Searching [Mod]

[Holly Mason]

Just how is this thing floating anyway?  She had searched the place pretty thoroughly already, but she hadn't seen anything that would make it float.  It was probably deeper in the castle but...well there was no harm in looking around some more right?  There was probably something she missed in her few explorations of this place even if she had been here a lot.  It wasn't quite the new mines yet fortunately.

So, last mission was to finish the mapping out the place and this time it's to search the area thoroughly for anything suspicious.  It seemed like a good plan at least.

As usual, her exploration was interrupted by a shadow.  How rude.  And once again it was only one shadow.  It was surprisingly consistent.  What made them always travel alone?  Well, whatever.  She needed to defeat this thing if she wanted to continue her search for other mysteries.

Her auto-buffs activated and she summoned her persona to cast the single stack of Debilitate she always did.  The shadow focused for a moment and was enveloped in a blue light.  It was staring at her intently, it was almost creepy really.  No matter how creepy it tried to be it wouldn't save it from her wrath.  If anything, it made her want to kill it more.  Holly quickly pulled some knives from her bag and threw them at the shadow.  It hurt it quite a bit, but it wasn't enough to finish it off.  That's when it attacked.  A large ball of darkness started forming around its head, and once it reached a certain size quickly threw itself at Holly.  It was almost enough to make her fall to her knees, but she insisted on staying standing.  She couldn't let that happen again.

Holly tossed more knives.  It was still her best attacking option after all.  The shadow charged up again, but it wouldn't get to cast anymore as one more throw was enough to finish it off.

Behold, victory.



And no spoils.

That battle took a lot more out of her than she expected.  That attack hurt more than any one attack she had taken before.  Really, it was like this battle was just a super condensed version of her pre-ability to murder battles.  She certainly felt about the same as she did after those. It was probably a bad idea to continue to explore.  Holly decided to heal up enough that she could walk reasonably and headed out of the floating castle.  She would have to come back to figure out the whole floating thing some other time.  Right now, it was best to rest.
