The World

*Euryale also joins in on the swarming of the Mu Guardian. Zalera runs past it, hacking at the Menhir frozen in Sab's spell. With all of the group's attacks, the Mu Guardian goes down about a 3rd in health. Thiera raises her staff, causing a seahorse-dragon with "wings" made of ice spikes to appear over her. It shoots ice needles at the Mu Guardian, bringing down another significant chunk of its health. However, the Mu Guardian retaliates, slashing Mortal & taking down 1/4 of her HP. To make matters worse, the other raises its sword-arms, a blue sparkle forming at where their points meet. Rock spikes burst out of the ground, just narrowly missing Mortal & taking away about 1/4 of Noct's health. Presumably, Hector arrives to see this fight.*

Noct finishes off the first Mu Guardian with a quadruple slash.

Mortal rushes to the Menhir, and slashes down on it.

Sab uses a Juk Kruz on the Menhir.

Hector charged the other Mu Guardian and stabbed it.

*The Mu Guardian swipes at Hector. The other one tries to float away, put some distance between itself & the fucking mob slaughtering it.*

Zalera: Jeeze, that thing still isn't dead?

Thiera: That might be a good thing. If it died, the Menhir could just revive it back at full health.

*Thiera casts Repth on Euryale, Mortal, & Noctis.*

Euryale: Mu Guardians are weak to Leaf attacks. Menhir to Darkness.

"Thanks for the heads up," Noct said, dashing to the Mehnir, and slashing at it four times before slashing down one last time with a darkness powered blade.

Sab uses a Juk Rom on the Guardian that did not run away, and Mortal attacks the Mehnir again.

*Monudon repeatedly stabs at the Guardian*

Euryale: No problem.

*The Menhir finally falls, turning gray & vanishing. It leaves behind a Treasure Chest. Hanging well out of reach, the Mu Guardian who is not being attacked raises its blades, causing a tornado of rocks to appear around Sab & Thiera, beating large amounts of HP out of them. Thiera quickly casts Repth to restore them both to about half HP. Euryale realizes they're sitting ducks, & comes back to guard them. The Guardian who is being attacked is brought down to about half HP, mostly because of a few elemental criticals. It lashes out with a slash to Monudon. Zalera runs to the other Mu Guardian, but it's already resumed floating away to the south.*

Zalera: Shit, Magic Portal.

*Zalera stops running before it can open. He waves his blades like hands on a clock.*

Zalera: Rai Rom!

*A tornado of lightning strikes the fleeing Mu Guardian repeatedly, just barely whittling down its remaining HP. It, too, becomes monochrome, falls to the ground, & vanishes.*

Noct opens the chest and takes the time to shoot Luna a PM.

Hey:

Mortal slashes at the remaining Mu Guardian, and Sab uses a Repth on herself and Thiera to recoup the remainder of their health.

*Monudon jumps out of range, then uses Vak Rom on the Guardian*

Hector attempted the dodge the swipe, and then return a slash.

~Noctis obtains a Resurrect!~

*Hector narrowly avoided the attack. Even with everyone attacking it, without Sab's spells, it's difficult to bring it down. It retaliates by spinning its arms in a circle around itself, slicing at them all. Thiera casts Repth on them, taking out all of her SP.*

Thiera: This is a really hard area.

*Meanwhile, Euryale is behind them, on the lookout for Wandering Monsters.*

*Monudon repeatedly stands again*

<Yeah, but think of all the exp!>

*It's at this point that the Mu Guardian finally dies. As a result of the battle, only Euryale is at full health, with everyone else being somewhere between 60 & 80%. Additionally, Sab, Monudon, & Thiera are almost out of SP, while Noctis has around 80% left.*

<Woo, everyone was amazing!>

*Monudon smiles at everyone*

<Shall we find something else to kill?>

"We should wait for our SP to recharge a bit," Sab said.

Noct gave a lil fist pump at the chest, and returned to the group.

<Yeah, I, for one, am all out of SP.>

*Less than a minute later, everyone's SP is between 80 & 100%.*

PM to Noctis: Oh.:

"Everyone good?" Noct asked.

"Yea, but this place is supposedly dangerous," Mortal said.

"Yeah, I noticed the board as well," Noct said, "Any reason why?"

Mortal shrugged, "Asked now."

<I wonder if people seriously go into comas here.>

*Monudon stares up into the sky*

"Luna is on her way over, by the way," Noct said. "I'm going to drop from the party, and team up with her."

Mortal said, "Okay. Oh, they're saying it is probably hackers, and linked it to Pluto's Kiss."

Euryale: Probably some ridiculous rumor.

Thiera: Maybe not. Maybe it's connected to everything else that's been happening lately?

*Around this time, a pair of characters warp onto the field. Luna's spear clutched in her right hand. With her left, she holds Aroma's hand. Aroma watches a firefly, as Luna scans the horizon for a sign of Noctis.*

*Monudon waves in greeting*

<It's nice to see you two again!>

Noct begins to head over, and invites Luna to her party after getting out of the party with Mortal and Sab. When she is close she says, "Hello Luna, and Aroma."

Hector glanced over at Luna, smiled, and looked away again.

*Aroma blushes slightly. Euryale & co. approach, waving, so as not to clutter the screen with greetings.*

Aroma: Hi.

Luna: Greetings. This area is very high in level, I'm uncertain what assistance I can be.
