Alfheim 2
Chapter 14: New Enemy; The Skeletos
Ever since going through dungeon 4, Mirror Castle, which was riddled with tons of upside down puzzles that nearly stomped our heroes in the thinking department. They traversed it while grinding their levels to a good mid 30s before defeating the boss, Twinelements.
In between dungeon 4 and 5 they were being chased by a rare dinosaur creature called the Diresaur, which they turned around and faught. They nearly lost that battle but came through with a clear win. As they traversed through the 5th dungeon they saw the chance to try and get the second best weapon in the game, Excalibur II.
They weren't successful in it but still went through the dungeon and battled the boss, King Raslor the Brave. After doing so they left the dungeon and was greeted by a storyline character that stated to the pact, "Congratulations! You have successfully made it halfway through the storyline stream of Alfheim 2. From here on the game only gets harder and much more challenging so good luck!"
They were now on their way to their to the Great Graveyard for their sixth dungeon, the Undead Grave, with which Hirada and Yusuke had already went through in the Beta version. We now rejoin our heroes there on the path to the next dungeon.
Hirada was walking alongside Leafa when she looked over to Hirada and said, "So, Hirada? What do you do in the outside world?"
Hirada answered, "Um, ok... I go to school. I also play a lot of games, console and online. Here lately, I have been just playing on here mostly though."
Leafa asked shyly, "So how about a girlfriend, or someone close, let me put it that way."
Hirada blushed and said, "I have been seeing this one girl lately but you know. Right now we're just good friends is all. Why do you ask?"
Leafa knew exactly why she asked but told him instead, "I was just wondering because you seem a little bit happier than the first day I met you. You have more... pep in your step is what I am getting at."
Hirada looked down and thought for a second, "Yeah, I guess I have been a little happier since then huh? I haven't thought about it yet."
Leafa then smiled but really in her mind she was crying thinking to herself, 'Oh man! He already has someone. Dang! I guess I should think about something else then.'
On their way to the next dungeon Yusuke noticed the ground had changed color a little bit since a mile ago. He stopped and looked towards the ground and said to Hirada and Leafa, "Hey guys? Does the ground look a little different to you or is it just me?"
Hirada knelt down next to Yusuke and said, "Now that you mention it yeah, a little bit like it's not taken care of as much as before. Nearly lifeless right?"
Yusuke then looked ahead and noticed a mound of dirt forming where something was trying to come from beneath the surface. A large bony hand then emerged from the dirt, following the hand was an entire skeletal creature with a sword and a very mean face.
Yusuke then recognized this creature and said, "Guys its a Skeletos! These things are very dangerous if you get too close to them."
Hirada drew his sword and said, "I don't give a damn! I remember these things! I know exactly how to kill them." He then dashed into battle with the new enemy and slain it with ease. As that one disappeared three more popped up and they all three then began battling with them.
Hirada fought and defeated his, Leafa did as well, but for some reason Yusuke couldn't even damage his. Yusuke's was also a different color than the others come to think of it. Hirada looked through his enemy list in
walkthrough and found it, it was the Legendary Skeletos.
Hirada said to Yusuke, "Here, let me take over, you read this. It'll explain everything!" Hirada then switched places with Yusuke and began fighting the rare creature.
Yusuke read, "Ok, the Legendary Skeletos. It's stats are really high! No wonder I couldn't damage it! Um... ok it is a different color shade than the other Skeletos and it has a very rare drop if you kill it. Then only way to do any real damage is to use healing magics on it? What? You can also use the Purifier on it since it is the elemental weakness is Holy."
Leafa then said, "So, in other words I can do a lot of damage right?"
Yusuke told her, "Well, maybe. Depends on how high your strength is."
All the while Hirada was listening to Yusuke's explaination and fighting the Legendary Skeletos. Hirada then asked Leafa, "Hey! You wanna try to kill it Leafa? I did some damage to it, but I can't do much more I don't think."
The creature then slashed Hirada knocking his health down to the yellow and knocking him back a little bit.
Leafa, now angered, then dashed towards the monster and slashed it's chest knocking it's health down into the middle of the yellow as she slashed again blasting it away gaining the experience and loot. Although, it didn't drop the rare drop like it was said to have.
As the Legendary one fell, a ton of others came up afterwards and began limping towards our heroes. Hirada then stated, "Alright guys! We have to charge through them!"
They all then got ready and charged through all the enemies slaying just about every one of them in their path. They made it to the Undead Grave finally, as they all touched the healing crystal and prepared to go into the dungeon.
About to head into the dungeon Yusuke then remembered something, "Oh crap guys! I uh, I gotta go! I was supposed to help my mom with something today and I nearly forgot! Did you want to call it a dayand log out or just let me log out?"
Leafa thought for a second and pulled out a small green crystal and said, "Wait, I've got plenty of these teleport stones, you go ahead and log out Yusuke ok? Hirada and I can think of something until you return."
Yusuke then said,"Alright, I'll be back in two hours right at this spot ok? Meet back here when I get back on."
Hirada and Leafa both said, "Alright. You got it. Two hours."
Yusuke then logged out as Hirada said to Leafa, "So, what do you have planned for these two hours?"
Leafa looked at Hirada and said, "Take my hand and I'll show you."
Once Hirada grabbed Leafa's hand, she used the teleport stone and was telelported somewhere where Hirada had no idea. He just went with it as Leafa led him somewhere.
I know I said I'd do this Thursday, but time got away from me. I will do another Chapter maybe Sunday or tomorrow but I don't know exactly, depends on whether or not I actually get to it. Give me some feedback on how I am doing so far on it please :D. The only thing I am a little sketchy on is how fast I sort of ran through this chapter kinda fast with the whole fighting scene, its only because I not really in the writing spirit to do a whole fighting scene right now. I promise to make the rest a lot more enjoyable though :) Find out where Leafa took Hirada in Chapter 15: Quest for the Sun Sword! Stay awesome readers, until the next one :) .
