World is Mine (Mod)

[Luka Kurokawa]

The outskirts of the city were certainly far from interesting. That hadn't changed even after the formation of the circle. Certainly the outskirts were much less pleasant to look at now that they were completely barren of life. In that sense, Luka sort of missed the old fields of grass that could be found here. Today, she had chosen to go on an excursion much further than her usual runs. She went past the terminal and through the city in hopes of exploring what remained of the outskirts of the city.

Luka could tell that she was likely getting stronger. Before, she would have difficulty simply making it past the terminal. As of now, she could come and go from the outer circle with ease. And from a few trips before, she had learned that much more powerful shadows were found in the outskirts. The first area of note that she found was the old abandoned mine near one of the villages. It had been out of service since before Luka was born, but she could sense very powerful shadows from within. The mine would be her target for today.

Reaching the entrance of the mine, Luka peered in to find nothing but darkness. Just by being at the mouth of the cave, Luka could feel the cold air from the inside. She pulled out her flashlight and began her spelunking adventure for the evening. Luckily, the girl didn't really fear the darkness. She was cautious, of course. There was no need to trip and fall some more or get ambushed by shadows. With that, she continued through the tunnels, in search of enemy shadows to take down.

Luka had a bit of difficulty navigating through the tunnels of the mine. The darkness was a large impediment on her progress, forcing her to slow down a bit. After all, she didn't want to trip more than necessary. Other than the darkness, it was cold, and quite cramped. On the bright side, Luka felt that she wouldn't get lost. She had a pretty good sense of direction. And as she was looking around the various paths she could take, she heard the sounds of serpent-like slithering coming up from behind her. Turning around, she was confronted with two serpent shadows. The first one was thicker, while almost mechanical in movement. The other was a bit thinner but faster. Readying her evoker, the girl prepped herself for a hopefully quick battle.

She decided to open up with a multi-hit attack. Yuki Jyorou! Mabufu! The attack connected, hitting both of them with very mixed results. The larger one seemed nearly unaffected while the smaller one seemed to nearly freeze from that single attack. The two serpents sent out elemental attacks of their own. The larger one sending an ice attack while the smaller one sent out a burst of fire. There was little room for Luka to maneuver around in the cave. She was forced to simply brace herself from the two powerful attacks. Luckily, when the two collided, the majority of both attacks had collided prematurely. This lessened the blow by a significant margin.

Ready for another attack, Luka made a repeat of last time. Mabufu! The effect was similar to last time, only the smaller snake had frozen for good now, shattering shortly after. The larger snake who had taken minimal damage counter-acted with its ice attack. Once again, it sent out a powerful ice attack at Luka, forcing her to take the full force of it. Staggering slightly, she broke her evoker to her head again. It was time for a change of pace. Mudoon! the dark based attack shrouded the serpent, painfully ripping it to shreds. Both the shadows were defeated. Taking a deep breath, she surveyed the area again before confirming her safety.

You're a wafu.



Wafu desu.

She had won the battle. The remains of the defeated shadows slowly began to dissipate into nothing. That would probably do for exploration today. The shadows here were certainly more powerful, just as she had predicted. The mines would require further exploration of course; but that was for another day. The cold of the mines were starting to get to her, evident of her shivering and visible breath. Her main concern now was catching a cold before she managed to get out. This would certainly be an interesting place to explore later down the line. And by that, she meant an awful experience. She could sense shadows far below where she was, meaning that this mine went down a considerable way. Perhaps there was a quick way down, so that she wouldn't freeze to death simply trying to reach the lower floors?

Thoughts for another time. Now was the time for rest and contemplation. Maybe a cup of hot cocoa too. A donut wouldn't hurt either, actually.
