The walk to the ruins is fairly easy with only a few monsters here and there. I say, "Man, you'd think that he would give us more of a challenge than this."
Sarah looks at me, "Make no mistake, the longer we progress, the harder the monsters will become." I nod as we come up to the entrance of the ruins.
As we walk into the door to the ruins, a large hooded monster with no face and a scythe for a weapon appears and takes a fighting stance. I take out my sword and it turns blue to indicate the activation of a sword skill. I swing my sword at the beast and a beam of blue energy is shot from the blade. the beam of energy hits the beast and takes down it's health some. "Go up and attack it, I'll keep stunning it from back here."
Cris takes out the daggers and she runs at it and begins attacking, Sarah takes out her weapon and starts attacking it. I keep charging up my attack and using it to stun the beast. This keeps up for a while until we get the monster's health down to yellow. The monster disappears and reappears behind me. I have no time to react before he slashes my back bringing my heath down a little bit. I get up and I move away with my shield up.
I say, "Ok, new plan."
Cris says, "What do you mean? What we were doing was working."
I say, "That skill that I was using only works when I am at full health."
Cris says, "Ok, follow my lead. I'll hit its weapon out of the way and you attack it."
I nod and we go to attack it She uses her daggers to knock the weapon out of the way and I use my 3-hit combo skill to attack it directly. We do this a few times until the monster's health drops into the red I say, "Alright, it's almost done. We just need to get in a few more good hits." We start to attack together before the monster starts just attacking indiscriminately everywhere destroying some of the terrain. falling debris almost hits me, "Shit! Be careful. Cris, one more time." She nods and we go to attack it one last time. She knocks its weapon out of the way and I use my 3-Hit combo skill. I finally run my sword through its chest. It bursts into a cloud of dust. I sheath my sword as a door pops up from the ground in the middle of the ruins.
I say, "This must be the door to the dungeon. here we go." Cris and Sarah nod and we go into the door. It closes behind us.
