- Job: Nightmare Challenge: The mystery of the Mystic Tower
Job Location: Mystic Tower
Rank: 100 year Job
Player Requirements:
- All members must be S rank and above
- 40 posts per player minimum- 500 words per post minimum
- Maximum of 6 Mages, minimum of 2
- High quality posting
Job Requirements:- Destroy the 33 lacrima: Each is equivalent in strength to an artifact(+) weapon and is highly resistant to magical and physical attacks. In fact they are so resistant to physical attacks that any damage done via a physical blow will only be 5% as strong as it normally would be. Their magical resistance is high, but they can be destroyed by 2 S rank spells each.
- Defeat yourself: Once five lacrima have been destroyed you will each be attacked by a doppelganger, capable of using all of your skills, primary magic and secondary magic as well as you. They are equal to you in every way except for the reversal of their colours. These will be at full health and will have seemingly infinite MP because they are fuelled by the lacrima around them. Their health is equal to a mage of your rank. Note: Despite the fact they may use AOE spells their magic for some reason will not harm the lacrima. As such you must fight them whilst bringing down the lacrima.
- Defeat Boss: Once you fell the doppelgangers, providing you are able to, the boss(es) will appear. The boss(es) appear to be a mage(s) clad in robes of black and wearing a pointed yellow hat. Their face is not visible, but two glowing white eyes are. They are H rank class mage(s) of great power and will use two magics. The first of these is Arc of Embodiment. The second is determined by the user, but will be different for each boss. These magics will however never be one that benefits the user in anyway shape or form. So for example, a dark slayer would never have darkness magic used against them. Whilst they have two magics they use both as a primary and so have a great variety of spells. Every three posts they will use a H rank AOE spell. All other spells they do will cause S rank damage. This includes physical blows. Like with the doppelgangers their spells will not damage the lacrima.
The choices of secondary magic are as follows: Airspace, Amaterasu, Dark Ecriture, Crash, Arc of Time, Great Tree Arc, Solid Script, Orient Script, Seith and Heavenly Body magic.
The boss is a H rank mage as such it will take around 8 H ranks worth of damage to bring him down.
Note: A boss will appear for every two mages on the job. So if three of you are present then you will be facing two bosses.
If the boss is defeated and lacrima still remain after five posts then the doppelganger will resurface and the cycle begins again meaning you have to defeat the doppelganger and the boss again though this time the doppelganger will have the knowledge of how it beat you the first time and the boss will use a different second magic.
Job Description: The mystic tower claims the lives of anyone who sets foot in it. However, the most recent expedition managed to send back several images via lacrima vision. This revealed that at least one of the sources of the magic power is a large magical seal powered by thirty three lacrima. The mages tried to attack these Lacrima, but they were heavily resistant to both physical and magical attacks.
However, it was not the lacrima that was responsible for their deaths. Or perhaps it was. After attacking the lacrima for a while the mages were attacked by magic identical to their own. In fact, they were attacked by mages identical to themselves, except their colours were the reverse so white was black, red was cyan etc.
Enemies:
Lacrima x 33
Doppelganger x number of players
Boss (1 for every two players)
Reward: 250,000 jewels each - Destroy the 33 lacrima: Each is equivalent in strength to an artifact(+) weapon and is highly resistant to magical and physical attacks. In fact they are so resistant to physical attacks that any damage done via a physical blow will only be 5% as strong as it normally would be. Their magical resistance is high, but they can be destroyed by 2 S rank spells each.
All right! So the plan is to return back to the tower where we met the sunny dumbasses. There is apparently some Lacrima in there that should not be there. Once we destroy them, we will be able to fight whoever caused it. Ignite would explain, her fist slamming down onto Elyx's office desk right in front of him, the paper around the fist gently gliding away as they tapped the ground. The ones under her fist, including the job paper itself, would be heavily wrinkled due to the amounts of force placed in her excited punch. The young mage in turn would tilt his head to the side. That is not a plan you idiot. You are simply restating the job. Now an actual plan would be to use attacks that attack multiple targets at once. Admittedly, it will be costly since it could damage the tower, but those Lacrimas will cause a lot more harm. It seems like the job demands sacrifice. Elyx would explain, placing his palm over Ignites fist before lifting it up and off of the job request presented to them. His light brown eyes would continue to scan the paper, blah blah blah large seal, blah blah blah harmless lacrima. What did interest him though was how the source of the Lacrima acted before the Lacrimas could be damaged, since there are 33 and still are at this moment. Whoever or whatever was behind this clearly did not welcome attackers. There were two possibilities for this. One could be the big sudden reveal of the source, as it pounced onto them and strike down the mages with one swoop. The second and more likely explanation would be traps, lurking everywhere, possibly in the Lacrimas themselves. The job claimed that there was no harm in the Lacrimas. And that claim was probably wrong.
All right, lets depart. We're off to the Mystic Tower. Elyx would explain before standing up, palms against his desk before he'd head towards the door of his office. Soon, he'd walk towards the end of the Guild Hall with a smile on his face, thinking of the possibilities that this job might provide. It sounded fun, dangerous surely, but compared to what at this point anymore? Ignite would follow up right behind him with her palms placed against the back of her head, her red hair acting as a barrier. For once, her nose was not stuffed into a book about rifles. Good, even someone like her deserved to have a rest every once in a while. Soon, they'd depart from the guild before making their way to the tower at a walking pace. No need to rush anything by using Yuni, it had been a while since they went out together for a job. It was just their busy lives, so much to do nowadays. And with the recent attack that he had to endure, jobs such as these teach him to endure and prosper even while the odds are against him. Little did he know that biting off more than you can chew was something quite different than challenging yourself.
