Equestria's New Adventurer
Chapter 19: In Which I Harden Up
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI woke up in an interesting predicament. All of the plushies that were around me the night before had moved around. The three Face Monsters had their mouths around my hands. The jaws were slowly moving. The Creeper one was moving and bumping into the wall over and over again. The Blood Crawlers were on the wall. The Crimeras were floating around in midair. All in all, the things were pretty cute. I woke Mutate up with a laugh. "Why are there flying stuffed toys all over the room?" I laughed even more. "You know what, fuck it," She teleported out of the room.
I looked around the room. Fuck, what do I do now? I decided to open the Crimson Crates. I ended up with quite a few things. I got something called a Bloody Arachnid Staff. I used it and a mini version of the spiders popped up. There were a bunch of Hardmode bars. I also gained another Crimson Heart. I looked in the World Menu. I noticed something odd. The Crystal Empire had a skull beside it but Equestria didn't. I poked the skull and a caption popped up.
This world has unlocked Hardmode. Huh. Interesting. I'll have to fight some more. That... kinda sucks. Fuck. I went to Equestria. I swaggered out of my treehouse. I got a swarm of bees to fly me to Canterlot. Luna was on the throne. "Hey Lulu!" Luna looked over at me with very concealed embarrassment. I jumped up and started flying with my boots. The ponies below were kinda scared. I landed on the ground before I heard a voice in my head. It was dusty. Master, the bodies are ready. I may need more mana. I asked him where he was. I am at the Canterlot cemetery. "I have to go see a pony about some dark magic, bye!" Luna blanked out.
I walked out of the room and walked towards the cemetary. Along the way I opened the Wall of Flesh Treasure Bag. I got a Demon Heart, which I promptly consumed for the extra accessory slot. I also gained a Leader Emblem. I pulled out a fuck-massive sword from the tiny bag. Breaker Blade. I gave it a few practice swings. It was pretty damn fast for a sword many times larger than I am. It would probably be useful for dragons.
I made it to the cemetery. The pony was there. I tossed him four Mana Crystals. He used them. Because of that, he started becoming darker. When he had used all four he had a skeletal image superimposed over his form. His magic started to grow darker and more monotone. He spoke to me. "With the new magic that was contained in those crystals, I am now an even greater necromancer.Thank you," He started exuding a black mist which seeped into the ground around him. A bunch of zombies clawed their way out of the ground. Braaaaiiiins Wtf? Could I get a tome of Necromancy please? He nodded and tossed me a spell book. The zombies chose that minute to interject. Braaaiiiiiiinnss Not dealing with it. I walked away with the spell book in my hands.
"Good job. Continue," He nodded. I looked through the chat to see what happened when we killed the wall. The spirits of chaos and order have been released!... wat? Nope. My brain.exe cannot handle this.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Fucking forums.
I went to Ponyville. I called for a Eater of Worlds because I had to go to hell. He spit me out when he was harmed on the way out. There was a bipedal skeleton in a hat in the way. Fucking Tim? Fuck. "I was wondering when a new meal would come along. Those ponies aren't the best of food!" Nope.jpeg has been corrupted. Damn it, I wanted a nope picture! Fuck! I transformed into a lich from D&D, Tim looked scared. "Master? Please don't hurt Tim!" I took that moment to swing a net at his face. Tim Minion. We continued downwards. It spit me out once we reached Tartarus. When he spit me out I noticed some differences.
Hell was darker than normal with no flying demons for some reason. The lava was a purple color. I jumped down. There were more of the magic shard orbs around. I broke one.
A Sorceror Demon Has Awoken!
What? What the fuck? I had fought many kings! A demon in a cloak began hurling demon scythes and slightly different color scythes. They were green. I dodged on principle. I began sending my mini spider at the demon. It sent some webs to attack. My new sword was pretty cool as well. We finally killed the demon and he dropped a treasure bag.
Demonic Entities have been released!
I looked on the ground and there was a purple Hellforge. I picked it up and found out it was a Soulforge. I was slightly horrified that that was a thing but I pushed on. I found a demon carrying a purple voodoo doll. Guide Soul Doll. Huh. Interesting. I don't know if I want to do this... fuck it. I threw the doll into the lava.
The Guardian of Darkness has Awoken!
Huh. A wall of skeletons formed far away and an equine figure formed by shadows appeared in front of me. The skeletons started to march forwards at the same pace as the Wall of Flesh. The shadow pony dashed forwards and it made a pole-arm out of shadows. It swung it at me. I rolled out of the way and threw a grenade at it. It took some damage and I saw that it had half of the life of the wall. I continued attacking it. It started to become wispier at the halfway mark. All of a sudden there were two shadow ponies. One dashed forwards while the other stayed back.
I swung at the one dashing at me and the sword went right through. I equipped the Bladetongue and the shadow sliced at me with a katana. It actually hurt me. I was pissed. The pattern repeated itself and eventually I was seeing shadows. I had gotten one lucky hit in but it just made it have three copies with lower defence. I was on my last limbs of health and was out of healing potions. I prepared to die. I felt a burning inside of me. I could suddenly feel all of my body grow stronger. A 'whoosh' noise blew out and a pair of glowing wings spread out from my back. I saw spectral images of the beings that worship me. My wings straightened out and sent out two beams of light. One of the beams hit something I wasn't even aware of. The copies disappeared suddenly.
The second beam hit the original piece. It got down to 1 health. "No! We were so close! I will not give up just for this!" The voice was disturbingly feminine. She shot a beam of shadow at me. It hit me in the face. I could feel something inside of my head. A worming corruption, it forced it's way into my mind. It then got mobbed by all of the creatures on my side, including Chrysalis. "How? How do you have so many allies who can share your mind? That would kill any other creature except the changelings!" I carefully hid my shock as I cut her down. I got a treasure bag and a message for light and dark spirits appeared. I grabbed the Pwnhammer from the box and ported up to the surface. I decided to open the dragon bags.
The Dragon Honor Guard Treasure Bag contained the crafting materials for them, something called Mirror of Ororrim Spawns an mirror of yourself to attack your foes. Wat? It also contained something called a Twin Dragon Breath. It was a magic weapon. I took it out and sprayed it in front of me. I felt some shock when a burst of flames burst out of my back. Huh. I went back to the Crystal Empire. It was slowly starting to get dark.
I saw Crystal Clear training in the barracks when I got back. He was stabbing at the dummies in the yard. I walked up to him. He nodded at me. I then remembered the metals I had. "Clear, now that you've practiced with both sword and spear, which would you prefer?" He whirled the spear around and placed it on his back.
He walked to me with the spear on his back and said, "A few weeks ago I would've said sword, but now I see that both the spear and the sword are useful. I'd prefer a sword but if I could get both I'd want both. What will I get?" He looked at me.
I beckoned for him to follow me and we went to the workshop. "You will be getting a sword and a spear, the spear will be at a lower tier though. Do you accept?" He nodded. I made, first a Mythril Anvil, then an Adamantite Forge. I made the forge for the large amount of ore I had. I smelted all of the ore. Clear was staring at me because I had smelted bars that fast and in the same shape. I made a Titanium Sword and an Orichalcum Halberd because they're slightly stronger. I also made an Adamantite Repeater. I gave the sword and the spear to Clear. He took them out. I saw the name hovering above his head change. |Captain of Captains Crystal Clear|
"No training with those, alright?" He nodded. I made four Adamantite Swords out of the remaining red bars as well as a full set of ranged/mage armor for Mutate. I took the swords out to the captains. I handed them all out.
Achievement Unlocked: Greater Weapons of a Dictator; Your military is looking up in weapons. They're ready for base hardmode defenses.
Shit, weapons for my military are an achievement? May have to work on the armor next. I ran to my room. I opened Pyrite's bag. It contained something called Properties of a Dragon KingAbundant Abilities. It was an accessory. I decided to change all of my accessories around. I equipped my cape, the Alpha Sweetheart Necklace, the Lightning Boots, Properties of a Dragon King, the Obsidian Shield and the Demon Ritual Stone. I swaggered to the smithy.
I was much stronger than before and I felt a fire burning inside of me. I could see much more clearly and I could see how magical something was just by the glow. I could tell I had barely scraped the surface.
My Soulforge was the next thing to be placed. Once I did I found a recipe I was glad to find. For five Essences of Flight I could get a Soul of Flight. I made ten. I went over to my anvil and made something special, the Bone Wings. I swapped them out for the Obsidian Shield. I forged myself a set of the melee and summoner set of Adamantite Armor.In the end it was +18% Melee Speed, +23% Movement speed, +2 max minions, 6% Increased Damage, +4% Critical Strike Chance, 7% increased melee critical strike chance and 14% increased melee damage along with 45 defense.
I looked in the mirror I had in the room and took my sunglasses off. I cut a pretty imposing figure. The armor was blood-red with black runes all along as well as me having a pair of bone wings sticking out of my back. I walked out the door and into the courtyard. The ponies looked at me and nearly froze. I waved at them and they continued what they were doing. I placed black dye into my three armor slots and felt bad afterwards. The aarmor was fully black besides the runes, which were now the red color. I walked to the barracks and sent out my Zombie Goliath Minion. I just had to get lucky and get a Gigantic version. I came up to its knee.
All of the ponies stopped and stared at him. I sent him into the Crimson to fight some creatures. I also sent out my Tim Minion. He came out and looked scared. "Is Master here?" I felt a bit of sympathy for him and gave him some Magic Crystals. He looked so much more smug once he had more mana. I sent him to scope out the rest of the planet without eating anything sentient. By this time it was getting a bit dark so I put on my clothing and went to my room. I removed my wings and placed them in my inventory. I walked up to my room and was going to sleep when I saw a message that shocked me awake.
Darkness has joined your game. PvP is On!
...Shit.
