Enter the Castle [Mod]

[Holly Mason]

Holly had noticed this place much sooner, not long after it appeared she believed, but it only took her a few steps up the staircase leading to the entrance to make her realize that this place was completely out of her league.  Until now.  Not only was her raw ability at least on par with the shadows around here, she also had the means to actually attack the god damn shadows with something that did more damage than a puff of wind.  Due to a lucky find on her end, the weird lady in the gap managed to create some powerful knives for her to use.  The lady was still pretty shifty in her opinion, but this did a lot to improve her opinion of her.

Now to get into a random fight to test them out.

One shadow...one very shiny, somewhat glowing shadow.  That wasn't something she had seen before, but she had seen stranger things than wrestler Jesus at this point, so whatever.  A one on one battle was a reasonable way to test out her new attack power.  Without a moment of hesitation, she called her newly shinied persona to weaken the shadow, as usual.  The shadow lunged at her as she cast, a light so bright that it hurt to look at appearing around its fist, but as it charged it miss-stepped and ended up rushing right past her smashing its face into one of the support pillars behind her.  The pillar was practically turned to dust where the shadow hit, so she was glad that it didn't hit her.  The shadow shook its head, and while it was momentarily befuddled, summoned her persona to weaken it again and threw some knives at it shortly afterwards.  They hit, and it looked like they hit pretty hard.  More than she was expecting, so much so that she wasn't even sure if the shadow was weak to it.  It didn't seem to recoil in the way she would have expected if it was, but she had never done that much damage at once.  Holy shit this was awesome.

Holly was careful to position herself so that the shadow wouldn't ram its face into anymore support pillars if it missed her.  It would be pretty bad if this place collapsed on her before she could properly explore it after all.  The gigas continued charging at her, but because of her debuff its aim was terrible.  That combined with the power of her new weapon meant that she took down the creature in record time.

Life was good.

Suddenly, nice things.



Like money.

She was pretty sure that was the fastest she had taken out a shadow since she was exploring the executive building.  Normally she expected these fights to take some time, but this was like nothing at all.  And only with two uses of Debilitate and no other casting!  She was even in good enough shape that she didn't need healing right now.  Holly almost didn't know what to do with all this extra time.  Almost.  Considering she was in a shadow infested castle that she hadn't checked out before what she should be doing with that extra time was pretty obvious.
