taking another hit and getting thrown back into the tree he winced as he slid down it back to his feet. [I] dammit that hurts[/I] glancing at his health bar he noticed it was yellow and getting close to the point where he would be in the red Adrian quickly put his guard up. [I] im not dying because of these damn things[/I] earlier he had stumbled upon a group of 12 nepents including one with a flower on its head he had quickly dispatched two then retreated putting his back to a tree as to not be surrounded. looking around he took inventory of the enemies he had left to defeat three normal ones and the one with the flower the others had fallen on his blade. gritting his teeth Adrian yelled as he rushed two and dispatched them with a flurry of cuts. this time the hit to his back knocked him to all fours and sent his bar to the red zone as he rolled to avoid the finishing blow Adrian came back to his feet and felt a rush of anger and adrenaline. [I]I AM NOT DYING BECAUSE OF THIS I WILL SURVIVE......I WILL FIND HER.......WE WILL LIVE[/I] bringing his blade up he rushed the flowerless one executing the sword skill tsujikaze he then continued towards the other with a flower upon its head and used the move ukifune or floating boat knocking it into the air allowing his body to move naturally he lept into the air and activated a third skill gengetsu and spinning in a circle drove his blade through the creature cutting it in half as he landed in a shower of data he heard the last creature behind him and quickly ducked the swipe letting its momentum carry it past him standing he parried another hit and thrust the point of the katana through the creature. after the explosion of data that ensued a message popped up "congratulations on reaching lvl 5" to tired to realize Adrian made his way to the second town and into the first floor of the inn where he then passed out from exhaustion his last effort was raising his hand and whispering "im sorry" before he fell into unconsciousness.
