Chapter 3 Salamander Attack in front of Lugru
Goddammit looks like I finally experience what the writers call a writers block , but I will still tr my best to write chapters , well I actually have two reasins for wanting to finish this story so badly and the reason for this is because there are some scenes from Phantom Bullet , Calibur and Mothers Rosario in my had which just wait to be written down but I just simply can´t because if I do then I might forget that I ever wrote them so I will keep them in and just continue with the current Story and so on we go
Lugru Corridor ( Sylph Entrance )
After our little group had flewn for another good while they finally came to the entrance to the Lugru Corridor and after walking through the caves of Lugru for a short while it was finally to dark for them to see anything and so Kirito begun to speak some words in the language of Alfheim and casted a Nightvision Spell over all of them , after that they were finally able to see something and Leafa who had recovered from the shock of finding out that Kirito was her brother , made a joke about how Kiritos Spriggan magic was finally useful for something and that perhaps someday his illusion magic would save their live to which Kirito commented that her words didn´t sound like something positive .
While they were walking deeper into the cave Kirito tried to practice some of the words of his spells and Leafa lectured him that he would need to understand the meaning of the word , to which Kirito complained that he didn´t knew that he had to learn a whole new language in a game . Yui giggled lightly about her fathers antics and Akuma smirked thankfull for the fact that his fire magic didn´t need that many words to cast .
" Now don´t be such a crybaby . " said Leafa , but before Kirito could answer a small icon popped up that indicated that Leafa had recieved a message and it was from no other then their Sylph friend Recon.
It said "I was right with my thoughts , be carefull , S ". But Leafa and the others weren´t able to make heads or tail of it , but then suddenly Yuis head went up and she said " Something is following us . "
" Monsters " asked Kirito .
" No they seem to be players , at least 12 of them . " Yui answered .
" I have a bad feeling about this , let´s hide . " Leafa said .
" Great idea but where . " asked Akuma and instead of answering him Leafa grabbed the arms of Kirito and Akuma and dragged them over to a small indentation in the wall and signed for Yui to come over as well and after everyone was assembled in it , she begun to cast a illusion spell that created a fake wall in front of them .
After a small amount of time Kirito spoke up , " What is that . "
" Huh , what do you mean I can´t see anything . " asked Akuma .
" It isn´t a player ... a bat ... it´s eyes are shining red . " Kirito said .
After five seconds of watching the path from which they came , they saw a red spark and Leafa jumped out of the fake wall which removed said wall and begun to cast a wind magic spell all the while explaining that that thing was a tracer of an extreme high level and that they had to destroy it .
Leafas magic killed the so called tracer and after it dispersed into polygons Leafa told them to run with the reasoning that their enemy would know that they had destroyed the Tracer and that they wouldn´t be able to fool them anymore now , she also explained that the Tracer was from the fire element and that that would speak books about who their hunters were .
The only question remaining now was, what a group of Salamanders would want in this mouintaing passage .
After running for a minute they had finally reached the bridge at whichs end was the safe zone of Lugru but before they could enter it a giant stone wall appeared out of nowhere and blocked there path and so still in full sprint Kirito jumped into the air and striked the wall only to get thrown back and for Leafa to explain to him that he wouldn´t be able to break Earth Magic with a simple sword .
" Well what should we do now , swim through the lake . " Akuma asked .
" No directly under the surface of this lake are extremely high level monsters and we would only be able to fight them probably with the help of the Undines . " explained Leafa .
" Well then there is no other way out then . " said Kirito and prepared his Sword to strike at a moments notice , Akuma and Yui followed his example , but when Leafa begun to draw her Sword Kirito spoke up again and asked her to only be the support for this fight and that she should heal them if necessary , because then they would be able to concentrate on the fight more througly that way.
Leafa jumped back a short distance with a smile indicating that it was ok for her and the others got ready for the incoming Salamanders .
The Group of Salamanders consisted of three Shield carriers who stood at the front , behind them were three healers to heal the Shield Carriers if necessary and at the end were 5 magicians and the chef of the group who was also a magician.
Kirito was the first to charge them but they blocked his attack and the damage he had done was immediately healed by the healers that stood behind them and directly after the heal came a rain of fireballs courtesy of the magicians group at the rear of the formation .
They hit home at Kirito and his Hp dropped to the half and Leafa had to heal him .
Akuma tried his luck this time but he was only able to get the guardians healths into the red zone but it was immediately healed again and he was thrown back by the fireball barrage that followed yet again .
Leafa told them that the wouldn´t take that long to get back to this point and that they should give up , but Kirito and Akuma shouted that they wouldn´t let any of their group memebers die no matter what and with a cry of rage , Kirito ran towards the three guardians and begun to pull their shields away from each other while Akuma just stood their and slow but steadily begun to emit a red glow .
Yui ran over to Leafa while the two were doing there stuff and asked her to use her complete remaining mana to deflect the next attack and even if Leafa thought that it was senseless she still did as asked and casted a barrier around Akuma and Kirito and not a second to early because right after the barrier had finished forming it was bombarded by a hail of fireball that were all the size of the barrier , while the hail was going on the glow around Akuma begun to increase and Kirito begun to cast a spell that would turn himself into a monster .
When the last fireball hit and Leafas mana had reached zero the inferno turned into a firestorm from in whichs middle appeared two shadows , one was a goat with a long tail that resembled a snake and the othe was some kind of ogre .
The the two creatures let out a horrible roar which dispersed the fire storm and now they were finally able to see the two creatures , the goat had bluish-black skin , golden horns and a white tail , while the ogre had crimson red skin, dark red eyes and four white horns that were sprouting from his head .
Leafa didn´t know what they had turned into but Yui knew , they were from Aincrad after all .
Kirito had transformed into the floor boss of floor 74 The Gleam Eyes while Akuma had become the floor boss of floor 73 The Raging Ogre .
The Salamanders who saw those monster for the first time since they had begun to play this game begun to flee like scared mices but they were killed one after another by the two floor boss copies , all except one which Leafa had begged them to spare so that they would be able to find out why they were following them in the first place .
When Kirito dropped the Salamander Leafa had her blade already in the Salamanders face and ordered him to speak , but the Salamander told her to just kill him that was until the now back to normal Kirito offered him the complete loot he had earned in this fight and after making sure that Kirito wasn´t kidding he told them everything and when he was finished he asked them if he could go now and the group nodded to which he then disappeared .
On their way back to the gate to the town , Leafa asked Kirito what that back then was and after a small explanation and a joke about how Kirito had eaten a player , to which Kirito commented that he would show her after which he bit into her hand and recieved a heavy slap from her for it , they finally went through the gate and were now safe inside of Lugru .
" Uh that hurts , " whined Kirito and held his cheek .
" That is your own fault Papa . " said Yui .
" I just wanted to raise the mood after the fight . " said Kirito .
" Do it again and i will rip you a new one . " said Leafa and Akuma chuckled over the missfortune of his friend .
While they were looking through the stalls Kirito reminded Leafa that she had earned a message from Recon right before the fight against the Salamander , but when she checked her friends list it showed that Recon had logged out .
" Just log out and call him in real life . " offered Akuma and Leafa said that that was a good idea and asked them to wait for her .
After they had gone to a small area with benches Leafa sat down on one , but before she logged out she told Yui and Akuma to take care of her body so that Kirito wouldn´t be able to do any funny things with it .
Leafa rejoined them ten minutes later but this time she looked sad and told them that she was sorry and that she had to doing something really important and that she probably wouldn´t be able to come back .
Kirito answered her that she should tell them the details on the way instead and after a confused look on Leafas face he told her that there weren´t any other way out and that they had to walk no matter what and so they left Lugru over one of the bridges .
While they were running Leafa begun to explain the details about the meeting of the Sylphs and the Cait Sith that was going to take place in 40 minutes and she also answered Kiritos question about the reason what the salamanders would get from attacking the leaders of the two races , she also told them that it was non of his buisness and she also made the ridicuoluss offer of them killing her and then joining the salamanders of reacing the crown of Yggdrasil .
Kirito then begun to tell her that even if it was just a game that there were some things that you just couldn´t do and that he liked Leafa very much as a friend and that no matter what he would never kill somebody that was important to him and Leafa gave him a small thanks for it and after Kirito had excused for sounding arrogant he then asked Leafa for her hand and Akuma piggy backed Yui and then after Leafa took Kiritos hand they sprinted forward through the tunnels ignoring the hordes of monkeys that were spawning in their way until they were out of the cave and took of into the air to reach the Valley of Butterflies as fast as they were able to .
