for her spear in the mountain of weapons
"Hmm..where could it be..."
"Ah, there it is!"
>She found her spear a.k.a staff
"Luckily i have attached a bell accessory to my weapon.."
>Then she pull out her spear from the boss eye, just to see some weird slimy thing on the edge of the weapon
"Yucks..gotta wash it quickly"
>She then cast a water spell on her weapon
| >Trapped sighs
"I could *try* growth magic but..."
>She channels her energy, and suddenly a blade extends right by her head. She grabs it and flips it into it's sheath, where it belongs
"Talk about unlucky..."
| Umm ima just wait till you guys are done.
>nova says
| "So, you both are okay with everything as well? No harm's done?
> Aria oversees her two teammates, and their commotion, making sure they both are in no way harmed by the attack, in any shape or form.
"—I just had to make sure; that attack I did was mindless."
