Chapter 33: Sandstorm Saori

Hehehehehehe! Nearly 5k words. I'm a monster. Alright, writing this took longer than I thought but when I wasn't writing, I was doing…homework…asshole. But I was also trying to solve the problem below.

[I've stayed in school but a friend of mine, who reads this, moved back home to another country. Now, she doesn't use her RSA number anymore so I've been trying to find a way to reach her since her other friends seem to keep asking if I've kept in contact with her. I assume they lost contact with her as well.

I'd send her a message on Wattpad since she writes there but it seems to me that stuff isn't private so I can't just ask. 'Hey, can I get ur number?'. So, at the end of this, I'm going to hint at my email address which ends in - obviously but I need to be discrete and not have others barging in. So, she need to figure it out and isn't an idiot.]

Disclaimer: You get the idea. NO I will not stop writing that FF belongs to Square Enix and SAO belongs to Reki Kawahara. Do I spell these right?

"The boss raid," Lumino muttered. He looked to the Wandering Barracudas. Both Lumino and Kizuna immediately spotted and kept their eyes on Aria. "Is the empire involved?"

"No. This is a monster boss. No imperial troopers. No magitek. Surprisingly, it's not even a daemon."

"If that's the case, is this many people necessary?" Yami asked. Heathcliff sighed heavily. It wasn't good.

"We sent out a group of 7 scouts into the boss room 2 days ago. Only one returned and he retired from the guild and front lines altogether," the leader said. "He had cuts and everywhere, was missing an arm and told me had low HP from being poisoned."

"Lumino, we should go with them. We can hear more details on the way," Kizuna said. The raven nodded and Heathcliff got the message, getting everyone into a corridor created to enter the dungeon straight away.

"What intel do we have?" Kizuna asked hoping to think of something.

"Her name is Saori the Desert Queen. Her appearance shouldn't be a surprise after hearing her name. She wields a fan and casts powerful earth and wind magic. From what we've heard, she will open with a sandstorm blinding wounding everyone."

"That explains the cuts but where did the poison come in?"

"Scorpions. She has a lot of them lurking in the storm. We guess she can give status ailments such as poison, petrification and confusion."

"Meaning, we'll need healers. Kizuna, Lily. We're counting on you," Lumino said as the two nodded. "Are there any other weapons we should know about?"

"He didn't know if he was confused at the time but he told us that Saori had a bandit sword on her waist."

"Close range is restricted. Magic will be difficult if we use the wrong element. Aiming will be a hassle so guns may be out of the question. Damn, this one is tough," Kizuna said muttering, trying to think of a way to win. He felt a pulse of magic come from his pouch and quickly looked to it. He put his hand over the pouch and was about to open it but Yami grabbed his wrist and shook her head.
