(VR MMORPG)the Story of Creation:ruins of symphony raid part 9
| >the way the old automatons danced ,the way they Twisted and turned along to the beautiful music was captivating.
>the music sounded like an entire orchestra was playing a music box tune,its melody was rushing it was captivating,it was beautiful one could not help but dancne to the tune.
>it was almost enough to cause on to just for a little, forget their past and dance along without any worry or care.
| Ohhh this reminds me of that song they would sing about us!
Uuhhh How did it go again....?
>ellie says still dancing with shima
| > Aria still stands bewildered, comprehending the machines, and their dance was perhaps a bit much — especially since what she expected was a battle.
"I—.. I don't know what to say."
> She doesn't look to be against dancing itself, but more about the living automaton, and their very purpose to greet the 'guests'.
| >>198636
> Aria only stares with dread in her face, but then nudges Trapped.
"H-hey, how about finishing the tea party while we are it?"
> She then turns to Ellie, giving an unsure nod — probably waiting for Trapped's confirmation.
| (i await)
| >Shima stopped dancing
"Ahh..that was nice, but it's quite tiring.."
"And besides..this is not like what we've expected, i was expecting a last boss fight..but some orchestra started playing instead. Could this be the last stage?"
| >>199589
>suddenly a figure appears on the ballroom stage ballroom stage?is that a thing?
> https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/a0KQmGn_460swp.webp
Oh...i have guest...
| >Beryl dances in the corner subtley. Lifting her skirt slightly and only going so far as to tap foot from side to side or sway lightly, she takes care not to be noticed
| >>199610
Ohh what a lovely sight......
Please enjoy the ball....
All my subjects couldn't Attend after what happened....
>the strange figure continues
| >>199612
"...Did u say subjects?"
>Shima raises her stance and became more cautious, in case of any surprise attacks
>She still haven't equip her weapon
| >>199632
Ahh yes.....my beloved subjects....
All wiped away by that dreaded calamity......im sorry i seem to have forgotten about it....if only i had something to jog my memories....
| > Aria puts suspicion into the scheme. The mysterious blue-haired lady was no less cryptic, and Aria couldn't help but feel a screaming instinct in her stomach.
"Say, who are you?"
| hey
| logest
| hy how make very good
| >Trappes raises her staff
"Look, i'm not in the mood for cryptic shit, can't we just blow this place up already?"
| >>199793
> Aria extends her one hand, signaling the party to back off from just exploding the whole place apart.
>>199805
"Listen—I'm sure both of our time matters here. As much as I love riddles, and flaunting eloquent language in real life, I'm sure my teammates are lacking any time to ever phrase your words—"
> Her tone is stronger, sturdier than ever; showing off her basic skill at persuasion.
"—I digress. Who are you? What are your purposes?"
| >>199838
Ahh..forgive me...being as old as i am...
As i said i was the one this ball was dedicated to...queen vasilia of symphony......
But that is all in the past now...
I have a request for you all if you dont mind....
| >>199842
> Aria nods, hopefully representing her teammates' opinion.
"I will lend you an ear; voice me your request — us, adventurers, are known to subdue even luck itself; let us know what you have in mind, and let us judge if such is feasible within our abilities."
> Aria is either playing character, or she is also speaking in a weird pattern.
| >>199842
"What is your request?"
"I hope you're not gonna tell us to solve ridles.."
>Shima said that while she is still in defensive stance
(sorry, i gotta go sleep now. good night to you guys)
| >>199871
Ahh very good....if you dont accept nothing will be held against you.....
I wish for you to kill me....
Best me in combat to be specific......
| >>199877
(Last one before i go to sleep, kek.)
"..?"
>Shima quickly approaches Aria and whispers something to her
"Wait..it might be a trap, don't just accept it blindly."
| >>199877
> At this point, Aria's player personality has bled through uncontrollably to her character.
"You jest, O' Queen!"
> She laughs, not to mock, but due to the fact that she was not expecting an invitation to duel.
"How fair is a fight of one against many? Lest what happens is a barbaric brawl — those only ruffians would do. Yet, I don't see you lowly, Queen. Thus, tell me—"
> She pauses, taking a few breath.
"—Do you accept being put to the spear's tip of disadvantage?"
| >>199882
(Good night, but sorry for not refreshing.)
> Aria heard Shima, but her thought has ran off the skirts of "Aria" — her player is only interested in the concept of a noble, and only noble, duel.
> She dismisses Shima without any gesture nor sign, but simply by staying silent to her comments.
| >>199885
"Such is a resound statement, O' Queen. If what you seek is the quill to write the end of your story—"
> Aria prepares a stance, a smile is in her face; it's a smile of a noble knight challenged to a duel.
"—Our swords drawn close, forming the tip to mark this chapter. Walk closer, see forward—"
> Her sword pointed to the Queen, a pose to challenge the host of the party!
"—En garde!"
| (This is a nice place to pause, so I'll be here tomorrow.)
| (doggo of waiting appears)
| (Shima on standby)
| >a server message appears.
Final raid boss initiated.
>the automatons move away from the center of the room.
>the queen floats into the middle of the room.
>her name changes [banshee queen vasilia the last symphony]
>the speakers change tune from en orchestra to a choir.
I wish you luck fair adventurers.
>several runes appear on the floor (attack)
| (Orbital Missile ready -Golden)
| >>200509
"SPREAD ASUNDER, EVERYONE!"
> Aria orders every single one of her party member to split up, spreading into the room more.
"LET'S GATHER OUR PROMISED VICTORY!"
> She attempts a boost to the party's morale: this is the the last stage of the raid after all — she needs everyone's morale sky high.
| >Shima groans
"Oh great...i already saw this coming.."
>>200518
"Aight..but why spread tho? Oh well, whatever."
>Shima separates herself from the party
>She equips her newly acquaired spear
(I forgot the name)
>She cast some buffs
[Battle stance]
>Normal atk also deal magic dmg
[Battle Aura]
> +15% physical dmg, +25% magic dmg
[Enhanced Evasive Aura]
>Add 30% rate to succesfully dodge attacks (+4 dice) (Self buff)
| >>200523
"Trust me on this, Shima!"
> Aria rapidly gestures for the party to not ever regroup in the center.
"I have my plans!"
> She activates [Clairvoyance], but she doesn't track the boss — she scans the room instead.
(Rolled 10 for room investigation through Clairvoyance; I'm looking for the details of the room — and any potential weakness in the structure.)
| >>200536
the room is nigh impervious save the roof wich looks like it can collapse if hit with something heavy and metal
>ellie cast some def buffs on the party.
| >>200536
"O-Okay, I'm also still holding on to my absurd idea tho.."
>Shima charges toward the runes
(8)
>She almost tripped while going toward the runes, but she still able to get close to them
"Man..i almost made a stupid mistake"
>She cast her skill near the runes
[Circle Strike]
>She does a 3 combo spinning attack
(18)
| >>200557
>the rune explodes into a loud force pulse.
>shimas attack is interrupted but takes no damage.
i changed the 18 attack role to a save role
| >>200562
"A-Agh, what was that?! Are they a living bomb or something?!"
>Shima is temporarily stunned
| >the boss lets lose a volly of icicles at the party.
| >>200579
(15 for countering them. I fell asleep, sorry.)
"ALACK, QUEEN!"
> Aria dashes towards the icicles, her sword tackling, and hopefully, deflecting every single one of them with her speed — along the line, she activates [Sword of Air] to assist her.
| >Trapped meanwhile, was way far back, preparing [meteor]. Suddenly, golden would find a giant space rock rapidly approuching him and threatening to push him back down to the planet!
| >(That is crazy I love it)
>Golden doesn't notice the meteor, Blinded by his own light
| YES this is GENIUS!
>the boss cast more runes
| (13 for the attack.)
> Aria darts rapidly, trying to get the boss' attention, as well as dodging the attacks coming towards her.
"SHIMA, ELLIE, I'LL LET YOU BOTH HANDLE THE RUNES!"
> She holds her position, as her sword glows, [Momentum Burst] was called — Aria threw herself forward, to the boss, at a great speed — her sword pointed to attack, making her an arrow of her own.
| >The meteor knocks into golden, and pushes him towards the raid area, as the meteor burns up in reentry, golden starta glowinh *even more*
| >Golden is taken unaware. Oh he feels it. Fire, light, complete blindness and pain. All through having no idea what was going on. He suddenly remembers the teammates he left behind. 'Is this divine punishment?'
| >ellie cast [blaze] at the runes.
(10)
>it prematurely detonates some of them
| >>200867
> Aria takes a step back, noticing Trapped's spell — and remembering what was up there.
> She smirks, as she does the same attack as before: [Momentum Burst], then charge.
> It seems that it was in her plan to lock the boss in one place.
| >>200876
remember she is floating
>the boss cast a lot of icicles and i mean a LOT and they are all quite large.(wind up)
>ellie cast [blaze wall] to help dampen its effects a bit
| >>200879
(I do remember, actually. She isn't flying though, so Aria can still corner her. Technically.)
"Curses—"
> Aria sees the incoming hail of icicles. It might be hopeless to tackle each one of the icicles now.
> Air began swirling over Aria as she hopelessly tries to defend her position close to the Queen. She activates a weak [Sword of Air], just to deflect the trajectories of the icicles — at least enough for her to counter some with her sword.
"I have a problem here!"
| >Shima backed off a bit to get some distance between the enemies
>She equips her staff and then transform it to bow
"I guess a close combat isn't a good idea.."
>She cast a skill
[Charged Detonating Arrow]
>She charges the arrow
(15 for charging power and explosion)
>She aims it toward the runes and then shoots
(14 for accuracy)
>The arrow hit a rune that is almost in the middle of the crowd
>The arrow explode and creates a big explosion
| >Trapped yells
"CAN SOMEONE GET THE ROOF?! METEOR IMPACT IMMINENT."
>She types vigorously in player chat, canceling the guiding chant and preparing to face icicles.
/GOLDEN, HANDING CONTROL OF METEOR TO YOU./
/TEACH OUR FOE THE WRATH OF YOU, OUR DIVINE LIGHT/
| Uh oh everyone run away.
>ellie yells.
>she cast [dual blaze] at the roof.
>2 pillars of fire emerge from the ground and damage the roof enough for golden.
>the boss shields herself
| > Aria's wind was directed in general direction, but hearing Trapped, she came across yet another idea in her mind.
"DO WE NEED NEED THE ROOF DESTROYED?!"
> Aria started seeing where to strike the roof, should the party need some renovations done in the room.
| (omg cinematic nat 20 for luck roll on hit)
>Golden zooms into the atmosphere at around 100,000 mph. moving too fast to see anything, know anything or feel anything
| >>200895
"OKAY, NEVERMIND, THAT WASN'T IN MY PLAN!"
> Aria still focuses on strengthening her [Swoed of Air], creating a weak shield against the icicles — slowing them down a notch.
| >Trapped casts [solar flare] up through the hold in the roof, causing a massive, blinding beacon of light
/GOLDEN, HEAD TOWARDS THE LIGHT/
| the boss dies i will let you play this part out
| >Shima yells
"UHH, GUYS? I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE SOME COVER, I THINK IT MIGHT GONNA BLOW ALL OF US"
>Shima cast a selfbuff
[Enhanced light barrier]
>Cast a 3000hp barrier with 20% damage reduction
| >It smashes through the roof, pretty much wrecking a big part if not the entirety of the mansion. The adamantite tip that is golden pierces straight through the boss and more than a few meters into the ground. making a sizeable crater.
>things that arent smashed are on fire. Golden lays at the center of the crater, deeply embedded into the foundation
| >Trapped is blown away by the force of the impact and is quickly buried under collapsing ceiling
| > The explosion was enough to throw Aria away, flinging her elsewhere and depleting her HP down to 0 in an instant.
/Congratulations, everyone./
> A message shows up in the player chat.
| >The sheer force of the impact would have been enough to blow most things away
| /Yooo that went better then expected, shiman golden you still there? bring some loot back/
| >Golden lies face-down into the crater. unmoving
| >Shima also got blown away, though she managed to survive because of the buff, leaving her hp at 21
"Dang..i didn't expect myself to be able to survive that.."
"And also, that absurd idea went right and super effective..i'm glad that i come up with that idea, kek."
>Shima laughs a little
| DM is back in control
>>200920
>ellie pokes golden with her staff
Ummm are you dead?
i will get to the aftermath in a bit
| >A tall, athletic looking girl with messy long locks of golden hair spawns nearby. She wears no equipment, only the basic underwear
| "Huh? what? is that the charred smell of victory?"
| > Aria walks close towards the party, she was respawned somewhere close, but before that, she sees the newly-arrived lady.
"Uhm.."
> She had a few guesses in mind.
"—Is that you—"
> But it was definitely him.
"—Is that you, Golden?"
| "HAH HAH of course it is me I-"
>She notices the charred heap of broken metal lying at the center of the creater then looks to herself
"I-..."
". . .aaa..!?@43_"
>Turning completely red, she falls to her knees covering her face with her hands
| >(a kyaaa would induce self damage from cringe)
| "Yep, that's golden alright, sorry about the armor, but i thought it'd be able to handle the impact bettet
>Trapped casually says
"Nice tits btw"
| >>200932
Nova:that golden!??!
Ellie:goldens a girl?!!?
>a few moments pass and ellie faints
>nova just freaks out
| >>200929
> Aria approaches Golden, and she used the only chance she has to do what she had in mind.
"Golden—"
> Aria lifts her arm, and it landed on Golden's head.
> Aria is patting Golden.
"This is what you get for teasing me."
> She pats the 'tank' again.
>>200934
"Oh hey Nova. Fancy seeing you here."
> She notices Nova; Aria is still patting Golden.
| >After shima heard what Golden said, she takes a glance at the crater and then look back at the girl, who is literally Golden
"...I knew it.."
"..I TOTALLY KNEW IT! HE WAS A SHE ALL ALONG!"
>Shima suddenly shouts
| welp guess we are freaking out again, and since the raid is over i guess its fine! Kinda like a respite if sorts
>nova curls into a ball *again*
| >Golden couldn't get any redder in embarrassment from all the attention. Under the hands that cover her face it almost seems as if she's already started crying. she mumbles mostly incoherent things about pride and dignity through the sounds of sobbing.
| "Somwtimws i wonder if we're all traps.... I'd ask if you wanna do it, but nova would just kill me again, besides, Aria is miine"
>Trapped joins in on the head pats
| >>200940
>nova calms down a bit.
>he approachs golden
Hey now cmon dont be sad,
Because sad backwards is das and
Das not güt
i have been waiting SO long to use that joke
| >Golden springs to her feet with a sudden forceful impulse. Flashing in a [Blinding light] more than a few times.
| >>200944
> Aria backs off for a bit, but the Blinding Light simply has little effect without Golden's golden armor.
"It's okay, Golden. It's okay."
> Aria made an unnoticeable smile, feeling the respite after a long haul of battles.
"Accept this as part of your pride, and dignity."
> She extends her hand to Golden.
| >By the time the flash ends, the form that was the Girl is replaced by that of a silver tower. A new set of armor, albeit nowhere near as decorative or flashy as before.
"HAH HAH HAH what you saw was nothing. Nothing!~"
>Golden turns to trapped and pulls her closer putting a hand around her hips.
"And what if I make *you* mine?"
"HAH HAH HAH"
>Golden returns to his usual proud pose
| >>200946
>Golden takes Aria's hand. Pulling her close.
"And what is it you wish to give for my pride and dignity?"
| >>200952
"Sorry, but you'd have to strip for that to happen"
>Trapped chuckles
"So... about that tentacle zombie invasion...
| >it may or may not be clear. But Golden may be overdoing as a means to compensate
| >>200957
Oh that uhh its still a thing...
HOLD THE PHONE!
I LEAVE YOU GUY FOR 25 MINUTES AND IN THAT TIME YOU BLOW UP A SPACE SHIP!?! ME AND LIKE 100 OTHER PLAYER ARE *STILL* TRYING TO REPELL THE ZOMBIES!
| >>200955
"What do a princess usually give to her knight at the completion of their task?"
> The smile in Aria's face becomes more apparent, she goes closer to Golden's helmet — and a kiss was made — the cold metal contacts Aria's soft lips; it wasn't a kiss in the strict sense, but Aria did kiss what-would-be cheeks of Golden, if it wasn't covered in helmet.
"—Sadly not gold or riches, but you have teased me for long; I can't accept a kiss left in the air."
| >>200961
"I think they might be ded by now.."
"And uh...why it must be...tentacles? dangit"
>Shima groans
| >>200961
"Look, Golden wanted to become a sun so i helped him, besides, it's not like they're lewd tentacle zombies..."
| >>200970
"And uh—.. sorry, Trapped. I just had to do it to Golden."
> Aria chuckles, facing Trapped this time. A hint of blush apparent in her face, it was rosy pink in color, and it was bright in contrast to her milky white skin.
"—Let's finish our tea party elsewhere, hm?"
> She gave Trapped a sweet kiss in the cheeks as well, indirectly congratulating the now-female-trap.
| "well~ let us make our merry way to claim our reward. Lest this tension burn us all up from the inside!"
| >a server message appears
congratulations to players

>The boss drops
>a metric fookton of zel
>the codex orcharia (red)
| >>200977
> Aria only gave a smile towards the blushing Trapped.
"Was that not enough as a payment for casting the spell?"
> She let out a soft laugh before joining the topics discussed by the party.
"So—.. tentacle zombies?"
| >a private message is seen by the party
Raid boss changed from
'banshee queen vasilia'
To
'industrial aberration'
| >>200982
"Uh-oh."
> Aria notices the message, surprised by the contents written on it.
"I guess we did come up first, huh."
| (I'm done for today, sleep times -Golden)
| (Going to AFK real soon, but I'll stick by for some more messages. -xnbc)
| >>200984
"Wow, i didn't expect this raid has a one time boss spawn"
>Shima is amazed
(Gotta go sleep now, good night)
| (good night.
Also this is done if you still wanna play there will be a new thread for a diff thing)
| >>200988
> Aria shrugs, closing the messages before opening her stats menu.
"We struck down a boss by striking it with a falling star. That much is enough fame for us."
> She assigns a lot of points to everything related to magic, and speed after her level went up.
>>200989
"We did gave the Queen an explosive end for her fate. How surprising was that?"
> Aria laughed to her heart's content; she broke out a long sigh afterwards, feeling the hours spent in the game.
| >>200983
"...You still owe me sex. Later."
>She hastily struts away and starts picking up the zel
"Huh... wonder if this [industrial abberatio] might be an issue to latet partied... eh whatever."
| >>200989
(Also, good night!)
>>200990
(Nine episodes! That's a full length anime right there. I guess we'll have some sidestories after this?)
| >>200996
(some side stories if requested
But also a direct follow up to what happend here)
>>200994
(also yes dear trapped you can yiff as much you want in the follow up)
| >>200994
"My, my. Such a zesty fellow you are."
> Trapped's words had made Aria chuckle again. Although she doesn't have any other opinion for in-game sex.
| >>201006
"I can't dispute that—"
> Aria smiles at the statement, to her, Trapped somehow radiates with cuteness right now.
"—I assume you still want to settle our tea party?"
| >Trapped turns around and fidgits
"...yeah."
| Hmm lets celebrate at a inn in primaria!
Hey if you are gonna screw do it at the inn,ill even pay for the room.
>nova remarks
| >>201013
> Aria goes closer to Trapped, giving her a whisper. In this distance, her warm breath can be felt, and it goes as she speaks.
'This is my first time—'
> She steps back, winking at Trapped before turning to Nova.
>>201015
"Sounds great! Let's head back and celebrate!"
| >he picks up ellie and the party sets off.
>guess we fade to black from here.
