[A-tier]Christmas Raid

[You have one post to prepare for the incoming enemies. Include all items/equipment/beast you have with you in spoilers for your first post. Combat will begin in the next round of posting. Use this opportunity to set traps, group up with teammates, or otherwise prepare yourselves!]



Word of Santa's despicable ambitions to steal everyone's huang and magic tools has spread far and wide. Warriors from all across the world have gathered here at the North Pole in order to make a courageous stand against Ol' Saint Nick's army. A vast rocky wasteland of ice and snow spreads out before the Anti-Santa forces as they set up their ramparts and defenses atop a large ridge. Santa could take a different path out of the North Pole. but the lure of the huang and magic tools held by these defenders mean that he is sure to come, bringing hordes of christmas abominations along with him.

The various players who had answered the summons to defend the world from this nightmare would find themselves gathered just in front of a massive 20m tall wall constructed as the one and only line of defense against the incoming hordes. A billowing smoke cloud hundreds of meters in size could be seen in the distance even now, approaching and making its presence known through subtle vibrations that could be felt through the frosted ground.

Santa Claus is coming to town...

A fragment of memory sat as the huntsman’s form, this land was not the land he was used to though it was cold and desolate which was much to his liking, it felt satisfying and homely as if it was meant to have some importance to him.

To his back there was a wall, it towered into the sky for a good 20 metres and in front of him, he could see in the distance an approaching smoke like a moving fire creeping its way across the snow wanting to consume whatever got in its path. There was no way back and no way forwards, the only option left was fight there was no flight.

The huntsman took to stringing his bow and checking his arrows, wondering if anyone or anything else would appear before the smoke reached this wall.

Those whom saw the huntsman would see him coated in thick furs, layer upon layer these furs of mottled whites and grey beasts, a hood obscuring his features, the most standout feature was a bow of red bone held in his hands, the quiver for its arrows hung across his hips and a furred pack on his back, laden inside with several pieces of equipment hanging from its side.

Not far from the man, lurked a wolf, though it was no ordinary wolf. A set of large rabbit ears atop its head and several tails rather than a single one.

Zadi answered the summons of the world in order to defend against the evil known as Santa Claus. This vile being wished to snatch all things material and dear from the people of this world, though mostly just money and magic tools. Bringing along money and magic tools probably wouldn't be a smart idea if one wishes to battle against an evil seeking money and magic tools, but that's beside the point. Zadi made sure to arm himself in preparation for the coming battle, carrying his shield Rose on his back, his crossbow Flair on his right leg, his sword Rukh Slayer on his left hip, his magic crossbow Hunter's Spirit on his left leg, and finally his magic shield Standing Mirror strapped to his left arm. Zadi didn't bring his magic hammer for lack of training with the massive weapon. Such a weapon would require training to fully utilize in combat effectively, obviously.

As for Zadi's magic items, the blonde warrior brought along the ring Spriggan's Call on his left hand, the pendant Quartz Soul around his neck, the bottled ooze Sympathy Slime on his right hip, the other ring Airstep Ring on his right hand, and finally the Bottomless Gourd resting on the ground with Zadi's right hand gently holding the lip of the large drinking glass. The gourd would likely not be used in combat, but the food it produced could prove helpful if given time to rest during this war. However, if Santa Claus is as ruthless as he sounds, resting will not be an option.

Zadi looked around the icy area, noticing another defender dressed better for this sort of environment than Zadi. Zadi only dressed for what he thought the temperature could be, so hopefully a cold wind wouldn't blow and drop the temperature even lower. Zadi waved his right hand at the huntsman in hopes of becoming somewhat friendly. Allies must not always be friendly with one another, but Zadi felt teamwork could improve if all the defenders were on better terms. However, looking upon the huntsman reminded Zadi of a few things he had to do before the battle would begin.

Zadi ran 15 meters away from the 20 meter tall wall and quickly set up 2 Boisterous Cricket mines, each 10 meters apart. Zadi then ran back to but not to his original position. He addressed the other defenders, first the huntsman covered in animal coats, "Greetings, my name is Zadi. I just placed a couple of landmines 15 meters away from the wall, 10 meters awart, over there and there. Let's hope they work in this cold environment, hahaha-choo! Ugh, sorry. Anyway, take care."

The other fighters would be addressed in a similar manner, sometimes including a laugh followed by a sneeze. Anyway, Zadi eventually made it back to his original position 5 meters from the 20 meter tall wall and readied his crossbow Flair. Standing Mirror was re-strapped to his left arm while Bottomless Gourd stood behind Zadi. Zadi notched a bolt using his nimble fingers and stared down the wooden frame of the black crossbow, ready to fire if an enemy got close enough.

"Let's hope the initial wave gets startled enough by the landmines that the huntsman and I can easy shoot down a few enemies."

It happened again… the black haired girl dreamed about being in the winter wonderland a year before and now she was experiencing the same surreal feeling experience again. She was not sure if this was a dream or not, but she only remembered that she answered the summons to defend the world from… a santa? Beside her was her liger, standing tall beside her and ready to protect her from anything. In instance, Noir followed her instinct to check her belongings because she didn’t even know what kind of danger that may appear in this strange icy place. Her Staff of Storms and her rolled flying carpet were hanging on her back while a red colored dagger was hanging on her left waist, the healing bracelet was wrapping around her wrist as well. So far she got useful items that she had with her and she noticed the cat-shifter amulet as well as crimson crystal hanging on her neck. On her finger, there was a ring made from obsidian called the ring of mauna loa. That was all that she could find with her and she was relieved because it was all a very useful items and weapons.

She would mount her liger and noticed that there were people standing there, she chose to approach them to know if they were her allies or not and mentally crossed her fingers because she wanted to avoid any fights for now without knowing the terrain. Once she got close, a man coated with thick fur could be seen talking with a blonde haired man that she remember seeing before but she wasn’t sure where. The blonde man explained to the other man that he had placed a couple of landmines and made sure that she remember it before introducing herself, “Greetings, my name is Noir. Do you know what kind of place is this? And… are you here to fight Santa as well?”

The approaching cloud of snow seemed to grow bigger as it approached. The rumbling of the ground beneath the defender's feat only increased in its intensity. Soon, a disturbing sound could be heard in the distance as the encroaching army of Santa marched ever near. Quiet and hard to hear at first, but raising in volume gradually until it could finally be identified as a song! A terrible song declaring Santa's approach and demanding all who stand in its way to bow their heads in submission.

---

Santa's army had come! Its forces were split into various groups that would attack the defensive wall at various separate points. Three noble fighters in particular stood out from the various defenders at this section of the wall. They would be the beacon of hope for all fighters on the battlefield. The enemies had arrived and could now be seen at the forefront of the billowing snow cloud their marching kicked up.

Enemies:

Santa himself emerged from the great cloud of snow, standing tall like a giant. His two towering candy cane weapons held in hand. Then the massive billowing sound of Santa's voice echoed across the battlefield!


The words were a sign for the battles to begin elsewhere, but Santa himself merely stood there 20m away from the defenders at his section of the wall. The confident winter warlord grinned a toothy grin and slammed his two candy canes into the frosty ground planting them in place.

"You fools should just surrender now and give me all your huang. I'll take your magic tools now. But I'm feeling generous so I will give you all one last present from myself. Take your best shot! Ho! ho! ho!"

Santa would then stand still and allow each of the defenders one chance to attack him. He stood there confidently with his arms crossed, grinning down at the fighters with an air of arrogance. Even if they would approach him, he would do nothing until they had made their opening strike. Though he will begin retaliating against each fighter once their first blow was made even if others had yet to make their move.

Zadi spoke back to Noir in order to answer her questions as best he could, "I honestly don't know where we are, but I know I'm here to defend the world from Santa Claus. Take care."

After Zadi had prepared himself for the incoming smoke cloud, the sounds of Santa came echoing through the snow. The sinister song wasn't very uplifting, but at least it was catchy. Anyway, the abominable troops of Claus' army showed there very ugly mugs, marching in a strange formation. However, the threat himself appeared before Zadi, Noir, and the huntsman. His height dwarfed the three fighters, being closer to a mythical giant than the largest Imuhakk. Zadi shivered a little, but whether this shiver was caused by the cold or Santa's presence is unknown to the blonde defender.

Unfortunately, Santa stopped short of the landmines. Zadi would have used on of his crossbow bolts to shoot a mine to explode, but he didn't think the blast radius would be enough to hit the red giant. Zadi had to listen to the arrogant speech of Santa, hoping to find some opening. In a way, the opening did appear. Santa said he would let himself get attacked three times, once by each of the three present defender.

"To take so much damage would be suicide, if he was normal. With how many shields I have at my disposal compared to Noir and the huntsman, I might as well get close rather than stay far away."

With said thought crossing Zadi's consciousness, he left behind his Bottomless Gourd and walked towards the mighty Santa Claus. Standing Mirror and Flair were still in the blonde's left and right hand respectively. Everything else also stayed on Zadi's person. Hopefully this equipment wouldn't drag him down as he fought. Zadi stopped short 10 meters from Santa's position and began to speak.

"Alright, Santa! Many thanks for the generous offer! Best of luck!"

With that being said, Zadi used his exceptional strength to easily maneuver Flair into firing position, aiming for Santa's torso and firing a basic bolt in an attempt to deal A-tier damage. Zadi didn't think this lone bolt would do much of anything against this massive foe, but getting a free shot is always nice. Zadi then used his nimble fingers to quickly reload Flair using his shield-strapped left hand.

Zadi could attempt another 'free' shot, but wanted Santa to move first. Right now, even Zadi wasn't close to the landmines. Similar to Santa, he was positioned smack between each mine and 10 meters away from the wall. If Zadi wanted to make use of the mines, he would have to goad Santa into attacking him, maneuvering the giant such that a mine would be within range of detonation. With these mines being nothing to scoff at, Zadi would need to think strategically if he wanted to use them for maximum effect.

Solomon coming too he felt odd as he remembered almost just going asleep after dealing with a new fellow named Endolf, he looked around and it was nothing that he remembered. It was almost as if he was once again in the tundra of Imu with the frigid air and snow surrounding him, oddly enough he carried his items and weapons on him and Mamoru was already waiting to see what he would do. "What happened?" He would ask out loud almost as if he was asking Mamoru would stood nearby. Turning around that is when Solomon would see a large wall, it stood 20m tall. It was the vibrations of the ground that would make him spin once more to look back out, he would watch as a smoke clouds formed and would grip both of his axes tightly he had no clue what was going on he remembered agreeing to something vaguely however the memory would not come back to him, however he would fight either way. He would see three others near him, one of which he would remember it was Noir their was another he similar remembered from the dungeon he had conquered but another he had yet to meet yet. Making his way over to Noir he would avoid what the man was planting near the wall, "What is going on he would ask anyone who was willing to reply." It did not seem as if they would need to answer however as the smoke cloud had came more into visualisation their was a army and that who leaded it took on the form of Santa.

"I bow to no one!!" Solomon would reply to the Santa as he stood tall, their was no reason as to wait to be attacked as he watched one of the one's near him begin his attack. Solomon would then chant "Electrify Ronove" However then immediatly begin his next chant, as his blade transformed,  "Djinn of Paralysis and Shock give me your power, paralyze those who stand against us and brighten the dark clouds above for those who await for us...electrify Ronove" Others around him would watch as he transformed. And without waiting to see the Santa react he would his is Ronove's Spear shooting a bolt of lightning from the tip of his axe pointed at the Santa. He would not have Mamoru attack as he wished to test the strength of the enemy before endangering one of his own.

The black haired girl was relieved when someone that she recognized and cared more than anyone else in the battle right now approached her. ”I am not sure, but he…is our enemy.” Noir would reply to Solomon as she pointed towards the Santa. Haku could feel the anger in his master’s voice and he tensed up, knowing that he would need to get ready to commence attack whenever his master wanted him to. The black haired girl wouldn’t move from where she was at the moment, still being 20 meters away from the wall and the santa and waited until Solomon finished with his attack with his Djinn. After that, she would took her staff of storm and sent the Santa a dagger of death glare, “You have no right to tell me what to do!” The magician yelled as she drew circle by using her staff and created 30cm vibrating orb from the tip of her staff. The orbs travelled 20m away towards the santa and Noir made sure that the orb went pass Zadi and right towards the enemy’s chest. Having a Djinn user in her side was reassuring, but the Santa might not be that easy to defeat. She just hoped that her cymatic magic hit the Santa.

The huntsman watched as the other three that had appeared began their attacks, it seemed the trapper even moved to assault the tower abomination that stood in-front of them. However, something didn’t sit right with the hunter.

This creature it acted so confident, why would it openly allow hostile creatures to attack it, the smoke trail behind it couldn’t have just been created by this creature. If this creature wasn’t the leader, then the leader must be far more deadly, however the way it carried itself….

The huntsman didn’t choose to engage the towering creature but rather headed to ground, looking into shevika’s eyes and getting her to come close as she perked her ears up, the huntsman sheltered into the snow…

Looking and searching for movement, there must be something more, the others beings he was sure could at least distract the giant, however to be certain the huntsman made sure to distance himself far enough that he would be out of the creature swing reach of its weapons it carried.

An arrow sat notched ready to go should any creatures appear as the huntsman… Hid(e) his Presence and began Feeling the Earth to find hidden creatures.

Feeling the earth:

The first of the attacks to land was Zadi's, his arrow flying through the air and lodging effectively in Santa's gut. Blood spewed from around where the bolt impacted but it didn't pierce more than a few inches into his massive body.

"Ho! ho! ho! Tis but a scratch!"

Santa shouted as he grasped one of his candy cane rods which were nearly 15m tall just as he was. Santa rose the large cane high into the air and then moved to slam it down towards Zadi. By mere chance, the angle of the attack would leave the mines planted earlier unmolested allowing them to still serve some use later on.

Moments before Santa's strike landed, a blast of lighting struck his cheek creating a streak of burned flesh. But the bolt was unable to pierce him and veered off to the side shooting past his head and into the north pole sky. Santa turned to face the source of the bolt, Solomon, and took in a deep breath. It was then that Noir's attack landed on Santa's chest causing flesh and muscle underneath to ripple violently.  But Santa flexed his pecs causing them to swell along with his rising lungs. The vibrations were broken and Santa exhaled sending a large frosty cloud of winter breath that smelled of spoiled eggnog. The cloud was 10m in diameter and its trajectory placed both Noir and Solomon in its path.

The path of Santa's club-like weapon was obvious, allowing Zadi to use his exceptional speed and strength to side-step to his right about 2 meters. The ground shook when the candy can impacted near Zadi. If Zadi had tried to defend against such a mighty blow, would Standing Mirror have been shattered? The question only needed answering when no other option would be left. Keeping Standing Mirror in tact would allow useful magic to be used. Anyway, having dodged the candy cane strike, Zadi again used his speed to get close to the grounded candy cane and stomp on it using his A-tier strength. If Zadi's foot landed on top of the candy cane, he'd try to keep the foot on top of the cane. There would probably not be time to talk, but Zadi tried anyway.

"Must be difficult to swing such a heavy weapon with just one arm. Mind if I add to the difficulty?"

Whether or not Zadi's stomp was able to happen didn't deter the snappy dialogue from taking place. The point of speaking would be to keep as much of Santa's attention on Zadi so as to allow everyone else to attack without worry. However, with Santa's breath being so versatile, Zadi didn't think distractions would really matter. Though, one strange thing bothered Zadi a little; the huntsman didn't seem to have attacked. Unfortunately, with Zadi being preoccupied, the blonde defender didn't have the luxury to look around for the huntsman and simply had to trust his fellow defender. Granted, two other defenders with the ability to use magic would be a great deal of trouble for Santa regardless.

So, after the snappy dialogue from Zadi, he promptly fired another basic arrow at Santa's torso, specifically the abdomen, for more A-tier damage. The blonde defender would then try to reload Flair using his nimble fingers before Santa took another action against Zadi. He also made sure to keep his landmines in thought so as not to forget them. They may prove vital later.

Haku was ready to bring his master away from the rotten smelled breath coming from the Santa, he could already smell the stinky scent even though it was still far. However, the liger was wondering why the black haired girl didn't command him to use his enhanced speed and go away. Instead, the female magician pointed her staff of storms towards the incoming attack and poured magoi into it to create a massive amount of wind. Of course, the black haired girl would speak loudly to warn her companion, "Solomon! Run!" She delivered the tornado right to blow away the breath and the moment she managed to cast it, the golden eyed girl would command her beast and telling him to bring them away from where they were at the moment. Haku would run by using his B-tier Fanalis Speed and by using the speed, they would go 10 meter away to the left. After that, Noir would stay still, wanting to observe what the Santa would do. It was clear that the Santa was not an easy enemy..

Solomon thankful for his release as he could now easily become one of the biggest distraction for the others to work with. Unable to deal almost any damage he was unable to see the true strength of the enemy, he would see as the others would attack however he could not determine how big of a threat this enemy truly was. Solomon was unsure what he would do about the frost headed towards the two of them however the need would fade almost instantly as he smiled, he knew he could trust Noir as he then heard her say run when she dealt with it alone he would sustain his full Djinn equip, "No need to run." Solomon would use his whistle to signal a single, short high-pitched which would command Mamoru to use Crushing Weight even though scaling to reach to 20 m as he knew that the enemy was farther then his usual target. After commanding Mamoru he would allow the whistle to stay in his mouth as he gripped both of his axe's tightly and took to the air, he would use his flight to get as close as he could to the enemy's head before using his Ronove's Blade in a over head swing as a Basic Attack to then hopefully activate Impact Strike directly atop of the head of the Santa. Then following up with his Howling Axe he would hopefully position himself to swing as a Basic Attack once more to catch the eye of the Santa. Solomon knew that he could not stay still in flight so he would attempt to keep in motion, the goal being close to his face that he would have no choice but to deal with him rather then the others below and hopefully they would avoid hitting Solomon himself.

The huntsman’s sense scattered across the ground in search for anything moving in the area, out of the creature’s weapons reach the huntsman had positioned himself with the ability to observe the flank of the other creatures, he had appeared there with.

Two of these beings fought alongside beasts themselves, blasts of concentrated energy and arrows struck the giant creature, though the appeared to generate little effect, while this occurred the huntsman had spent time trying to detect incoming creatures using the giant as a means of distraction to ambush the group.

So far the huntsman had observed his local area for a short period of time, he would continue doing so while making sure he maintained his distance from the creatures range, Vodarara would continue Feeling the Earth and continued to Hide his Presence.

If creatures were to emerge the huntsman would look to engage with his normal headed arrows, to bring them down before they could reach melee range.

Santa let out a boisterous laugh as he watched the pissants try to fend off his attacks. Zadi struck first by stomping onto Santa's candy cane, while also doing his best to distract Santa from the rest of the guardians. The colossus of a man simply pulled his weapon out of the ground, knocking Zadi to the side, dealing only C-Tier damage to his side since it wasn't a direct hit. The blonde human then landed on his feet and attempted to fire a potshot towards Santa. Santa wasn't having any of this though, so he simply deflected the arrow with one of his candy canes. A large grin stretched across Santa's face as he prepared his counterattack against Zadi. "It's time to kick some ice." Santa said, lunging towards Zadi with both candy canes aimed for him. However, the attack wasn't entirely over yet as he continued to slash recklessly in Zadi's general direction.

Even though Santa's attention was on Zadi at the moment, he still was keeping an eye on the others. Noir's tornado managed to blow away most of the eggnog breath as she made a quick dash away from the area, keeping a keen eye on Santa. Solomon on the other hand, was able to completely dodge the eggnog breath due to Noir's fast reaction. Solomon gave a quick command to his pet and flew towards Santa, preparing a powerful attack from both of his axes. Mamoru sprinted towards Santa at an incredibly fast speed, smashing into him, cracking one of Santa's ribs. "Ho?" the jolly giant said curiously, grabbing onto Mamoru with a tight grip and tossing the animal into a large piece of ice, dealing B-Tier damage to Mamoru.

As Solomon finally made it to Santa, he attempted to down a downwards attack with both of his axes. However, Santa was quick enough to block the attack with his two large candy canes. Santa then opened his mouth and unleashed a horrible smelling frost breath onto Solomon, freezing the Imuchakk long enough for him to swing towards him with one of his candy canes, and leaving Solomon with a very small window to break out of ice and dodge. Both Vodarara and Noir were still a huge threat, but at this exact time, Santa was forced to focus on Zadi and Solomon, possibly leaving him open for a ranged attack.

Zadi's skillful balancing wasn't enough to save him from his own stupidity, landing on his right side which dealt C-tier damage to his right shoulder. Zadi's plan was for Santa to lift the candy cane in an upwards direction to prove he could indeed lift the candy cane plus Zadi. This would have allowed Zadi to get close enough to cast Standing Mirror's ability, but alas such a plan would have inevitably put Zadi in a more precarious position. Anyway, Zadi was able to reload before Santa lunged at him with both candy canes. Zadi was able to use his exceptional speed to side-step to his left, but then Santa decided to slash recklessly numerous times. Zadi was able to side-step a few more times but eventually had to tuck and roll towards his left. Thankfully the strike that forced Zadi to tuck and roll was the last strike before Santa went to block the djinn user. Then a large animal came into Zadi's view and successfully struck Santa's rib cage.

Using this time to gather his surroundings, Zadi was able to determine his current position being near the left-most landmine. Using quick thinking and his exceptional speed, Zadi positioned himself to the left of the left-most landmine. He then used his nimble fingers to arm his left hand with Flair, freeing his right hand for the next step; Zadi dug into the ground around the landmine and used Unearthed Cicada to fling a meter of earth, sort of. Part of that meter of earth included the landmine! Zadi had aimed for Santa's right leg, the side opposite of Solomon's position relative to Santa. If the chunk of earth hit (B-tier damage), it would likely explode (+A-tier damage), but just in case Zadi also fired a bolt from Flair aimed for the landmine within the chunk of earth. The chunk of earth with the landmine impeded would hit Santa's right leg before the bolt reached due to Zadi's timing. The explosion wouldn't be large enough to affect Solomon at this current position. Good thing, too, for Solomon had some stank breath to worry about. Immediately after firing the bolt, Zadi reloaded Flair using his nimble fingers.

(OOC: Sorry for taking so long, I caught a cold...during a 'relaxing' vacation. Not the greatest first act of a vacation I've ever had (also not the worst). Anyway, now that I think about posting order; there can't be one if staff consistently posts every 48 hours. No need to wait for me or anyone else to post~)

The black haired was just managed to safely getting away from the foul breath, but it seemed that her most trusted companion was looking for a fight personally with the Santa as he decided to get close to the Santa. It was not that she underestimate Solomon, she still didn’t know the strength of the Santa even though Solomon was wearing his djinn equip, the Santa might be stronger than him.  The black haired girl clenched her teeth  when the Santa unleashed another foul breath to Solomon, knowing it might be hard for the man to get away. However, now that Zadi and Solomon were acting on his own, Noir would notice that the huntsman would be doing something else that looked like he was hunting something that was still unknown. That might be good actually in case Santa had a comrade waiting for their turn to do an ambush.

However the girl didn’t want to just stay still there and watch, she was eager to do some fight as well. So while she was still mounting her liger, the black haired girl gathered water sources from the ice around her and pointed her staff towards the Santa. “Pioggia Bolla” she said with a determined tone and sharp glare. Four enhanced balls of water appeared around her and she controlled it so it would float until it reached Santa’s behind before she chant, “Scoppiare.” Right after that, the balls would burst, right behind his bum and the cavitation magic would start to affect him.

Thankfully the others were doing well at avoiding Solomon, and Mamoru did his command properly; however oddly enough Solomon’s lighting did not strike when he did an overhead attack like he usually did which was odd as he had never seen that happen before sustaining his Djinn he would try to do it again. However taken by surprise by the Santa’s breath Solomon would be frozen, he could feel as if the cold reached his bones almost instantly, thankfully the ice only required a small amount of strength that Solomon could produce to break the ice, and due to his race he knew he had it much better then one of the others if they were caught in it due to Solomons Imuchakk Physiology. But in that time the Santa did not hesitate to throw another attack at him, he had no time to command Mamoru to do anything he had to react to the incoming damage. Swinging downwards with both of his axe’s as he was above the Sanata’s shoulders and he would have to clash the candy canes with each of his axe’s as Basic Attacks, thus again trying to use Impact Strike. But the lighting strike would be targeted at the head of the Santa once more.

Mamoru would use this time to get his grounding from the damage he had taken, looking to the huntsmen before making his way back to Solomon.

The huntsman continued observing the fray while maintaining his vigil over the group, the Imuchakk man engaging the giant in hand to hand combat was consumed in the creature breath and frozen stiff, it seemed this creature had the ability to even freeze, creatures of the cold like the Imuchakk.

The creature left a large opening, so far nothing had appeared but it seemed that he was being ignored by the creature, however the huntsman couldn't be sure how long these fighters could hold up or how long it would take before the creature would turn on him as if he was a little bug out of frustration.

The creature could still suffer injuries from strong hits, Vodarara doubted a shot to the heart would penetrate deep enough, so decided to target the creatures sensory organs, the eyes themselves would be a hard shot, high-up and past the creatures weapons and guard.

The huntsman had another choice, the creatures ear, the ear helped with senses in both balance in terms of when the huntsman had been affected by sounds, an arrow going deep into the ear could cause serious damage.

He would require a Pin-Point Shot however it would have to pass through the creatures hair to reach the ear, the huntsman would drive deeper force into the shot to help guarantee the hit.

After setting the arrow flying, the huntsman would withdraw and continue to monitor for other hostiles by Feeling the Earth and continuing to Hide his Presence

The blonde haired warrior was able to quickly make some distance from the lumbering giant and begin his assault from afar. The large chunk of earth Zadi had hurled at Santa's right leg landed flawlessly, causing B-Tier damage to the limb. However, the bolt he had fired at it to trigger the mine did not work as he had originally planned. Instead, Santa used his fast reflexes to deflect the bolt completely with one of his candy cane weapons. Even though Zadi was a force to be reckoned with, Santa had other matters to attend to first before dealing with him.

Noir was keeping her distance from the fight overall, but it was finally time for her to strike. The cat-like girl gripped her staff and started to cast a very powerful cavitation spell. Four balls of water appeared from seemingly nowhere, and floated towards Santa's behind right before exploding directly behind him. The force and burning power of these bubbles left a large burn mark down Santa's shirtless back. The disorientation part of the spell didn't effect the creature though due to his sheer size and power. Santa would have crushed the magician if he wasn't already locked into combat with both Zadi and Solomon.

Out of everyone on the battlefield, the Imuchakk was the one to surprise Santa the most with his raw skill and power. He quickly broke out of Santa's ice prison and attempted to strike back with both of his axes once again. The Imuchakk and Santa's weapons clashed together, causing an extreme amount of force to blow away anyone/anything near the impact. (Knocking Zadi away from Santa.) The attack was slightly in Solomon's favor, due to Santa being both distracted and previously wounded. The lightning from Solomon's attack ran down Santa's weapons into his arms and throughout his body, temporarily slowing the monstrous man from reacting to future attacks.

While Santa was mainly impressed by the Imuchakk he was locked into combat with, the unknown threat that lurked in Santa's very own shadows was one even a monster like Santa would learn to fear. Vodarara the shadow of Imuchakk finally decided to unleash his wrath upon the clueless Santa by firing his Pin-Point Shot directly into Santa's eardrum, effectively deafening the giant in one ear.

More attacks got through to Santa than he was expecting. Perhaps he had been underestimating his opponents this entire time. Santa was done messing around. The giant let out a deafening shout, causing everyone near him to be staggered momentarily. He then used his powerful legs to leap up on top of the 20m wall that towered everyone in the vicinity. He took in a deep breath while holding his large stomach, as he sucked in a lot of air. He then immediately released an incredibly loud "Ho! ho! ho!", signaling his nearby minions to come assist him.

Enemies:

After about 10 seconds of radio silence, his allies finally arrived. 28 Abominable Reindeer soared out from behind to wall, landing on the battlefield full of A-Tier guardians. The reindeer then split up in packs of 7, making their way towards each guardian. The guardians must fight the enemies coming towards them before Santa would come back down. The jolly old beast was merely trying to weaken his enemies before coming back down to fight them.

Noir clicked her tongue the moment her attack only gave the Santa a backless burnt shirt but it seemed that it didn’t affected him at all. It was frustrating because so far, whatever that they did didn’t really work on him and it seemed that he was just toying around with them all. Now that he was out of reach, the girl needed to find a way to get closer to him but probably not face him head on or she would be killed easily. As she was thinking, Haku began to growl and she snapped from her thoughts only to see a lot of…weird looking creatures appeared in the battlefield possible answering the santa’s summons. The twisted looking creatures reek of rotten scent and it was horrible, Noir could see that it possessed multiple heads and legs that only made it looked more corrupted.

They were splitting up and seven of them were approaching Noir, but the magician wouldn’t just stay still right there and do nothing. Her golden eyes reacted to the rage that the girl felt and the color shifted to crimson. She gritted her teeth and gripped her staff tighter, waiting until the reindeers were around 15 meters away from her before whispering to the rukh and chant her spell’s name. She would sustain her Pioggia Bolla and aimed it towards the twisted creatures. She was hoping the shockwave will be able to reach all of them at once and crush them, but only to be safe, Noir would command Haku to attack as well right after her. “Burning Roar”, she said to her beast and the liger would produce a cone shaped heatwave aimed towards the reindeer.

Zadi's tiny boulder hit the giant Santa in the leg like he had hoped, yet didn't explode like he had hoped. Thankfully Zadi thought ahead of time, but so did Santa. Zadi must have been too specific where he positioned himself or Santa simply didn't want to get hit by another arrow. Either which way, Zadi felt like the battle was going pretty well for the defenders of the world against Santa. The Imuchakk was frozen, but he seemed to easily free himself. After all, he's an Imuchakk, practically immune to the cold. He then clashed with Santa's massive strength, giving Zadi a glimpse of Santa's maximum. That is, until Zadi was knocked back from the force of the clash. The magician used some more magic and successfully damaged Santa. Then out of nowhere, the huntsman shoots a miracle shot into the ear of Santa. If only Zadi could shoot like that. Anyway, the damage buildup seemed to be bothering Santa, so he jumped up on top of the wall behind Zadi.

Zadi got up from being knocked back and noticed Santa calling out for a reason that would show its ugly face shortly thereafter. 28 fleshy constructs came jumping out from the back of the wall and split up into groups of 7 against each of the A-tier defenders. However, Zadi didn't want to deal with these pestilent reindeer; Zadi used his nimble fingers to switch out Flair for Hunter's Spirit, loaded the magic crossbow using those same nimble fingers, and then fired a vine from Hunter's Spirit in the direction of the 7 reindeer coming his way. However, just one vine wouldn't be enough to fell so many enemies, so almost instantly after having been fired, the vine split into 32 vines, each with the capability to deal B-tier damage. Perhaps this was a mistake considering how much magoi Zadi used to pull off this massive volley of vines, but Zadi normally didn't use magoi to deal with an enemy anyway. The reindeer could very well be quicker than they look, too.

Zadi made sure to keep the landmines in memory. The thrown landmine didn't explode yet, so maybe it was still of some use, if it isn't a dud. Then there's the landmine still buried in the ground closets to Solomon. Hopefully a reindeer or two hit the landmine without hurting the other defenders. Only time will tell.

The fragment of Vodarara saw his arrows strike home against the giant creature, the arrow lodging satisfyingly in the creature’s ear. It wasn’t long after that as he was bombarded by attacks from the other creatures around him that the creature leapt airborne landing himself on the wall.

Not long after that the creature made a call and shapes began appearing behind him, the huntsman saw large numbers of them though with the giant in a precarious position the Huntsman took up taking clean Pin-Point Shots at the giant, rather than putting all the force into one arrow, this time he would take the time to launch two arrows with lesser force.

One arrow would be aimed for the creatures right eye and another for his right gonads, the huntsman assumed with its human like appearance it would likely have said Gonad’s in the same area that both he as a human did and a Imuchakk male would.

Once these were free, the huntsman would find the abomination like creatures closing in on him, some grotesque form of flesh and muscle and he would begin to back pedal using his Shimmer Scale Cloak to generate a Phantom Mirage having it remain five metres forwards slightly and to the left from him while following the next same actions as the huntsman as he launched Basic Arrow after Basic Arrow after Basic Arrow after Basic Arrow after Basic Arrow after Basic Arrow after Basic Arrow, seven in all one for each individual beast that pursued him.

Solomon knew he could mostly trust Noir, however he was greatly surprised and content on the power of those behind him, and how could easily worked together with one another. He knew if it was not for their attacks he would have probably lost the clash with the Santa. It was not till the Santa let out a shout that was quite deafening as he was directly near the source, it would force Solomon to land to the ground in attempt to distance himself from him however he would continue to sustain his Djinn equip. Suddenly afterwards Solomon would be able to watch as the Santa took to the air in a giant leap. Now above them it seemed quite terrible even to him as he could not imagine if he jumped and landed with such force how the others may deal with it or if they could. After then again vocalizing Solomon watched the Santa , only after 10 seconds he realized that the enemy did not come alone, they seemed quite grotesque however Solomon did not feel as if he should focus on them as he wished to take on the source of them, who knows how many more could be summoned by the Santa. But after the pack of grotesque creatures packed up he knew he did not really have a choice, however it still would frustrate him as he knew the longer he held his djinn equip the more magoi he would have to pump out. However that did not mean he could not rush to get through them, Solomon would charge to each abominable reindeer he could near him, avoiding any area of the mines set previously and if he had any issues reaching them he would just add a bit to his flight then bring himself back down to the earth. Charging the first abominable reindeer near him he would use his Ronove’s blade swinging overhead as a Basic attack in attempted to cut it in half, if successful or not he would use the Impact Strike to either hit it again or the next nearest Reindeer. Then in the same fluid motion he would use his howling blade to then swing horizontally as a Basic attack against another deer. Blowing his whistle he would also make sure that Mamoru was doing it’s part, however he did not wish for him to bite any of the grotesque creatures as he was unsure how it was effect him. Thankfully with his strength he knew that Mamoru was more then capable of using his claws alone. With two high pitched lengthened whistles Solomon would command Mamoru to use two Basic attacks with his claws, how many he took out he would find out afterwards. However his goal was to slowly make his way towards the wall so he could take on the Santa whether he made his way back down or if Solomon had to make his way up.

Mamoru's Trait:

Magoi: 170/260

Santa watched from above silently as he watched the guardians begin their clash with his creations. He had been planning something special for each and every one of them. The guardians were just about to find out whose been naughty or nice.

The magician has had it quite easy so far, for she's been conserving her attacks and staying far in the back to keep safe. She was also the eggnog that left this aching burn mark down Santa's back. Once again she made sure to keep her distance from the reindeer, casting her pesky magic from safety. She cast her bubble spell again, aiming it directly towards the 7 Abominable Reindeer that were coming towards her. However, she decided to be extra safe and use her liger to use it's heatwave attack to ensure their demise. Unfortunately for the Noir, a single reindeer managed to escape her onslaught of attacks. It flew directly towards her with it's nose glowing a bright red. She had a very small opportunity to dodge out of the way, but things were suddenly looking quite grim for the unsuspecting magician.

Zadi was quite the slippery one, but his luck was surely about to run out soon enough. For He too did his best to keep his distance from the goliath known as Santa, but they soon would all learn the true terror of the jolly man and his monstrosities. The ranger managed to switch to his new weapon in a flash, quickly shooting at the 7 Abominable Reindeer coming his way. However, instead of his normal bolts, this time he shot out 32 vines. These vines were enough to completely demolish all of the reindeer in no time. However, strangely enough, one of the abominations heads had actually detached and was flying towards Zadi's left leg. If he wasn't able to react to the head fast enough, his leg would be gored for B-Tier damage.

The cloaked man known as Voda continued to be a complete nuisance as he continued to fire at Santa even after he had retreated for the time being. This, however, would be one of the many mistakes the ranger would make in a very short period of time. His shots towards  Santa sitting on top of the wall were blocked by a single reindeer, killing it instantly. He then attempted to shoot the oncoming reindeer one by one with his basic arrows. While he did manage to take out three of the reindeer this way, the other two continued to dash directly towards the ranger. One of them was lagging behind the other ever so slightly, so its attack would give Voda a chance to dodge it. However, the one in the front would charge directly into Voda, puncturing him in the stomach for B-Tier damage.

Solomon the Imuchakk was still easily one of the most frightening people on the battlefield. The power his Djinn brought him was incredible, proven as he let out an assault of attacks that would easily take out most of the reindeer coming for him, reducing them to nothing but a puddle of disgusting filth. However, as Solomon was fighting off the frontline of enemies, two reindeer managed to sneak up from behind him and started to charge directly towards him. Solomons vicious pet, Mamoru was able to take care of them with ease. Solomon was the only guardian at the moment that truly frightened Santa. However, with Santa's next set of actions, Solomon's clear showmanship of strength might be put to rest.

As the final reindeer fell in battle, Santa finally picked himself up once again. He had been resting while his creations fought the guardians below, but it was time for Santa to finally put an end to this charade. Santa looked out over the battlefield one last time, right before leaping directly off of the wall and preparing his two candy canes to strike the earth as well. The impact of his landing would be absolutely massive, completely changing the center part of the battlefield. The guardians must either flee to safety or find a way to protect themselves for the next post, or they will suffer some kind of damage when he finally lands.
